I like not being christened paper champs.  We addressed all of our needs this offseason in one way or another and have the parts in place to make a run. 

 

I swear if AZ didn't grab Humphries and we drafted him, these networks would be saying we're a top contender lol.

Seriously, our offseason aside, the 49ers have had one of the worst off seasons of all time.

But yeah it's clear the Panthers have upgraded their roster so I don't know how that can be viewed as a negative. Well, I do know how and it's called lazy journalism.

it's hard to take any list seriously if They rank anyone other then the 49ers as the worst off season in the NFL this year.

It's the 49ers and it's not even close

I like to judge how well our offseason was at the end of the season, after the playoffs. A player may not look like a smart signing now but come playoffs the player may be the steal of the offseason while big name players end up being bust or overpaid.

Last offseason we lost half our O-line and the entire secondary and WR group and still won the NFC south.  This year we lost one below average tackle and an ok, but old and injured running back.  Last year was 1000000 times worse than this year. 

 

One of the worse things you can do as a team is have a high constant turnover rate.  Remember that Eagles "dream team" ? They did not even make the playoffs.  If you have a good group of players that work together well, especially a good young group, the best thing you can do is keep them together as long as you can.  Green Bay has been doing it for years.  Have they signed anyone since Reggie White got there?  They keep adding guys in the draft and re-signing guys they know can play in their system.  That's one of the reasons I think Chip Kelly will fall flat on his face this year. 

 

Writers are just like fans in the offseason.  After the draft and before training camp they got to find something to do.  So this was his something.

I tried to find this article on SI and couldn't. Anyone got a link?

It's in the most recent printed magazine. Search for the most recent SI edition online and you should be able to find it. Authors last name is Baskin.

      You've got to constantly invest in the OL. The mantra pay tackles, draft guards/centers is true for a reason. Every 2 years we should be investing a round 2 or 3 pick in a starting guard unless we hit an all pro guy. Center, I lean more towards keeping the franchise guy than rotating him out as long as the price tag come contract time isn't insane. At least one day 3 pick needs to go to a guard or tackle every year churning the backup positions. Almost 18% of our team is OL. Investing at least 1 pick a year is just good business. That roster area needs to constantly be churning to try and keep low cost, highest possible quality talent.

      If you have watched Stroud the past couple of seasons, I think his confidence well has been leaking for some time now. If you look at his overall production it has decline year on year and he just doesn't look comfortable very often. Some of that is loss of OL but it's not like he is getting David Carr'ed. This is the lowest sack rate he has had in his NFL career. It's hard to explain the absolute meltdown he had coming into the postseason. I haven't really seen anything like that other than Jake's one game meltdown and Carson Palmer's wild 2015 two game meltdown(6 TO's against us alone). Both of those QB's didn't last long as NFL starters after that. Not sure what will happen with CJ but I do genuinely question if he is mentally shot. Young's mechanics are unfixable because he(and his team/QB trainer) don't agree with anyone else on his footwork issues. They believe he is doing what will be successful for him.

      Yes I do remember that. And people say the playbook is not limited.
