Granted... elevating the Niners to contender status in one year is pushing the boundaries.. and yet..
isn't this pretty much exactly what we say we'd wish the media would do? IOW.. be bold, don't just repeat and regurgitate the status quo?
I think this whole thing is pretty obvious. Rams and SF are the 2 teams in the division that "changed the guard" and brought in very well regarded young head coaches.
The difference is this.
Shanahan basically inherited nothing. He's starting over from scratch.
McVay inherited A LOT. He had to remodel the OL and add receivers, plus a tweak or 2, but that's it.
BUT both coaches look like they are going to be strong for a long time. McVay has already proven that. Shanahan just needs a team. Meanwhile both Arz and Seattle look like they are eroding.
