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.
