How come nobody believes in this team? | Page 15

The general consensus on this board is that we will finish with 6 wins or less. Now before I go on my rant, I am going to try and separate this thread from the rest. If I feel everything I am about to say has been said a million times, I will post it in the appropriate thread. Disclaimer: THIS IS A POSITIVE THREAD. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY ABOUT THE 49ERS, JIM HARBAUGH, THE OL, THEN DON'T SAY IT AT ALL. THERE ARE ALREADY PLENTY OF NEGATIVE THREADS THAT STRESS HOW WE SUCK RIGHT NOW. FOR ONCE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE REASONS WHY THE 49ERS WILL BE SUCCESSFUL THIS SEASON. Here are my reasons: Jim Harbaugh has swag. Obviously we don't know if JH will be successful yet. We only have our gut feeling at this point. I feel that everything JH has done up to this point has been better when Nolan and Sing were in their first years. I can just feel it. Call it charisma or whatever, but when I watch his press conferences I can see in his eyes a "Just wait and see" mentality. Now I know what you're thinking, Sing said "Just wait" many times, but JH doesn't have to. His awkwardness at the podium, his upbeat tempo during TC practices shows me he knows what he's doing. I read an article that says JH would be denied the opportunity to have a well organized TC because of the lockout, not because he is a bad coach. I beg to differ though, I think he is that good of a coach that he is utilizing every minute of everyday to get better and thus having a great TC. Right now ninertalk is in a franzy because everyone seems to think Harbaugh is in over his head, he doesn't know what he's doing yet because he is a rookie HC, he doesn't know how to handle his players in pre-season games, and doesn't know how to handle the media. I actually like the way he handles the media. Often times Nolan and Sing said too much to the media to overhype our team and made us the preseaon favorites to win the NFC West every year, only to be bitten by reality by midseason. Nolan and Sing also had the mentality to be Pre-Season champs and win every game only to start 0-5 during the regular season. Ladies and gentlemen, what we are seeing right now is the storm before the calm. Everything is in disarray, we look terrible in preseason, the OL looks regressed, the QB is the same, and JH is losing his credibility to some. But if you can walk outside and handle the high winds, the torrential downpour, the thunder and lightning and look up into the clouds, you will see the sun peeking through. You will see a team that is poised to make a run, and will fix EVERYTHING before week 1. You will see an OL that puts DL on their asses and Alex Smith (can't believe I went this long without saying his name) picking apart defenses. We all know he has the ability to given time. We will also see the little nuances JH has taught Alex this offseason (like side-stepping defenders, keeping his eyes down-field on the run) to make plays. Ofcourse Frank will be Frank and Crabtree will breakout. Edwards will be a great pickup for us and be that big play receiver downfield. Our weapons will be utilized to their full extent in Harbaugh's offense. Have some faith people!

People don't really have faith until you give them something to believe in. Jim Harbaugh gave us that.
The 49ers earned their respect the old fashioned way, by winning. I think they'll deliver for many years
to come. GO NINERS!

York confused said "you mean in GB" we had to literally explain to him the scenario in which it would allow the niners to have another home playoff game.

Moral of the story, York literally knows nothing about football

He knows what he needs to know; stay out of the way of Baalke/Harbaugh! Good enough for me.

LOL. The posts are funny. But early in the preseason with the lockout and no offseason and FA losses and early preseason games things looked bad. I knew Harbaugh was the right guy. I just thought it would take him longer to turn this mess around.

You pretty much had no clue what you were talking about and now you are extremely happy to be so wrong.

I knew Harbaugh was the right guy and said so many times. I just thought the team and pile of garbage around him would slow him down. Obviously he cleaned up the trash faster than expected. Good for him. Glad to be winning again.

I'm generally pessimistic about the 49ers under the Yorks until proven otherwise. You can't read too much into that. It's a glass half empty thing rather than half full...

Doesn't surprise me at all. It's a business to them. Nothing more. Fortunately they hired the right HC.

John York isn't even the braintrust behind the business anymore, his son is. -John is really just an lost old guy wandering around the stadium with pins, and feeds the birds in the parking lot during game time; lends his son about a 100 million a year to have fun with.
