They are lacking a certain element at QB, tbh..a certain skin color that is required to succeed at the QB position..
...not win a Superbowl with the coaching/talent they have? What team is more talented?

No team is a lock. This isn't the NBA where you get a seven game series to potentially turn things around. It's one game on one day in the playoffs...and one bad decision in a pressure filled moment can end it all quickly.
getting raped in the SB and needing the biggest fluke in SB history in order to make it a game
I don't think their coaching is anywhere near the advantage that people try to make it out to be. I do see a lot of Rex Ryan in Jim Harbaugh. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them start to go down hill this year.
Please, elaborate on that take.
You said the same goddamn thing last year, Avante. I think SF may have won the super bowl if not for your re ed takes. How about gravitating over to the Chargers, where the rest of the delusional, oft-butthurt fans reside
The 49'ers are the second best team in their division.
Short version, because I'm in a rush: The 9ers remind me of the old Ravens. A team can only win on swagger for so long. Jim was firmly out-coached in the Superbowl. The better coaches in the league will start to be the 9ers this year. By going down hill, I mean begin to not advance as far into the playoffs as they have now. They'll be sort of like the Packers and Saints as far as playoff success goes.
Please, elaborate on that take.
I can elaborate later tonight if you want.
Tbh, the Niners might not even be the most talented team in their own division.... the Seahawks are pretty ing stacked.....
Please don't, this franchise is cursed enough without that old got jinxing them even more with his takes
I agree that he was out coached in the SB, and would also agree that it's entirely possible they don't go as deep this year as they have in the past two (based on law of averages alone,) but long term I would disagree. The Niners have what has turned into, imo, one of the best front offices in the league coupled with one of the better coaches in the league. I think Jim will learn from the past and get better. Guys like Belichek and Coughlin, for example, didn't just come in and win SB's right away but had to go through a process.
Sorry CN... How about the Raiders, then?Please don't, this franchise is cursed enough without that old got jinxing them even more with his takes
you are the most consistent poster on this board
I don't think as highly of the SanFran front office as you do. I think the past regime was really good and that this current one is reaping the benefits of their predecessor's hard work. It's the same reason why I'm not giving Elway credit. I don't think it's fair to evaluate this front office until a couple of years down the line, when the talent that was already on the team starts to leave. This draft will be big in determining that front office's future.
I don't like Harbaugh as a leader or strategist. He got out-coached in the Super Bowl because he has very little discipline. It showed in the two weeks leading up to the big game where he let his team run around partying. I gave him the benefit of the doubt with the Schwartz situation, but now I'm starting to think he's too much of a hothead to win the big one. I know he can calm down as he matures, but you have to wonder if he would be as effective of a head coach without his fire. The 9ers feed off their swagger. It gives them confidence to shut down their opponents. But it also leads to them losing focus in critical moments. And it leads to them being unable to accept responsibility for their failure. As far as Xs and O's go, I'm not a fan of their scheme. I think the read-option is a joke, first off. It's not a sustainable formation. When that threat is gone, the passing game will fail. On defense, they rely on a dominant front seven that wasn't really dominant in the post-season. They'll need to keep adding high drafts picks to it like the Giants do.
In general, I think the 9ers are a team that drafted well in the past and have a large stock of cheap talent. They've been able to win by simply being better than their opponents physically. That's not going to be sustainable. The Ravens were an old banged up team and managed to stop them by out-coaching them. Once the 9ers have their bad luck with injuries, they fall back with the rest of the contending pack in the NFC. I'm not saying that I believe they won't win a Super Bowl soon; I'm just saying that I would not be surprised to see them have to go in as a wild card next season and actually miss the playoffs in a couple of years. Teams hardly get very many years at their peak, and I think San Francisco is at theirs now.
Niners got on by Jacoby Jones, fools gold team.
Agree with Chinook on Elway. I'm sure the Denver fanbase thinks he's the man simply because it's John Elway running your front office, he has to be as good an administrator as he was a QB right? IMO the only thing he's done is get "Luck-y" when the Colts cut Manning and was in the right place at the right time to benefit from that. Yeah he got some other players to compliment Manning, but that has a lot to do with Peyton being there and his reputation for putting a team on his back than Elway negotiating with agents. They had the best O-line in the NFL and that's why Manning went there.
I think Welker signing there is more of that dude needing a super accurate QB to offset his smaller size at his position. It's only obvious he go from Brady to Manning if staying in New England wasn't an option.
Truth bomb.
I laughed harder at that than I should have.
I'm not saying Elway is terrible, yet. I just don't think anyone should assume he's good. He hasn't been very good in the draft, not as much in the picks as in the maneuvering. He doesn't seem to have a good idea of how to build a team. There's no way that they needed Welker more than Dumervil.
He (and Manning) gets way too much credit for the Broncos' success. If Denver has Alex Smith instead of Tim Tebow, they probably end up with double-digit wins a couple of season ago, too. I won't give Elway props until he makes a good non-obvious move on his own. Same with San Francisco's regime, but at least they drafted Kaepernick, whom the Broncos passed on for Rahim Moore.

i'm fearful the niners will have one of those super-bowl-loser-cursed-seasons tbh.
I am willing to hold off on the Kaepernick deal until I see Brock Osweiler play. This was an Elway pick. Rahim Moore was still a bad pick. Chinook should be happy about that move.
Kaepernick has not convinced me that he can get the job done. I also am not a fan of Harbaugh.
The Giants are right there with the rest of the NFC. They keep being their own worst enemy at the wrong time, but they have the talent to hang with the best of them.
damn, I think I'm just a bandwagon Chargers fan now. something snapped this year, I tried to care about who they replaced AJ and Norv with, I tried to care about who the NEW GUYS! signed in Free Agency, I'm trying to care about the draft... but it's just the same old ing song and dance, wake me up if and when you guys start making wise NFL personnel decisions and become contenders... otherwise I don't give a , because you already took all the s I had to give and then some...
I think the Seahawks are better tbh
Love Harbaughs coaching but two super costly moves ended both Bowl attempts.
1. Leaving injured punt returner in after he already botched one. Thus allowing Giant escape.
2. 2nd and goal 3 straight passes when you have the best option QB in the NFL. The blantant hold non call, you know going in that call ain't going to happen.
You do know that only a half dozen QB's out stat Warren Moon, right? You do know that Jim Kelly, Dan Marino and Fran Tarkenton never won a Superbowl while Gramblings Doug Williams did, right?
