How Do We Feel Going Into This Season?

i see elite all over;

elite HC and QB with stud weapons, top LT, 2 DPOY types in the front seven, with year 2 mykel, collins, west, greenlaw back, elite secondary it's the best secondary we've had in a long time; probably the best team shanny has had yet; my one fixation is we aren't the same team without cmc on the field and we have no proven RB depth, aside from that achilles heel, and since when has an achilles heel brought anyone down

Elite HC and QB is very debatable. Not really seeing who on defense is a DPOY unless Nick comes back and looks amazing. Our weapons are good but fragile. Hopefully some young studs step up. A lot will depend on health and this team has shown the inability to stay healthy throughout the season.

the D is to me a #1 in NFL D with depth, talent, front to back play, coaching, then you add mike evans, cmc, trent, kyle, brock and 30+ ppg to a top ranked D, that's a super bowl ring imo

No expectations really. This team could end up being at the bottom of the league or could be making a run at the Superbowl. Not really sure how it will go especially with our history of injuries. I guess I will just enjoy the ride no matter how it goes.

Lately, health was always the issue with us... Niners can go deep in playoffs when they aren't missing 20 key players

One more solid Edge and a true FS away from being really scary on D. A lot of ifs can change all that... Sample, White, Height can step up and collectively be a big boost while the 2nd year guys (Collins, West, Williams) take a huge leap, Morris gets the secondary to be a strength

Hopefully, Bosa, Williams and Kittle can come back nearly as good from injuries, and CMC doesn't wear out

I'm still banking on 11+ wins and trip to SB

It's a real toss up. Remain healthy at key positions and the defense can stop teams from lighting up the scoreboard and it will be an entertaining season. Injuries reappear as they have been the past few seasons and the defense falls apart we are looking at another hard year. To win as many as we did last year with that mash unit was a true testament to Kyle. He completely changed my opinion of his coaching abilities. So hc is a plus. Qb is a plus. The rest is a toss depending on availability. If we just rating who wears the uniform we look very good. Unfortunately we need them to actually play… Slick Rick, CMC, Fred, tge entire defensive line, back up TE until kittle is ready and our new offensive weapon if he is available for more than 8 games we will have a good show to watch.

Yeah. Kyle is undeniably one of the best coaches in the league but to say Purdy is elite doesn't really jive with his overall record. Take last year for instance... He progressively worsened each time the Hawks faced him. He was pretty good week one even tho Seattle dropped 3 easy interceptions he still played well. Second time we played he couldn't get anything going and looked flustered. The 3rd game he was downright putrid in the playoff game in Seattle. I don't know if the presence of Emmanwori had anything to do with it as he didn't play week 1 but it was noticeable. I think he's a top 12-18 quarterback but he isn't Stafford or Allen or Mahomes or Lamar. His strength is his legs. He's a bit like Russell Wilson tbh in extending plays and his creativity outside of the pocket. He doesn't have the arm talent like Darnold does where Sam can solely operate out of the pocket

You're a Seahawks fan and you can't figure out why Brock struggled in the last 2 games?

Also disagree that he was putrid in that playoff game. Guy did all he could to try to keep us in that game but we just didn't have the bodies. Eventually the wheels simply fell off after the game was already over.

3rd string WR/TE group didn't help even when Purdy extended a lot of plays

It is starting to feel like off the field issues will hurt this team this season.

He worsened against the seahawks? you mean they got a psycho defensive head coach, improved their team and Purdys supporting cast went on IR?

add context to this dorky take.

If we can minimize the car wrecks so a crack head isnt filling in to coach

Great! Nice to see Warner and Greenlaw back there. Bosa and Osa and the new faces on the DL? Nice!
