Good draft position, restructured Kaepernick's deal so we can cut him after this season, loads of cap space to rebuild with, getting Ian Williams and hopefully Bowman back after this season who may have been even more important to stopping the run than we realized last year (now that they're gone, we have the worst run defense in the league by far).

On the other hand, our defensive line is much worse than anyone would have expected even if we knew we'd be missing Ian Williams. We may not have any cornerstone young players on the roster, but at least we'll get a chance to rebuild from scratch through the draft and free agency as long as we keep losing games.

er... ah... I wasn't strapped to a chair with Clockwork Orange eye openers and forced to watch the full four quarters. That's about all I got.

Weren't we supposed to do that last offseason? Can't trust the front office to rebuild

We kind of look like the 2011 49ers with a slightly worse defense and special teams but probably a better passing game but worse oline and a similar run game. That team made it to the NFCCG. That team had a lot of doubters and a lot of people betting against it just like this team does. If the line can hold up and our run game can average 4-5 a pop and our defense can bend not break and st's can do their job we should be a 9-10 win team. I don't think we are going to be nearly as bad as every says. We just need to play good defense and st's, run the ball and keep to short passes not 7 step drops that kill drives and we should be alright. I think we win 9-10 games, at worst should be 7-8. Edit: And our young guys are getting a ton of playing time and our secondary with Brock, Johnson, Ward, Acker, Reaser, Reid, Tartt and McCray should be pretty good for a long time.
