4. San Fransisco 49ers

The 49ers are another team that has been very inconsistent ever since making the Super Bowl in 2012. They have changed coaches, quarterbacks, and coordinators, but they still haven’t found the right mix of guys in San Fransisco. Maybe they should ask the San Fransisco Giants how they built champions.

I don’t believe Colin Kaepernick is the answer at quarterback anymore for the 49ers. They just benched Blaine Gabbert and Kaepernick will be returning to the starting lineup this Sunday. I would be very surprised if he was still the starter at the end of next season.

Normally teams who have bad quarterbacks end up drafting very high in the draft. With that being said, it’s always hard to predict how bad or how good a team will be in two seasons, but I have a feeling the 49ers will still be looking for a quarterback when Lamar Jackson leaves for the NFL Draft.
