Harbaugh's style was a great fit for the team he took over. The O-Line talent was already in place and shouldn't be crowned a god yet. The was the heart of the offense + Gore.
2011 was a perfect storm of everything going right. Schedule, injuries, special teams, crazy comebacks.
Luck crashed and burned in NFC champ game. INTs bouncing off defense, Kyle Williams. The fumble that was but refs blew it.
2012
Ponder was allowed to walk all over the defense.
Smith had his worst home performance in years.
Only 2 loses in the first 8 games.
Smith is dinged and is made 2nd string despite a 100 rating.
Kaepernick was lightning in a bottle + played a string of crap QBs and got lucky
Brees throws 2 pick-sixes
Brady and NE turn the ball over 4 times
Playoffs we remember Kaepernick started with a terrible pick-six. GB muffed a punt. Played some of the worst defense ever seen.
ATL choked away a win.
Super Bowl was too many FGs and the last 4 plays was young QB failing.
2013
Gameplan for week 1 was perfect. The #1 reads were running wipe open and Boldin was making great grabs all over.
Kepernick was too often crap. A few nice games.
What was supposed to be a scary schedule was mediocre.
Houston
Washington
Atlanta
Combined for 35 Wins in 2012. They were all crap teams this season.
And now his 1 big imprint on the team. Kaepernick is running great but Quarterbacking like barf.
Near the bottom in completion % while not in the top 10 in drops and today aside Boldin himself has boosted that low % by himself with about a dozen circus catches this season.
2011 was a freebie.
But 12 and 13 were possibly squandered due to a young and inexperienced QB playing like one.
