#24 The San Francsico 49ers

www.WeAreTheHecklers.com


The San Francisco 49ers have not seen extreme amounts of glory in quite some time. After Joe Montana, Steve Young and Jerry Rice, they haven't had very much star power. Vernon Davis was going to be great, and maybe some humility was what he needed, however the QB options out west are incredibly limited. Alex Smith never seemed to work out. Head coach Mike Singletary has not yet announced who his starting QB will be, and he has no reason to feel the need to.

Unfortunately for the 49ers, the spotlight has been the fiasco with Michael Crabtree. Their team plays a very moderate schedule - opening with the defending NFC champs.

In terms of winnable games, they face Seattle week two, and host the Rams week 4. Simply because the game is right after the bye, they should take care of the Texans, but that is no lock. Fortunately, the 49ers play the Seahawks one more time, and of course, the Lions and Rams again.

In a weak division, the 49ers should come in second or third, but an overall record of 8-8 is plausible. Tops.
