The San Francisco 49ers have had a terrible, disheartening football season. Ironically, the quarterback they should have drafted, Aaron Rogers decimated the 49ers this week and pretty much ended their season. Many analysts and fans believed this team had the NFC West wrapped up before the season started. They were clearly wrong. Mike Singletary is simply not a football coach. He can motivate people; that is it. He has no knowledge of the game anymore. It is not the 80's anymore and it is a passing league. The Colts and Saints were the super bowl teams last year and they both had quarterbacks who excelled at throwing the ball down field accurately and strongly. The 49ers have a good core with Michael Crabtree, Vernon Davis and Frank Gore. Their offensive line is decent and they have good upside with Mike Iupati and Anthony Davis.
The franchise can be turned around but two things need to happen: an offensive minded coach and a quarterback that has a strong arm and can command a team. At this point, Alex Smith means nothing to this team. You can still say he never got a chance, but even with his chance it isn't going to matter. He just is not a quarterback. Troy Smith is a career backup. He holds the ball too long in the pocket and is too reliant on scrambling and throwing outside the pocket. Draft a pro style quarterback and hire an offensive coach and hopefully this franchise can return to where it used to be.
