Schedule is tough but I don't think Kaepernick benefited much from Harbaugh last season. Harbaugh didn't want Kaep running in the regular season. Took away his best asset to keep him healthy, which I understand. San Fran had no backup last year. Had to keep Kaep healthy. The thing is, Kaep is at his best when he's moving around. The offensive line gave Kaep no time at all to throw because of all the OL injuries. Basically Kaep from last year was a guy forced to make quick throws without threatening the defense with his legs. Really limited what he's capable of. I'm not saying it was the wrong move from Harbaugh considering an injury to Kaep would be the end of the season, but at the same time it took setting Colin up in the worst possible situation to keep him upright. I think he'll bounce back nicely this year if the offensive line isn't a mess again.I know SF was somewhat decimated with the absence of personnel. I'm pretty certain SF is going straight to Suckville. Kaep is not a good QB. He benefited from Harbaugh. Without him, Kaep is going to be like a fighter plane nosediving to earth.
And the coach they brought in is an absolute joke.
They will get pounded by Seattle and Arizona (if Arizona holds up). Then a split with the Rams. You're looking at 1-5 in the division. With 5 non-division road games, you've got them at 2-3 in the best-case scenario. Then their 5 home games are ATL, BAL, CIN, GB, MIN. At an absolute best, they go 3-2 out of that.
So you're looking at: Division: 1-5. Home: 3-2. Away: 2-3
This makes: 6-10 record.
Pound the fuck out of the under.
