Owner;
Jed York (98) A+
*
York officially took control of the team in 2009. With 6 consecutive seasons missing the playoffs , Yorks ownership style quickly matched that of his uncle , 49er legend Owner Eddie Debartelo Jr. Addressing the teams main issue which was the Head Coach. He made the change at HC mid season in 2008 when he began his involvement unofficially naming LB assistant, Mike Singletary as interim HC. 2009 Singletary was made new 49ers HC that did seam like the right move at the time. After the 2009 and 2010 seasons it was clear Singletary did not have what it takes to elevate the Niners back amongst the leagues Superbowl Contenders year in year out. 2011 York once again identified the main issue and hired Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh to a 5-year 25 million contract. Immediately the 49ers found themselves in the championship game as the number one seed posting a 13 and 3 record. And the championship game San Francisco lost 17 to 20 in overtime to the New York Giants. 2012 the 49ers advanced to the Super Bowl but lost ultimately to the Baltimore Ravens 31 to 34 then for the third consecutive time in 3 years San Francisco was back in the NFC Championship Game this time on the road in Seattle losing 17 to 23 on a last second interception in The End Zone by Seattle. 2014 San Francisco missed the playoffs with an 8 and 8 record and possibly the biggest collapse in Pro Sports history began in the offseason of 2015. I have to bring in San Francisco back as contenders Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers parted ways along with the coaching staff and that was only the beginning numerous pro bowlers in all Pros starting with Hall of Fame linebacker Patrick Willis a string of early retirements players being suspended indefinitely from the league Etc. Then for the second time said York addressed the issue with the team head coaching. The 2015 season York rolled the dice with Team familiarity with defensive line coach Jim tomsula. San Francisco was 6 and 10 which after the challenge ring going from a top roster in the league to one of the worst York also made the decision to switch head coaches hiring Chip Kelly 2016 proved even worse the roster depleted and the 49ers with the 2 and 14 record did York completely overhauled the front office. Trentalki was out as team GM Kelly was fired and once again to search to find the next great 49er coach was on. After an impressive season in 2016 as the Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator San Francisco hired Kyle Shanahan as head coach and former Hall of Fame player and current Fox analyst John Lynch as GM. After making a move for a franchise quarterback mid-season at the trade deadline with the Patriots for Jimmy Garoppolo swapped for a second round pick the 49ers won five hope it's remaining games. 2018 saw an injury to Garoppolo week 5 and San Francisco puttered out for the second straight season. This time York did not make a change at coach and stuck with Shanahan and Lynch his patience was Vindicated as the 49ers once again made it back to the Super Bowl with the 13 at 3 record against the chiefs. A collapse in the fourth quarter with 6 minutes remaining so a 20 to 10 lead disappear. This led to a Super Bowl loss heading right into covid 2020. 2021-2022-2023 witness San Francisco go to once again three straight championship games to ultimately again lose the Super Bowl to the Chiefs 22:25 in overtime 2025 was a big season again with a playoff win after a bunch of injuries to major parts of the team and this is where we are

Is everybody ready to restart the dynasty this Sunday? This roster is loaded with All Pros and playmakers that the NFL hasn't seen for a long time. The past 2 games are the testament of a battle tested , gritty team who fought every minute to get back to this game and the Red and Gold will not be denied this time around. We anticipate a dominant performance from start to finish so sit back and enjoy this one. We're revising the page and kicking off a whole new experience to kick off the restored 49ers dynasty.

08/12/2023

The only thing that can make the past 4 seasons , 3 Championship game appearances matter is a 2023 Superbowl championship. Then the 3 of 4 was a stepping stone to a dynasty. This team is unreal. All-pro players at possibly half the teams starters , Top position players at HB , FB , LT then you can add a 4rth , TE because Georger Kittle @85 is the best for my money. Defense DE , MLB and Greenlaw could be the best OLB in the game with Huafunga closing in fast that's 2 with a possible 3

Lets take a look at the roster with some of our ratings and projections thrown in there

QB1. #13
(81) A
Brock Purdy

17 Games started (13-4)
4,300 Pass Yards , 32 Pass TD's , 11 IT'S
550 Rush yards , 5 Rush TD's , 8 Fumbles

Purdy should be a 90 rated player at seasons end

QB2. #5
(74) B
Trey Lance

Lance is the week 1 starter in n the preseason which means he has the edge on Darnold or Shanahan wants to showcase him for ATL who was at one point hot for Lance.

Trade Projection***
ATL Gets Trey Lance
SF Gets 2024 3rd round pick , 2025 5th round pick

QB2. #14
(79) B+
Sam Darnold

2023 projections if he started all 17 games
4,400 Pass yards , 35 TD"s , 15 INTs

We love Darnold with this offense and system , his last 6 games with CAR Sam started the last 6 games with interim coach at the time and new 49ers Defensive coordinator Steve Wilkes and was 4-2 posting 7TDs , 3INTs . Darnold is the beat QB2 in the NFL

Just to compete for the 3rd spot , they signed Kyle Allen another solid QB former CAR Panther. With Purdy being the star that we know he is (2022) best QB in the Draft , this is a top 3 QB room.
QB's (90)A+

HB1. #23
(97)A+
Christian McCaffrey
2023 Projected stats;
1300 Rush yards , 13 Rush TD , 0Fumbles , 5.8 per Carry
80 Receptions , 900 receiving yards , 8 rec TD

RunCMC is arguably the best overall back in the NFL, the man's 1rst full game in red and gold he ran for a TD , caught a TD then tripled up and threw a TD against the NFC West rival , reigning Superbowl champion LA Rams

HB2. #25
(88)A
Elijah Mitchell

Mitchell is such a great back when he's healthy and he is almost never available. His rookie year he played in 10 games and rushed for over 980 yards. At times even with McCaffrey, Shanahan sticks with Mitchell because he's gashing the defense 8 yards a pop. Overall we love Eli and he cannot be counted on with such a big responsibility on this team which is not only CMC's spell but a Shanahan offense which thrives with the run game.

That QB3 spot is reportedly in a dead heat between TDP and Jordan Mason. Personally we would go Mason who was labeled Beastmode 2.0 and cosigned by people after a mini beast quake in SEA to seal a big game.

HB3. #24
(77)A
Jordan Mason

Mason can easily be a 1000 yard rusher and feature in any system , he looks that good

HB3. 32
(77)B
Tyrion Davis-Price

TDP was a high draft pick only 2 years ago and has looked excellent this past camp

We will pick up with FB through O-Line next post , Later,

08/08/2021

Follow the new page , 49erzone

05/22/2021

Finish the off season strong with a trade for Julio Jones . 3mil for the cap room post trade and the draft choice asking price is low enough , a 2nd and conditional gets it done. With Jones not only is Shanahans greatest weapon to date in his carears arsenol , Julio Jones as a decoy! All Pro potentiol this year ... Kittle and Jones will be unstoppable . Sell out for a ring

Rookie Season projections
HB Ohio State , #28 Trey Sermon(R)

Player Production Comparison: DEN97,98 Terell Davis

1550 Yards , 4.2 avg , 15TDs
OROY

Trey Sermon will and should start out of the gate. He could get a cool 1200 + Rush yards Double Digit TDs , My Darkhorse...
05/20/2021

Trey Sermon will and should start out of the gate. He could get a cool 1200 + Rush yards Double Digit TDs , My Darkhorse OROY pick. Mostert and Wilson Jr. splitting the spell carries with the Rookie Mitchell in passing down situatiions 5 Total Tds
