6 above-average players according to this:

If I'm reading this correctly, of the 30 teams that didn't make it, the 49ers are the 9th closest team, grouping them with teams like Cleveland and the Giants.

Just how far away are the 49ers from a Super Bowl?

Sure, but how many above average players do we have that were injured or suspended for a good portion of the season? Bowman, Willis & Aldon would have easily crossed off 3 players had they qualified.

13 or 14 regular season wins and two playoff victories. Or 10 to 12 regular season wins and three playoff victories.

Think the 49ers are exactly as far away as every other team in the league---17 or 18 games, if I am not mistaken, from reaching the Super Bowl,
Was this a trick question?

For next year's Super Bowl, not very far. They practice very close, so about 4-6 miles.

Talent wise this team is ready for the SB right now...but this all hinges on how this coaching shake up pans out. I really hope they did not just screw themselves in wasting a SB ready roster by turning over the coaching staff and promoting within the way they did. we shall see.

I'd have to agree.
At this moment the 49ers are six players in the right places away from the Super Bowl. Like it or not, and I don't 
, the 49ers have some holes and are not as deep as we would like to believe they are. In retrospect, the failure of the 49ers 2012 draft really did set us back 
. Baalke needs to hit some home runs with this year's draft and hope our young players develop.
