San Francisco 49ers Hot Start
The San Francisco 49ers are a young team with lots of upside. Head coach Mike Singletary and his “I want winners” mentality seems to be working.
The 49ers gave the Minnesota Vikings all they could take – it took a Favre miracle pass for the Vikings to win. RB Frank Gore has the potential for another 1,600 yard season and QB Shaun Hill is getting better by the game.
The 49ers are in the same division as the Arizona Cardinals – the reigning NFC West champs. The Cardinals haven’t played like Super Bowl NFC representatives as of yet.
The 49ers have a good chance to win the NFC West because they are so well coached and overall – the NFC West is rather weak. Whether it’s a weak division or not, the 49ers should compete for the division crown which will get them in the playoffs.
QB Shaun Hill won’t dazzle you with eye popping statistics but he won’t make many mistakes either. Hill is completing over 60% of his throws and has a good QB rating.
RB Frank Gore is one of the best running backs in the NFL. Gores’ best season was in 06′ when Gore started every game, ran for over 1.600 yards and scored 8 touchdowns.
Coach Singletary was a great defensive player in his day for the Chicago Bears or “Monsters of the Midway”. If he can instill the knowledge to his defense and create and terrifying defense that resembles the great Chicago Bears defenses of the’80s – the 49ers will be a contender for years.
For this to happen, additional playmakers on the offense might be needed, but what team in the NFL can’t use more offensive weapons? At least they have Crabtree in the works. He can be the big time player they need out wide.
