LOL the whiners just paid Purdy $53M a year

IMHO, the number one reason that the Niners had such an atrocious last year, was the ungodly number of injuries to key players.

I know, every team deals with injuries, but the volume of weeks simultaneously missed by multiple key players, at key parts of the season, really made it impossible for the team to play to their potential.

I know people here are going to dog on this as an excuse, but it has to be taken into consideration, especially when considering what the future might look like.

The question is, was it all wear and tear that has been repaired in one extended off season, or is it wear and tear that is irreparable, and will impact the current Niners in perpetuity.

This year, with the favorable schedule, and the extended off season, should answer that question

They had a big talent advantage in the NFC West in prior years. That's no longer the case. They do have the league's easiest schedule, though.

Don't underestimate how bad special teams were. The niners were #32 DVOA in that stat. I think it was like 20/33 field goals. Timely bad punt returns. 3 of the losses were directly attributable to this. But Moody had a mid season high ankle sprain so in a way the bad kicking was probably injury related.

The 49ers are betting favourites to win the NFC West as of June 1st 2025.

Edit: Pinnacle NFC West Odds:
49ers +146
Rams +181
Seahawks +474
Cardinals +479

It's ok, they have a "magic cap"
Shoot, the league will probably award them an extra 30 mil.
