Chances the 49ers are done?
 

I believe Kaepernick is going to want paid, so they're going to have to let a lot of talent walk.

Are they done? What say you?

Jim harbaugh

Wut

I don't think so. Hate Harbaugh all you want but that team is extremely well coached.

Bowman might miss a good chunk of next season though and some players will have to walk for sure. Also, Frank Gore has been a rock for them since, what, 04 or 05? He's, hands down, the most underrated RB of the last 10 years but he's been in the league and took a pounding for a while. We may begin to see a decline in his play very soon.

Bowman probably won't be healthy for a bit. That will hurt. Iupati broke his ankle, that will hurt them if he can't come back healthy.

Their coach is amazing.


Until he has an aneurysm they will always be a contender.

I haven't looked at their roster or what they've got due. All I know is if Kaepernick gets fat paid, some dudes are going to walk.

How long has Frank Gore been playing? I'd be worried about him losing a step soon but other than that I think they will still be competing at high level. They get our 2nd round pick again this year so they still can set themselves up for a long time.

Harbaugh > Reid.

Not even debatable.

Lattimore should be healthy by TC.

Heh. Alex Smith threw 7 picks this season. Kaepernick turned the ball over 3 times int he playoff game, not to mention choking the game away.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens with Kaepernick. He really wasn't good in the playoffs at all, and that team's defense covers up a lot of his warts.

If he doesn't improve as a passer they might fall back to the middle of the pack.

The 9er defense has played at an absolute elite level for 3 years. Thats really hard to continue.

Harbaugh has been winning because of a dominant run game and top 3 defense. Justin Smith's age is going to catch up to him sooner or later, Whitner will be gone, Rogers will be gone, Ray Mac is already slowing down, Gore is slowing down, Boldin will likely be gone as well, etc. Kaepernick is clearly not a QB who can be relied on to carry the team and win and if the 49ers are dumb enough to sink some major money into him, then they are done, lol.
