if we dont go through Erickson, Nolan and Singletary, we don't go through Harbaugh.
its simple as that. Mooch was running low on Seiferts baggage and that team was about to retool anyway after TO left, Garcia released, Hearst retired, Bryant Young and the dominant oline
that team was talentless in 04 and the vast majority of assets it picked up because it had to go through dark years. foundation isnt built overnight. Erickson sucked but to be fair, team with a bit of talent was mediocre in 03, and in 04 without talent it imploded
each stage past Erickson was a rebuilding phase. we whiffed on a qb badly but we got our RB and we built a 3-4 defense under Nolan we're still enjoying to this day.
Singletary sucked, but he instilled toughness in this team, pulled VDs head out of his ass and we got a dominant oline for near 3 years.
we've gotten the biggest talent pool since Seifert this year, and all we finna manage is likely a 8-8 record, same as with mike singletary few years back.
the way I see it, there is very little to no chance of repeating the dark years, simply because too much talent. this offense is already at its lowest point.
THIS OFFENSE IS AVERAGING LESS POINTS PER GAME THAN IT DID WITH JIMMY RAYE/MIKE SINGLETARY IN 2010
caps for emphasis because its really that bad.
