They still have their OL, which is one of the most consistently dominant units in the league. Iupati may be leaving them soon though, no way they shell out the $50 mil that it's going to take to keep him. They still have one of the best receiving cores in the league, but that doesn't matter much because they don't have a QB who can take advantage of that. The defense is still a top 5 unit as long as Justin Smith, Aldon Smith, Willis, and Bowman are around.

I think Justin Smith is on his way out...

Good point, but you have to keep something in mind for each of the last few guys you mentioned. With Justin Smith you have an age issue, how much longer does he have? I think you will see a drop off with him. Then you have Aldon Smith who is a head case, can he stay out of trouble? Finally you have to worry if Bowman can bounce back from that nasty injury or not. I think they're an organization on the decline imo but I could be wrong. Time will tell.
