You are right but I think many of you guys are overrating that they didn't make the playoffs and got a lot of high picks. Sure it helps, but football is not baseball. The 49ers are not the TB Rays. It just doesn't work that way in the NFL. They always had a talented roster but they were immature and had awful coaching. And they didn't have a QB for a long time until somehow Harbaugh resurrected Smith.
That is the biggest difference. They have a HC and have gotten great QB play the past two years.
