Are we actually good now? Really?? | Page 5

What I mean, is when I look over this roster and think about it on paper it seems like we have the makings for a very good team, bordering on a great little run in the future. We have tons of weapons all across the board on offence. We have an oustanding running back, with at least an improved left side of the line for him to run through. We have a 2nd string back who on his best day might have been better than Gore, we have a 3rd stringer who might just be a bowling ball as d-men wear down late in games. Crabtree looks like he should catch everything that comes his way, Morgan is a decent 2, and Ginn/Ziegler is a good alternative to stretch the field. We have a TE who can't be covered by linebackers and can block DE's. The D seems relentless in stopping the run and while it may have some liabilities in the air I think overall they will be top 10. I think Singletary is a fairly smart coach and will certainly keep the team focused in the right direction. I see it (as mostly everyone else does) as coming down to Smith, and Raye. If Smith can be fairly accurate (which he was most of last year) and play with some guts, and Raye doesn't call 3 runs up the gut every possession I am starting to think they could be very good. Please point out all the reasons why we will be 6-10 this year so I don't get too excited and then have the inevitable disapointment that has come with being a Niner fan the last ten years...

Think if you were a Raider Fan , they are on the Brink of committing “Hari Kari” which is most cases wouldn’t be a bad thing The 49ers biggest obstacle is staying healthy; if they are able to do that I see no reason why they could not win the West. Of course there are the Referee’s but we have no control over that.

6. We have a offensive coordinator who falls asleep during games.

9-7 sounds about right. Im scared s**tless about that first game. Tough home field advantage, first game with a new coach, niners have the saints on monday night the following week. Trap game.

i'm sooooo f**king sick of the "Sing is not an Xs and Os guy" bs. the guy wasn't a ProBowl/HoF middle LB for nothing. i'm pretty sure Sing knows more about Xs and Os than 99% on this board.

I'm gonna go ahead and say 100% If there is someone trolling Niner Talk that knows more than our coach we have a problem

Then we will have another new offensive coordinator and new system for Alex Smith.

mike johnson I think? Looking forward to that, think its in his bio somewhere that he made Vick look good when he got to call the plays for a couple games.

Are you really including the referee's in your analysis on whether the team is good?
