I have been a bit puzzled by the 49ers if I've being honest. They traded two first round picks for the league's best WR Andre Johnson only to trade away QB Big Ben a season later then replace him with a scrambling QB in Cam Newton. This makes Johnson sort of a luxury whose impact will likely be less on the field than what he inputs into the algorithm for team rating. Then, after seeing the defense rise for four straight seasons and blossom into #4 in the league, the team changes gears and installs a 4-3 with the ramifications to be determined. I like their draft and their talent as a whole. I'm just not on board with the direction the team went this offseason.
I had a big fear that Ben will retire after this year and I wanted to get value.(him geting injured seems kind of good timing so far) Cam being available made me want to go in that direction, and changing to 4-3 is a bit of an experiment but I believe due to change in roster it makes more sense? we'll see how it goes. ---
