I totally agree and have stated as such.
They have lost Jonathan Goodwin and now it looks like Alex Boone to their oline. Iupati seems to be have trouble on offense.
Receiver core:
Boldin is getting older
Johnson is having a "dreadful" camp according to Grant Cohn (Beat writer in the bay area)
Crabtree should have a terrific year since he is a pending free agent. Niners may have no choice but to sign him now.
Tight end
Davis is 30
McDonald still drops too many balls.
Running Back:
Gore is at that age where he might really start to fall off
Hyde- seems like he is a stud but haven't seen enough. He had better stay healthy.
Lattimore is still recovering.
Quarterback-
Defense
Lost their starting nose tackle, strong safety (Whitner), All Pro Linebacker and their D end cant be relied upon.
Carradine still doesn't understand his assignments (No excuse for that)
Secondary is raw.
Their time has come and gone. They can live in denial all they want but you only get so many chances to win it all and they didn't. :49ersmall: :49ersmall: :49ersmall: :49ersmall: :49ersmall: :49ersmall:
Rams will finish 2nd.
wow....talk about wishful thinking....
Boldin is older...and just had one of the best seasons of his career.
Cohn on Johnson....really? The surest way to lower your IQ is to pay attention to Grant Cohn (tho his dad Lowell is a close second).
Crab looked real good before the hammy.
Davis is 30. So? Still as good as ever.
McDonald drops too many pases? According to who? Looked pretty good in limited action vs the Ravens.
Gore: People keep predicting his demise.
Hyde: looks pretty damn good so far
Lattimore still on NFI, but James is coming back and will likely be the #3 RB.
Starting Nose Tackle was actually the backup last year. The guy he replaced (Ian Williams) was just activated yesterday. I've said many, many times on this site that I was never a big fan of Donte Whitner. We'll have to see how Bethea fills in there. True tho that they'll have to get by without Bowman and Aldon for a while tho...although Aldon has been an absolute monster in camp...even drawing praise from JOHN Harbaugh in scrimmages with the Ravens. Niners also played a few games without Aldon and Willis last year...and were 5-0 (Willis only missed 2 of those tho).
Carradine is still learning. LOL...too early.....Fangio has already said that it's to be expected. He played well vs the Ravens and had a sack. This is effectively his rookie year and he was one of the few Highlights vs the Ravens. Quinton Dial was pretty damn impressive as well.
Secondary not as raw as you think. Culliver and Brock have had a lot of playing time when starters were injured. Culliver was probably their best corner in 2012 and Brock was their best corner in 2013. Thts kinda why they didn't resign the other guys. Reid started all year last year.
Ward is green. On that I can agree. He'll likely be the nickel.
Bottom line, are there question marks that need answers? Sure there are. On every team.
"There time has come and gone"? LOL. You only wish it were true.
