Time for a reality check

reality check...


Bill Walsh was 2-14 in first year. most of you guys would be calling for his firing had the WZ existed back then.

preach!

The losses are definitely hard to overcome, but the FO has seemingly lacked a plan at almost every turn.

Reality is one thing ... effort, preparation, execution and experience, are another. That stated, there is no denying most of what you posted.

This. I can handle being 2-6, but when 5 of our games result in us getting blown out, it's inexcusable. Jed better fix this. Hell, even in 2005, the team was only 4-12 BUT at least they were competitive in SOME of the games.

But a good reality check is that we will have a s**tload of cap money to spend on impact players, we will have high draft picks, and we will have a new coach for 2016. But the sad reality could be that the 49ers won't spend the cap money, (or players wouldn't want to come here) Baalke adds to his all ACL team with our high draft choices, and we're stuck with Tomsula and his INCREDIBLE incompetent coaching staff.

thanks! I actually think Armstead, Tartt, Harold, Davis, Bell, Smelter, and Trenton Brown can all be really good for us as we rebuild.

Losses:
1) Justin Smith- we all knew would be hanging it up soon. Can't replace the best 3-4 DE in the NFL. (before Watt)
2) Aldon Smith- absolute steal in the draft, he ruined his own career. Baalke had to cut him.
3) Chris Culliver- not worth 9 mill a year. Situation almost exactly like Goldson.
4) Cox- sucks we lost him, but he got 5 mill a year, not sure if he's worth that either.
5) A.Davis- huge loss, great RT, not Baalke's fault
6) Boreland- see A.Davis
7) Crabtree - everyone wanted him gone anyway. Never lived up to his potential.
8) Iupati- got way overpaid, and still not a great pass protector.
9) Gore - heartbreak,but he wanted to play for a contender
10) Willis - another huge loss, in talent and leadership, not Baalke's fault
11) RayMac - solid starter, knucklehead. out of Baalke's control
12) Dan Skuta- solid tackler, spot starter. Left for 4 mill per @ Jax

______________________________________________________

Now add losing Bethea for the season, Boldin being hurt, Hyde getting hurt, Kilgore getting hurt, Bush on IR, and Bowman being slow to return to form.

Tell me this, how the f*ck can any team come back from all that and be good in 1 year? We were always f*cked for 2015.

Harbaugh was an a$$hole, and in 2014 the offense was a joke, he had no answers. Putting up with him when we were winning is one thing, but 2014 was a major step backwards.

Most of you fans have your expectations way too high. Let this be a reality check.

I disagree with bowman being slow. He has the highest tackle count in the nfl right now and our dline is way different and horrible coaching staff. If we can get better coaches and improve our dline, bowman will be a beast again.

the biggest thing i am upset about is they seem unable or unwilling to address real issues on this team like the line play. the sloppy play from our team with all of the penalties are squarely on the coaches in my opinion. I am upset because i was led to believe they would be a good group of teachers for our team. i am not upset because i was proven wrong on so many levels cuz I can deal with that. i am upset because it has all went south on us. sure injuries play a part and I can not downplay the fact we had no healthy running backs on our team sunday night... but i firmly believe injuries are a built in excuse for poor play and poor coaching. as 916 said,, not to even be competitive is the most disheartening thing of all

well your right about the tackles, but he gets beat in coverage often.

Sure, some people might. But, what if Harbaugh went 2-14 in his first year? I think most rational people would give him the benefit of the doubt. You know why? He's done it before. Walsh also won at Stanford. Tomsula hasn't won/done anything to give us hope, IMO.
