I don't think they were elite, but I do think that in addition to poor coaching, there's some truth to the idea that an offense that couldn't convert 3rd downs or otherwise sustain drives contributed to poor defense.

BTW, so did the fact that they lined up with only one decent CB and a questionable group of safeties.

Didn't do a damned thing against actual NFL competition. Seriously, that was the easiest schedule in the HISTORY of the NFL.

I'm not sure how you can ascertain the difference, with the natural and understandable bias we all have regarding Cassel. I just wonder if this is perhaps a 'grass is greener' situation and you're giving more leeway to someone simply because he played not to lose (from my perspective) elsewhere rather than here.

If you put 2010 Cassel on the 2011 and 2012 Niner teams, my guess is he'd have success similar to that of Alex ****ing Smith.

profane adjectives make hypotheticals all the more compelling.

I think the safest way to answer that is that I believe a "team commander" doesn't lose his job due to injury, regardless of how well the 2nd year player running a gimmick offense does in his stead.

He believed, and still believes that you win by running the ball, controlling the clock, and playing defense. That formula is no longer a valid formula to win championships. Quote:
There is, however, a reason that Alex Smith and the 9ers, were among the worst in the league at converting 3rd down opportunities. Alex Smith's limitations. Yes, he was leashed.
