I think Ditka < Ditka, personally.

It's funny..since this season began some of u throwing a different person under the bus.

IMO, the incident with Harbaugh and the Lions's coach is way more interesting than this thread.

Yes, unlike the pundints on NFLN, I went out on the limb and gave it to the 49ers.

Talk to me in a couple of years. Several coaches have come into the NFL and won their first year, but relatively few of them managed to keep it going. Several others have come into the league and lost badly their first year, but eventually turned it around.

[necroplasm]

are a more "established" team. How so?

More experience, less injuries...not stuck with someone who's as ghey and athletically inferior as Clausen, having to spend the first pick on a QB that who will be learning a pro offense. Rivera came into a tougher situation. Some people forgetting, Rivera didn't create this mess...poor management, mess that Marty helped create. Which is a GM who has done some good things...and some dumb things.

It's so obvious the OP has never taken a statistics class.

Rivera inherited a truely terrible team. Our offense was last in the league and has become a top offense in one short offseason. Our defense has had injuries and really needs some size.

Harbaugh has done amazingly but he also inherited a team that has been pegged to break out for how many years? They've got a lot more experienced players over there. It is good to see them have success finally instead of being buried in the west. Harbaugh has also been a head coach, not at this level but he has a leg up regardless in terms of how to manage the entire team.

Admittedly I wanted Harbaugh to be hired here but Chud has been spectacular. I'm not sure about our defensive coordinator McDermott because of reservations I had since watching the Eagles play with him calling plays.

I think both should have success.

Over-exaggerating there with the "terrible team" label.

If anything, Rivera inherited a pretty talented one.

It's how you finish, not how you start. Let's see who ends up with more titles at the end of this thing and make some judgements. I still think Hurney should have been fired last year with Fox he's just as much to blame for whats going on with the team as RR.

I would expect more from Rivera because of his background, he's been a coach in the nfl for 15 years and making simple mistakes like time management. And then this team is so fuging undisciplined jumping off sides, false starts, and tackling. Rivera talks the talk, but can't walk the walk.

Harbaugh who came from being a college coach and now in the NFL finds immediate success.

Lol the 49ers have pretty much sucked ass for the better part of ten years but they are a more "established" team.

How so?

I think what he means was that its not a team with a bunch of rookies and stop gap players. Saving money last year for the lock out and trading away all our picks the last few years has sunk us into Lions/Bills territory this year. Oh and no I dont mean this years Lions and Bills.

SF has pretty much sucked for the most part of the last ten years. I believe the Panthers have been a lot better team over that timeline. They've had a great tightend and a good runningback on offense and that's about it. They have a few good players on D (willis is great) and they play well together but i really don't see where they are ahead of Carolina @ anyone spot, maybe DT/NT. And again as someone said, Carolina could have signed rodgers.

I mean come on, they are winning with Alex Smith now...
