I'd be so happy for this fan base. But let's be honest.
And I'm not trying to be a dick here:
He's not surrounded by pro-bowlers everywhere he looks like he was in SF.
It's going to be an uphill battle. You've got a complimentary Qb with nobody to compliment.

And, I will tell you like I told everyone here. Before the 2011 season started. There was ONE pro bowler on the 49ers roster. That was Patrick Willis. It is AMAZING what coaching can do for a team don't you think?

I think this is all about Andy Reid. IMO.
I don't know where his head's at. It didn't seem to me like he took enough time to be with his family.
It was crazy to me that he took the job THAT QUICKLY in a year in which he lost his son.
Part of me thinks he just wants to keep going. I can understand that.
I just hope he's taken the time to grieve. Because if not, if he's doing this because he just doesn't want to think about it and he wants to distract himself, this will be a disaster.
I'm not saying he doesn't legitimately think he can fix the chiefs.
I just hope he's in a good place mentally and emotionally, because this isn't going to be easy.

Getting out, and getting away from Philly, was the best thing he could do for himself. But, getting out of football, and doing what? He is a life long coach. Hes exactly like Joe Pa. Joe Pa was forced out, and he died within months. He just needed a change of scenery, he didn't like the way the front office was being done in philly.

Defensive line is very iffy, some questionable pieces in the secondary. Berry and Flowers are good, then we're not really sure what we have.
LB corps is amazing.

Wow. Lets see.
Goes back in time to this time in 2011.
Well, we have Patrick Willis, we are replacing a very good lb in Takeo Spikes with an unknown in Navarro Bowman. We just gave a huge contract to Ray McDonald, we know we have Justin smith, but Isaac Soap, and Ray McDonald have never proven themselves, nor been starters. Ahmad Brooks was also made a starter for the first time, and we had Parys Harelson, who nobody in SF liked, starting over the 7th pick in the draft in some unknown chump named Aldon Smith.
In our secondary, we cut Nate Clements, and replaced him with Carlos Rogers, for 1 year, and 3 million dollars. We Kicked out Michael Lewis, and Taylor Mays, and brought in another guy who even the Buffalo Bills didn't want in Donte Whitner. We had Dashon Goldson, who had his worst season as a pro in 2010, and Tarrell Brown, who everyone hated. Shawntae Spencer, was benched, and he was projected to start.
That, is your DEFENSE THAT YOU CANT STOP SUCKING THE DICK OF, AND THAT IS HOW 49ER FANS VIEWED IT AT THE TIME.
And notice this. I didn't even mention, ANYTHING about the coaching. No one knew anything about Vic Fangio, and how he was going to be. Didn't know a damn thing about him. All we knew is that we won a bidding war with the Miami Dolphins for a COLLEGE HEAD COACH, whose first impression, was to keep public enemy number one as his QB in Alex Smith.
That's what you knew about the 49ers going into 2011.
How does it relate? Its the same ****ing story with this Chiefs team.
