What's your take on our coaching?

The real test will be what will Harbaugh do when Alex Smith is a free agent at the end of this year. His hands were a bit tied because of the lockout, which is a big reason he didn't make many moves particularly at QB. But after this season, will he offer the big money to Smith and say "yes you're my guy" or will he say "thanks, but I just needed a temporary solution"

My guess is he will get a raise (cap friendly and affordable) and if not, Kaapernick is being groomed.

Our roster isn't anywhere close to what Harbaugh inheirited. The 49ers had a top-tier rush defense LAST YEAR(I knew very well not to start RBs against 'Frisco in fantasy). They improved their pass D by drafting Aldon Smith and signing 'Los(who's average play here might be partially related to the work environment.

Offensively, Vernon Davis and Frank Gore have been consistently productive since 2009 and are safe to consider "still in their prime". Our offensive talents were aging, mediocre, or just plain ass.

Interesting. Kyle choose to be here and Mike only kinda wanted him


I tried to tell people this. Noooo.... Reading coach speak and learning when they are bullshitting is key. When the guy says things, like in this article, and when he says "this is going to take time", he's telling you "this team sucks and we are rebuilding" without actually using those words. Team was so devoid of talent. It's just the Skins fans put their players on some sort of high pedestal that isn't indicative of their real talent. My only problem with his plan of rebuilding was bringing in McDummy.

On a similar theme did anyone else hear on 106.7 FM the News section coming out of a break of the Lavar and Dukes show said that it's been reported the Skins are presently looking through the available WR's on the market to see what Vets are worth bringing in? It followed right after MS mentioned that people really don't know whats going on and (refering to players) some people need to stop running their mouths especially when they are not doing their job. lol.

So .... who gets brought in?

The comment under the article mentions the opportunity cost (w/o using the term) of Mike choosing to blow up the defense instead of concentrating on the offense right off the bat. I think the honest observer would admit the defense isn't even as good as what he inherited, and especially if you consider that probably adding a great FS and one more corner and we'd have made that top 10 defense an elite one. Instead the offense is the worst it's been in several years and the defense is still worse than it was.

I can't effing believe Mike still has supporters...it's just laughable. Every football fan I talk to outside Skins fans (and even some of them) see Mike has lost it and most of the roster has mailed it in. Ugh.

On a brighter note the level of play apart from Washington has been better than I expected w/ the lockout and compressed preseason.

Scary to think what the Niners will be w/ an elite QB!!!!!!!

Shanahan inherited a better defense than Harbaugh did period end of sentence. What he chose to do w/ it is the real story.
