They went to 3 NFCCG with mediocre QBs and no elite #1 receiver. They could actually adjust to their players and knew how to put them in position to win. Kyle has a ways to go to prove he's on their level honestly.
Yup, don't forget that first year there was a lockout as well. Alex was practicing on the streets with some players that year if my memory serves me correct. The coaches couldn't have contact with players in the offseason.
Harbaugh was the person that helped Alex resurgence during that season. Amazing turnaround, I believe the numbers don't lie.
"Before Harbaugh's arrival, the 49ers were ready to give up on Smith, the first pick of the 2005 draft. It was generally agreed that he was a flop. Google "Alex Smith and bust" and you'll get thousands of hits.
And it was largely the 49ers' fault. They mishandled Smith every step of the way. They couldn't have done a worse job of nurturing a young quarterback if they had tried. They could give a clinic on How to Screw Up a Quarterback. In fact, let's do it for them."
2. "Hire four head coaches in seven seasons, from the defensive-minded Mike Nolan (2005-08) to former linebacker Mike Singletary (2008-10) to interim coach Jim Tomsula (one game in 2010) to Harbaugh (2011-). Two of them handled the quarterback dramatically different than Harbaugh — or mishandled."
