Offense has picked up some talented pieces and the defense is strong as well. Will this be a return to glory for the San Francisco 49ers?

Definitly
The NFC West doesn't have many challenging opponents
Seattle is pretty good but they had issues with injuries and i don't think they're the team to beat like they were last year.
St. Louis just hasn't been the same since Martz left and Warner left
Arizona might be the biggest challenge with that explosive young offense and that good defense
i say the niners win the division 9-7 to10-6

Of course they can win the NFC West. They nearly won it last year with a 7-9 record. Look at the other teams. St. Louis has made some improvements so they can contend in the division, but Seattle has gotten weaker. And the Cardinals are still the Cardinals. I have my money on the Niners to win the division with a 10-6 record. St. Louis will be second followed by Seattle and Arizona.

Without question, with what they did in free agency by adding Nate Clements and Michael Lewis, they also had a very good draft by adding Patrick Willis and Joe Staley, they seem poised to take the NFC west in a landslide, they will go as far as Alex Smith will take them, he will need to be the leader of the offense, and the NFC is very weak i can say that its not out of the question to say that they can make the NFC Championship, on defense everything depends on the 49ers have a pass rush, which has to come from Manny Lawson, he has added 9 pounds, he will be the 49ers leader in sacks this year.

YES, look what the 49ers did last year, without clement or lewis. They still almost won the division. now that they upgraded thier defense, and vernon davis will be healthy, watch out cause they are going to be the team to beat in that division. The Rams and seahawks are good teams, but alexander still might have a broken foot, and thats their team. the team that will give them a run for thier money are the rams, but the rams don't have a defense that is going to match up good with davis, gore and smith. I'm telling you right now, the 49ers make the playoffs this year. and the funny thing is i live in boston and i'm a pats fan, but i do know football.

Anything is possible in the NFC west... Seattle will still be a solid playoff contender, St Louis always has a shot, and Arizona has all the weapons they just need to learn to bring it all together on game day... But yes the 49ers are on their way up from previous years, for sure

Absolutely!
They have a great chance to win in their division... But it will be super tough! The Rams look awesome with their powerful offense and defense along with special teams....
i can see the 49er's taken it to the playoffs... But superbowl... No... I dont see Alex Smith breaking Steeve Young or Joe Montana's records any time soon...
If they get to the superbowl and win it will be because of their Defense not Offense....
:-) Have a nice day!

Yes, they have some key young players that if come together in a smooth transition...
They may be a surprise team
But honestly I doubt it...

Seattle is still pretty good
Rams have a powerhouse offense
Cardinals also have a pretty powerhouse offense
I just don't think the 49ers can keep up... But if they can win their division games, then they have a chance
But we'll see

I believe They will win The 2008 NFC West Champions but they willl have alot of competition with The Seahawaks. Its going to be hard but I think they will win it.

Hell Yes! They have a great chance to take it this year. There defense is going to be riduclus and the addition of Darrell Jackson, that is huge, he is a top 10 receiver in the NFL and they got him for nothing and they took him from Seattle.

No, they have to prove they are able to play well together. More importantly the Seattle Seahawks have the division on lock and have for the THREE straight years!
