Not to mention it's way too early to write Hankerson off. He's 11th in ypg among sophomore receivers. Which, although not astounding, when you consider our logjam at wr the only other sophomore who has near the competition for reps that he does is Randall Cobb. He could be the best receiver we've drafted in decades.

Hankerson along with Crawford, Gomes, Robinson, and LeRibeus were the guys I'm waiting on. They haven't been consistent enough, some barely play as rookies, but I'm waiting on them to see if they fit with the guys I mentioned that I think are the core of this team

It's Coaching- Under Harbaugh this same personnel would be undefeated

I feel we hung in there til the end to a degree...someone else said it earlier...we didn't roll over...if not for the injury I think we would have pulled the upset..the FG kicker needs to go..didn't like signing him in the first place...Cousins showed us why he's a back up ...but had a nice TD pass to help the cause...play calling was questionable...where was the pass rush? I guess we sacrificed that in order to cover Jones, White and Gonzales...Love Kerrigan...he plays lights out every game...all in all..I wasn't too disappointed...we didn't get blown out...defense played just enough to keep us in the game...and were just worn out in the end....

we as fans have learned to accept mediocrity from a once great franchise. Im sick of losing!!!

Ya know, there is a part of me that wonders if this is true. I'd throw in something about IF we had a good defensive coordinator too. Shoulda grabbed Philips when he was available.

:ols: Harbaugh wouldnt be better than 2-3 here. The 9ers are loaded with talent especially on D.

Talent wins. We lack it, badly.

that's a sorely unknown point..

The 49ers have drafted better than anyone by far over the last 6 seasons. That's how you build a championship team. Harbaugh just inherited a team that had phenomenal drafts for 5 years straight.

We are drafting talent, but it takes time. Plus Shanny was handcuffed year 1 with hardly any picks cause Vinny traded them all away.

We're also now losing out on a couple 1's cause we needed a QB.

It's honestly taking 3-4 years just to erase the shadow of Vinny from this team.

We give them **** when they don't run a balanced offense. We give them **** when they do run a balanced offense.

My response to that would be to ask...

why were we 24 pass / 21 run against a team that ranked 29th against the run and 9th against the pass??

We should have been 26 runs / 19 pass

Morris was ripping off 10 yard+ runs.. so they creep the defense forward.. Kyle automatically always thinks deep post when the D creeps forward...

How about a draw or a screen? When was the last time you saw us run a draw?

Cousins was thrown in middle of the game and did as best he could for a rookie seeing his first live regular season action. (He did give us a chance of winning by taking the lead with the Moss TD) The selection of Cousins in the 4th round will bring this team much more value in the long run then some secondary 4th rounder.
