Barring catastrophic injury, this team's floor is eight wins with a ceiling of eleven.

They're loaded defensively, they have an accurate WCO QB, the league's best running back, a solid if not spectacular offensive line, weapons at TE, a true franchise WR and so on. They have the best coaching staff since 1993, IMO.
I don't think they'll click on all cylinders from Day One but by Week Eight, barring catastrophic injuries, this team should be in sync and rolling.

The only position group that we can say with near certainty is loaded is the LB corps.
The D-Line is nothing but question marks and potential, and the 2nd corner and free safety are questionable at best.
On offense, the only positins that we clrearly have answers are Charles at RB, Bowe at WR, and Albert at LT.
The rest of the offense, including Eric Fisher at RT, are, like the D-line, question marks and potential.
The biggest question ark of all is whether Reid is going to ask more of Alex Smith than Harbaugh, and if so, how he will handle the added responsibility.
This team has the potential to win 10 or more games, but it also has the potential to lose 10 or more games.
I tend to believe that it will be a 5 win team, because I have little faith in Smith, and have always believed that Reid is overrated.
