Momentum OR Singletary?

by goatfather on May 12, 2009 9:59 AM PDT

We have all heard recently about the new attitude this year noticed by reporters, coaches and players alike.

So in thinking about the question, "Will the Momentum carry over into next year?" I am thinking several things.

This is undoubtedly the way the question will be posed in the media, particularly the mainstream. But is it the correct question?

I recall a season in the not so distant past when an even younger Alex Smith and the rest of this rag tag group was poised to build on the positives of the previous season (the amazing last drive in Seattle...a bit of condescension) and be in contention for the playoffs. We all know what actually happened.

I would like to make a list with everyones help of the differences between NOW and THEN on TWO fronts.

1st On the difference with Singletary in particular, and the new Organizational structure (including Jed) in general.

2nd On the difference in talent bettween now and then. How much better at each position are we? This would include a possible subsection, but so as not to take away from the other more substinent things, on Alex Smith.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Niners Nation's writers or editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of Niners Nation's writers or editors.

My question.

Why couldn’t this be a comment in the main thread about momentum?

Front office and the coaching

The biggest difference I can see, is Jed taking the reighns in the front office. And no more Mike Nolan at the helm, Mike Singletary can get anyone fired up and ready to go through the fire with him. I believe the differences between the years is the emotion the 49ers have. There seems to be a real excitement for the boys to get out there on the field and start popping people in there mouths and putting up some W’s.

It is amazing how fast the perception of the 49ers has seemingly changed

Singletary

Watching him coach pumps me up. But I would say it is a mixture of Singletary and momentum. The momentum was created by Singletary’s coaching/motivation/awesomeness. I can’t wait to see what Singletary brings to the table this year.

In Shaun Hill will trust
