San Francisco 49ers: 10 Bold Offseason Predictions for the Niners

December 22, 2010   ·   Dan Mori   ·   Jump to comments

The San Francisco 49ers have a lot of work to do in order to bring this franchise back to being a legitimate playoff contender.  Trying to sneak in with a losing record is not a legitimate playoff contender, so no matter what happens the rest of this season, it's time to take a look at what the 49ers must do this off season.
The bottom line for the 49ers is they have over rated their talent level and the coaching has not gotten anywhere near the best out of the talent the team does have.  In addition, at this point in the season, I would have hoped to see a lot more progress from the rookie crop the 49ers drafted in 2010.  Part of this may be poor coaching and part of it may be bad talent evaluation.
This will be a critical off season for the 49ers, as they must make some important decisions on the direction of this franchise.  Read on for my ten key moves the Niners must make prior to the 2011 season.
