I dont think you understand what I wrote so you keep asking same question. I dont believe in 'needing a qb to win', period. do you believe in 'needing a free safety to win' ? probably not. thats me and qbs.
you dont need to have a 'good' to 'great' qb to win football games. do you think you'll lose a game if a corner back you drafted in a 5th round starts that game ? probably not. same for me if a qb drafted in the 5th round starts the game.
qb is just another position, glorified so much by the media it's retarded.
to answer your question, especially in this division, which has nearly always for last ~5 years been driven by great defenses. thats one thing that the Niners lack right now. defense. defense will be the main reason why we wont be able to compete. if we had a 2011-esque defense, I wouldnt be worried about shyt.
