Quote:Precisely.

 

The 49ers are the perfect example of flash in the pan.

2 seasons, and yes, they made it to a Superbowl, but were quickly back to being nothing but bottom feeders in their division just 2-3 seasons later.

 

The idea fed to the fans by this FO is that it will be a slow and painful rebuild.

Which I think we can all agree the past 3 years were slow and mostly painful.

But by the end of it the roster should be in good position with key offense and defense players being just 3rd and 4th year players. If DC keeps it up at this rate, he should be able to sign all the guys we need to, let go of those he 'missed' on, and bring in key FAs with our extra cap.

 

The plan seemingly is going exactly how they planned it.

Except Bradley had to go say "it's built" and people clung to "3 year plan" as if year 3 was our year to go all the way.... just two years removed from being a historically bad NFL franchise.

 

I think even those of us who have defended Dave and Gus throughout the 3 years are at a point where it is put up or shut up time.

8 or 9 wins classifies as good enough, though I think many of us should expect better results. As in expect our team to perform as we think they can.

 

This offseason is huge for Dave, and obviously Gus.
