The San Francisco 49ers have had disappointing finishes to their season each of the past two years.
They made the NFC Championship game in back-to-back years but could not get over the hump.
The one thing the 49ers have in place is an elite roster.
The one question mark on their entire team is who will start at quarterback.
It seems likely that if Brock Purdy is healthy it will be his job to lose.
But he is still recovering from elbow surgery and his timetable is to be determined.
If not Purdy, then the 49ers have Trey Lance or Sam Darnold who could take the starting role.
One 49ers legend thinks the team should have the utmost confidence heading into next year.
According to Jerry Rice, the 49ers should have the mindset that they are “gonna win it this year.”

There is no question that the 49ers are on a shortlist of Super Bowl teams.
They have one of the best defenses in the NFL.
Their roster doesn’t have a lot of weaknesses.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan is one of the best in football.
He is an offensive guru and can lead a successful offense no matter who is at quarterback.
The 49ers have had an often injured team in recent years.
If they can stay relatively healthy next year this will be a very good team.
