1984: QB, OL, DB
1989: QB, WR, DB
1994: QB, WR, RB, TE, DL, DB
The 2022 team has proven Pro Bowl talent at: OL, WR, TE, DL, LB, DB.
It's probably the most talented roster a first time starting QB in his second year has ever started on. The Defense will be one of the top units in the NFL, which will make it easier for Lance to "live to fight another day" rather than force throws that aren't there. If he just runs the offense, limits mistakes, and makes a few plays when the called play breaks down, the Niners should win 10+ games.
Thoughts?
It's possible Outsider. Biggest issue is OL. there are several of immense proportions issues there.
I saw that last year's 2nd round selection Aaron Banks and this year's 4th round selection Spencer Burford have taken all the first team snaps at LG and RG respectively. They're going for broke with two very young OL's, sandwiched by two experienced tackles. At C, we don't know if it's going to be Daniel Brunskill or Jake Brendel.
