Are the San Francisco 49ers overrated?

I'l say their pass rush is no joke.  They are deep at RB and George Kittle is one of the best athletes at the TE position and a BIG play machine.  We're going to have to score some points against them, like 30+ because they can score on us in an instant.  Our D is going to have just as tough of a job as our OL.

They are beatable, but who really knows how "good" they really are.  I HOPE that Ron and Co actually come out of a bye ready to go.  Would be a pleasant change!

They are a good team, and they are undefeated so you have to give them credit

 

 

 

But they are a little overrated

Their opponents have a combined record of 9-21

Their 3 road games have been Tampa week 1, Rams (same place Tampa put up 50+ points), Cincinnati 

 

Theyve had some big key injuries the last few weeks that will be out.

Both OTs are out, the probowl FB out

Also probowl TE Kittle has missed practice this week with a Groin (Same thing that has held Donte Jackson the last few weeks)

The NFC as a whole seems to lack a juggernaut. Every team that's in the mix seems mortal. Look at last week: Seattle was down most of the week against the Browns before coming back in the final minutes and have squeaked out wins against mediocre competition all year (including Cincy and a mostly Roethlisberger-less Pitt). Green Bay was just gifted another win at home against Detroit and their offense has seemed pedestrian even with Rodgers. New Orleans seems to be a consensus top 2 team but that offense isn't scaring you with Bridgewater, flanking their TB win with 2 wins scoring a combined 25 points against average defenses. If Brees comes back 100%, that team will be scary though.

At least with San Francisco, they have handily beaten every team on their schedule, including demolishing the Browns and Rams, 2 teams with high expectations and a lot of talent, the past 2 weeks. Their only close win was against Pittsburgh where they were -3 in turnover differential and had 5 turnovers in all, 3 of them in the redzone.

I wouldn't say San Francisco is overrated unless you consider them to be an unstoppable force, which I don't think is a prevailing opinion. They are appropriately viewed as a surprising elite team that can be beaten on any given week, hopefully starting with week 8.

      As fans have we unanimously concluded that Bryce Young IS THE PROBLEM

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      The last thing I want to do is read what the average fan thinks.  Most can't think past the last game they watched. Now we have people trying to say we were really pretty good last year and the whole problem was just Bryce.  The coaching staff, playcalling, play of the rest of the team was not good.  Giving up on a high draft pick after nearly killing him with 9 different starter at guard, horrible play calling and a below average run game is not a recipe for a rookie QB.  I'm not blind.  His play the first two weeks of this season was awful and 100% is not good enough to play QB in the NFL, starter or backup.  If this is who he is and there is no hope for improvement then he'll be out of the league soon enough.  Go watch the All 22 film.  There is a lot of horrible plays but there are also a lot of good one.  NFL level ability, throws and runs.  More than enough examples of good plays to say if he can play like that consistently then he can be an NFL starting QB. It's very easy to see the biggest problem now is his confidence which has caused him to regress even more and make his good traits average or worse and his bad traits look like they can't be fixed. We know he's a young kid. We know last year the panthers did a horrible job putting in a position to be successful. We know that our new head coach excels at helping and training QBs. We know we've already paid a good deal of his contract. We know he's very willing to learn and has a good attitude despite his situation. We know he has the raw ability to play at this level because he has already done it. There are a great number of reasons not to throw the kid out on his butt just yet. We are at the bottom of the league.  We don't have the pleasure of throwing any potential away. Worse case we miss out on a 4th or 5th round pick.  Best case, Canales is the real deal and he turns Bryce into the player he was in college but at the NFL level.
