Kyle - Kap doesn't fit my scheme (mental)
HaRoman - He's the first one in and last to leave (physical)
Kyle > HaRoman
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."

The 2010 and 2011 drafts really keyed that run. Staley was already a great player. Then insert Mike Iupati and Anthony Davis roadgrading holes for Frank Gore and the physical edge that Harbaugh brought to the defense and what transpired was a thing of beauty for three seasons. I can appreciate what Harbaugh gave this organization, but now I'm ready to give Kyle his fair chance.
Dude has a ridiculous football acumen. He has a proven scheme in the NFL that has succeeded long term already. I think if Lynch and his team do their part and give Kyle some players, he will succeed. Time as always will tell.
