I mean, how exactly do they have the 3rd or 4th best roster in the division? I think you've let one historically bad season of injuries get in your head there.
49ers are good at....
RB: DEEP room. So much so that they lost Coleman and McKinnon and they are still gonna have to cut someone who can play.
WR: Really good With Deebo and Aiyuk. 3rd WR is a question but Jalen Hurd might FINALLY make a splash and Ritchie James looked good in flashes last year.
TE: George. Was sad to see Reed retire. Never really got to see he and George together. They could use another TE tho. Dwelley is just OK.
O-Line: Major area of injury concern last year. Resigned Williams, Signed Alex Mack (Center was huge problem all year), and drafted a few guys to compete at RG. You guys are no stranger to O-Line issues, but I'd submit SF is better there.
D-Line: Getting Bosa back. Might get Dee Ford back. Kinlaw in year 2. Armstead. They are actually sneaky deep here after getting several guys back. Someone will say Seattle signed their leading sacker last year. I'd say there was a reason SF didn't offer that much and I highly doubt he'll repeat that performance.
LB: Warner. Greenlaw. I also like their depth there with Azeez. Niners picked up a few UDFA here.
DB: Ward still there. resigned Tartt. Resigned Moseley who took Witherspoons spot. Resigned K'waun Williams. Verrett had a great year, but yes...injury history is a concern. That's why they addressed the position in the draft. Book also might not have been written yet on Sherman...we'll see.
QB: Of course, this is the big one. I actually agree that Jimmy right now is the 4th best QB in the division. Despite that, with mostly this roster, they went to the SB with him. Now, if Jimmy gets hurt, instead of the season being over, they'll have Trey Lance.
So...just for a sec....what do you think would have happened to Seattle, Arizona, or LA in they'd lost their QB for most of the season in 2 of the last three years? I mean really. How would you react to someone who keeps pointing out that the Seahawks were only good for one year out of those 3 and its the one year Wilson played. Wouldn't that sound crazy?

This is the the biggest load of horse XXXX I've ever heard! In 2019 Seattle reported 45 players with injuries and SF reported 45. In 2020 Seattle reported 47 players with injuries and SF jumped to 66! This includes COVID, Q, D, IR
...and none were their starting QB.
