The 49ers have no shot at the NFC West? Question marks, indeed.

Truly, I’ve gotten the idea to write thanks to two comments in my standings predictions post. No offense by them, but the undoubted love that is being given to the San Fransisco 49ers is absurd. I’m positive that Seattle or St. Louis will knock them off this season, as they have done for the past four years. My idea that the Rams would win the NFC West came from this article from another blog (Nikki’s boyfriend Troy’s blog). Just an excerpt from it:

What’s stated is that the 49ers are still really immature and aren’t even half ready to take control of the NFC West division. It’s obvious that they’re still a year away as Alex Smith still needs more time to grow, and he’s without his silver spoon-man in Norv Turner. Quite frankly, paying a cornerback $80 million bucks isn’t worth it neither. I think the Rams improvements were highly more worthwhile than what the 49ers have done this season as the Rams have added guys like Bennett, McMichael, [Dante and James] Hall. And I’m not done. While it may look as if they have only added guys to their offense (albeit I did add James Hall — who is a defensive end.) They have added to their defense with Adam Carriker, Jonathan Wade, and Todd Johnson. (to special teams.) Carriker and Wade may be Rookies, but they are fierce, competitive, and are bound to become good players. The problem I see is rookies being jammed up on the interior of the Rams d-line.

As the off-season goes on, I’ll add more opinions.

One last note, these guys are idiots. I stopped watching when they mentioned that the Rams just had a decent QB.
