The Center you are a little tough on. Goodwin was signed for his experience but he is still OK physically. Just looks much worse next to Iupati.
2011 Power Rankings
26. 49ers
Braylon Edwards was probably supposed to be the WR in the role Moss played. Outside guy.
Crabtree's foot was a problem again and was unable to practice.
Josh Morgan had shown himself at least a competent WR.
Braylon got hurt in week 2. Out a month. Was in a few games after that and then was cut for performance or whatever issues with the team.
Josh Morgan broke his leg in week 5.
Crabtree you hoped would emerge in his 3rd year.
He was still up and down in 2011. Forced into the #1 WR role while he is not that prototypical guy didn't help and to be kind he comes across as not the smartest guy so probably not quick to pick up the offense.
Vernon Davis quiet year is more on both him and the coaches. Vernon never developed into a natural TE but even still what he can do in the passing game wasn't implemented enough.
A team with that level of question with the pass targets is gonna have issues no matter the QB.
And Frank Gore is a great back but he is a grinder.
He is not like Jamaal Charles or McCoy or AP who can cut the throat of a defense or flat out dominate.
Look at the final power rankings in 2011. GreenBay and New Orleans were still the top 2 NFC teams.

Overstated.
Interesting you bring up Crabtree. Funny how he "emerged" once he got a new QB. He also "emerged" with Troy Smith a lesser QB. I hope for your sake that Smith plays well because if he doesn't...the excuses will be magical.
You put down everyone around Smith but then refuse to view him with the same critical eye.
