thewildrabbit Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 Some believe if they complain about the team, stop buying merchandise (or buy it from China), or stop buying tickets that the team will move. And that is the paradox they are caught in. To them it is better to have a perpetually ****ty team than no team at all. So they bend over and "Billieve" that next year is the year it turns around. After reading thru some of the other threads in this forum I'm starting to think you may have a valid point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Look back at the recent history of the 49ers: 2005 4-12 HC Mike Nolan 2006 7-9 HC Mike Nolan 2007 5-11 HC Mike Nolan 2008 7-9 HC Mike Singletary 2009 8-8 HC Mike Singletary 2010 6-10 HC Mike Singletary 5-10 interim HC Jim Tomsula 1-0 Mediocre right? Middle of the pack to low end drafting right? About the same as the Buffalo Bills 7-9, 7-9. 7-9, 6-10, 4-12, right? Look what a new head coach hire can do to a team, with NO OFF SEASON to speak of....One new HCing coaching hire in Jim Harbough and the team is not only in the playoffs but could be fighting for home field thru out.....amazing! A top 5 defense that hasn't allowed a rushing TD this year! With Donte Whitner starting ! A refurbished failure of a QB who has basically stunk it up his entire career until he plays for a HC that knows how to set up the offense to help him. Is Alex Smith suddenly an "elite" QB? Oh, but the team is winning, and is 11-3 under a new HC? He must be a an "elite" " Franchise" QB because a team can't win without one... I don't understand this fan base, half the fans here think Gailey is doing good at 5-9. Half the fans here think Buddy Nix is doing a good job. Most of the fans are still blaming Jauron / Levy for lack of talent, and still state its lack of player talent that is responsible for all the losses What a crock of horse-crap, its the lack of talent in coaching that has ruined this franchise over the last decade,and continues to ruin it, pure and simple. You're right! It is clear that injuries and poor drafting and personnel moves for 10 years had nothing to do with it. Yep. Some people will go to stupid lengths to prove a point I guess. Excellent crusade you are on. Why don't you start a few more posts about the same thing? Team needs to draft better. If they could put together 4 drafts where they found 12+ quality starters and acquired several free agent acquisitions to boost the roster they would be fine. Coaching is obviously huge but you need the talent to have any coach fulfill their potential. Gailey will get one more season but Nix needs to stack this roster by having an impact draft class and bringing in some free agents that make an impact. Ssshhh. He's enjoying his crusade. Enough with the common sense, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 They have drafted well for a number of years. Guys like Crabtree and Willis and frank Gore is a top back in this league. Joe Staley at T and a couple good LBS. The only thing they really lacked was a decent safety and they signed 3 of them in the offseason. Alex Smith was a number one pick. Sure he hasn't been lighting up the league but that was hardly due to lack of ability. A solid offensive line and a good running game can hide a lot of problems Their d-line is kicking keister statistically. Their DE's are 1-2 in sacks and TFL.

Enough with the common sense, please! Ahhh, so you are blaming Tom Donahoe AND Marv Levy / Dick Jauron for Chan Gaileys 9-21 record? Never mind the fact that a complete buffoon like Dick Jauron managed 7-9, 3 years in a row with basically the same personnel. Never mind the fact that Nix-Gailey has had two years to bring in the players needed,. Never mind the fact that Gailey chose a "waterbug" RB over an O lineman or OLB but OK, keep defending Gailey. After all, Gailey was handed a mediocre team and turned them into a really bad team in only 2 years...speaking of stupid!
