No doubt SF is loaded with talent and toughness.....And I guess teams believe Gamble was a big part of building this team.....but lets understand SF has endured a brutal stretch of seasons prior to SF's climb up the standings last year.
Draft picks...
'05....#1
'06....#6
'07....#11
'08....#29.....Had to trade into the first round to get #29 due to the fact SF traded up for #28 in '07 from NE for SFs '08 #1 which turned out to be the #7 pick in '08.
'09....#10
'10....#11
'11....#7

Seven years of drafting in the top 11 (including NE's SF pick in '08)

In a PR touting Gamble's career, they associate Gamble with wins while working in the Colts staff thru '04......The power of Peyton Manning

Looking at the turn around SF did last year, I personally would be crediting Harbough more than the staff that accumulated talent from the top of the draft for 7 straight years.
Guess the Jets may be willing to be as patient as SF was.........just suck for 7 years to get enough talent.
