Are we getting our hopes up?

Everyone is predicting a playoff season this year but we're still a very young team and just got younger with Anthony Davis and Iupati & even Taylor Mays possibly starting. It takes awhile to build continuity too...

thoughts?

Well, don't be surprised if none of those guys start either....and even if they do.....there is a saying in the NFL, for every rookie starting, you guaranteed 1 loss each just on them.

So, if you consider the Niners to be a 8-8 team, add in 3 rookie starters and it is very possible they go 5-11 instead

probably, but frankly, this is the year. We'll probably get kicked out in the first playoff game but its a start.

I'm keeping my hoop up.

My hopes are high, and here is why:

- I genuinely think we are heading in the right direction from an 8-8 season. Our team had a QB change during the season... massive OL and scheme problems... lots of drops and some close losses last year.... and STILL, we went 8-8. We have since squared away the QB spot... finally kept continuity... added a new OL coach and two 1st round OL... added speed to the secondary... added kick/punt return options... and our young guys have more chemistry and experience. Add to that, the Cardinals simply must be significantly weaker with the losses of Bolden, Warner, and Dansby. So yes, I see no reason that we can not win 2-3 more games this time around and be solid playoff contenders.

- I put my faith out there for my team regardless of the disappointments that may come. To not do so for fear of being emotionally crushed is just flat-out weak + cowardly. Don't be afraid to have high hopes for your team. If they fail, they fail... but the team really does look ready to improve on 8-8, and there's no good reason not to get your hopes up.

yes
