The NFC West

Toughest division in football with the AFC North coming up quick. Overall the 49ers are still a young team so they should be on the uptick. Need to keep some pieces in place, keep them healthy, rebuild the CB position and they'll be in the mix for the division imo. They'll have a last place schedule, like on 2019, so that helps.

Stafford is not going to make a difference but the Rams are a good, well coached team.
Seattle without Wilson is a 4th place team.
Cardinals have a lot of upside. The X-Factor team and possibly our main adversary.
49ers are talented enough and certainly capable of winning the division if they can stay healthy.

Rams, especially now with Stafford should be the favorites, and rightfully so.

AZ still has to prove they can win close games and beat teams that they should beat. Murray needs to take that next step this year.

SEA as long as they have Wilson and Pete, they will be competitive at least.

We need a lot of good things to happen for us to be good. Especially on the DL side, it needs to be great again. DBs are obviously a huge question mark, and a new DC. Offense has potential to be really good, but Jimmy needs to stay healthy and play better and OL needs improving as well.

Cardinals signed Watt to replace some of what they are about to lose. If the Cap is $180 Million they are about $4 Million over it right now. And that's without Peterson, Reddick, and Drake. I read that 7 of their defensive players are free agents. People act like they are just adding Watt to their team and not losing anybody. Getting Watt and losing Reddick, does that really make them that much better? And the Cardinals still need to find a way to fix the Oline. Take away TW from us and that's what the Cards Oline looks like.

The Seahawks have question marks all over. They need help on the Oline,Dline, CB, RB, TE and maybe even Linebacker if Wagner keeps declining. And less cap space than the Niners and not much draft capital to fix any of it.

The Rams like all the other teams in the division need help on the Oline, They need Linebackers,They need an edge rusher And they still have to find a way to get under the cap which means they are likely to lose some key players. And like the Seahawks they have no 1st RD pick.

Get a dam center right guard and right tackle that can block

Rams traded for a career loser. Cardinals signing of Watt is a lateral jump since they'll lose a younger guy.
The division is really good but still lots of moves to be done this spring before we can take favorites.

I HOPE you are right about Dee Ford. But I don't see it. He's got a back issue and those just do not go away with time, rest or surgery. Joe Montana DID return from back surgery and continued to play at a high level. But he's an exception to this rule.

Don't think he's saying Ford himself, just Ford level production.

Remember the days when the NFC West was the laughing stock in all of sports? Then the Niners hire Harbaugh and suddenly everyone else in the division decides to wisen up just our luck. Would be nice to actually cruse through the division for a change
