Bold-Faced Predictions: 49ers you can bank on

PrintWho doesn't love a good predictions post? While some may argue it's a bit soon to be making numerical predictions, I argue there's no better time than the present. After all, San Francisco is a game deep into its preseason with the regular season creeping closer and closer as each day passes. Injuries can ruin any prediction, but so can an unexpected player coming out of nowhere. We've already seen some injuries occur, and we'll (unfortunately) likely see a few more. In other words, there's no better time than now to begin making bold-faced predictions (especially if one prediction includes the rise of a player like a phoenix from the ashes, see: Brooks, Ahmad). Before I begin, I encourage Niners Nation to participate by making a few bold-faced predictions of their own, instead of just ripping my to shreds.
Bold-Faced Prediction #1
The San Francisco 49ers will win the NFC West. The team will win 10 games, and finish 5-1 in division play. Unfortunately, Darryl Ducket (Darnell Dockett) and the Arizona Cardinals will beat San Francisco 20-17 on Monday, November 29. While it will look like all but certain doom at the time, the 49ers will win 4 of its next 5 games. That includes the division clinching finale against the Cardinals in week 17, ending Arizona's reign as NFC West Champs. The 4-4 start to the season won't be much to have worried about after all. With a divison title, the 49ers will host an NFC playoff game in January.
Bold-Faced Prediction #2
San Francisco safety Dashon Goldson will play himself into a huge mega-contract, and serious consideration for Defensive Player of the Year. Goldson's tackling will be improved from a season ago (missing fewer), and he'll anchor the 49ers secondary. Despite the rare occurance that Goldson's combination of 3 Forced Fumbles and 3 INTs in 2009 were, he'll match the forced fumbles total and surpass his interception total. Draft Goldson in your fantasy IDP leagues, he'll finish with 90 tackles, 6 INTs, 3 FF, 1 DEF TD and 9 Passes Defended.
Get on the diving board and make the jump to see the rest of my bold-faced predictions...
Bold-Faced Prediction #3
Brian Westbrook will start as many games as Anthony Dixon in 2010, zero. That's right, Frank Gore will play in and start all 16 games this season. However, Gore will not set a career high in rushing attempts, receptions or total yardage. With a healthy stable of backs ready to spell Gore in game situations, not just when Gore gets hurt, the 49ers will keep the Tank healthy all season long. Gore will still get his touches (carries+receptions), about 280 in total, and average a career best 6.5 yards per touch (correct mathematicians, that's 1820 total yards). That will leave around 125 touches for Westbrook and Dixon to split between each other, with perhaps the fullback stealing a few here or there. The 49ers will boast a top 10 rushing attack in 2010.
Bold-Faced Prediction #4
We'll all have reason to party, when Mike Iupati makes the NFC's Pro Bowl roster as Steve Hutchinson's reserve. David Baas will have to start more games than we expect at center, as Eric Heitmann will take longer to recover from his injury than anticipated. Baas will be more than adequate in Heitmann's absence, but when Heitmann finally returns against Denver in London, the 49ers will set a single game franchise rushing record. Stangely enough, Frank Gore will not top 200 yards rushing in the game. In other OL predictions, Joe Staley will start all 16 games, Adam Snyder will be a reliable back-up and Anthony Davis' rookies woes will disappear the same time Eric Heitmann returns. As a result, the 49ers will allow less than 31 sacks in 2010.
Bold-Faced Prediction #5
Ahmad Brooks will recover from his lacerated kidney and lacerate opposing quarterbacks in 2010 more often than any other 49ers pass rusher. The best part? He'll do it all as Manny Lawson's back-up, allowing the team to keep Lawson's excellent coverage skills on the field when necessary, but rely on Brooks' pass rushing ability when need be. Diyral Biggs will be San Francisco's 8th and final linebacker, beating out Travis LaBoy and Bruce Davis. We won't see many changes in the team's DL, as Justin Smith's motor will never shut off, and Aubrayo Franklin will remain an anchor in the middle (he'll sign his tender following San Francisco's preseason game this Sunday). Much like in 2009, the 49ers will boast a top 4 sack total, and the front seven will again have San Francisco hovering around as one of the top rushing defenses in the league.
Bold-Faced Prediction #6
With Brandon Jones cut, and Jason Hill failing to live up to expectations, the 49ers will keep just five wide receivers on the roster and that will include Dominique Zeigler. Sadly, not a single 49er player will reach 1,000 yards receiving, but both VD and Crabs will put up 900 apiece. By the way, Vernon Davis will put up another double-digit TD performance (11) and Michael Crabtree won't be too far behind with 7. That means Alex Smith will match his 2009 passing TD total with those two options alone. I'll go as far to say that the 49ers will add at least 8 more receiving TDs, bringing the team's 2010 total to 26. Will Alex Smith throw all 26 of those TD passes? No. Thanks to Jimmy Raye's new found creativity, we'll see Ted Ginn throw a TD pass on a gadget play in week 15 against San Diego.
Well Niners Nation, that wraps up my bold-faced predictions for now. Hopefully you can understand that while I hope these predictions come true, for the most part I wanted to have a little fun with it. Yes, the team will win 10 games and capture the NFC crown, but I can't guarantee everything else will pan out the way I've predicted it. Only Ninjames has a time machine (he gave David Carr his helmet), and he doesn't even email me in present day, let alone from the future. Go ahead and make your own bold-faced predictions, and you don't even have to drink a big glass of kool-aid like I did.

Patrick Willis will win Defensive MVP
He will also be a top candidate for League MVP. The 49ers will boast a strong defense and the league will recognize it by giving it’s best player Defensive MVP. Momentum for the award will start in Week 2 when the 49ers defense surprises the nation taking the Saints offense to the woodshed on MNF. Strong play in November & December against a favorable schedule while the nation is tuned into a playoff chase will seal the award.
dude, just yesterday i was typing up my predictions for this year
and i listed Patrick Willis as the Defensive Player of the Year.
When life gives you fruit, add a bunch of sugar to it.
I don’t hate this prediction at all.
No crow for me thanks, Brandon Jones cut.

as long as it's prediction time:
- Frank Gore will have his highest yardage total since 2006.
- Vernon Davis will have 1,000 yards receiving this year, but he will not hit double-digit TDs again. he will score no more than 8 times this year.
- Patrick Willis will have at least one pick-six this year, for the third season in a row.
- Parys Haralson will lead the team in sacks with 9.5, but several of those will come in the two games against the Rams.
- Michael Lewis will be out of the starting lineup by the week 11 game against the Buccaneers. His replacement will have an excellent game.
- Michael Crabtree will have at least 100 yards and a TD against the Saints in week 2, but the 49ers will lose that game anyway.
- Vernon Davis will have at least 100 yards and a TD against the Broncos in London. He will start referring to himself as “The Ambassador”.
- Mike Singletary will either win Coach of the Year, or he will come in 2nd in the voting.
- Mike Iupati will start in the Pro Bowl. Yes, this year.
and looking a little farther into the future…
- Patrick Willis will make the All-Decade Team for the twenty-teens, or whatever this decade is called.
When life gives you fruit, add a bunch of sugar to it.
Close, but no cigar....
The Niners will win 12 games this year, dropping games to NO at home, ATL away, GB away, and SD Chargers away. We finish with a near perfect home record and sweep the Cards.
Goldson will not be considered as DPY award, no way, but he will be great and he will be solid. Your projected stats are close to what I believe he will do. He gets no major contract as he has yet to deserve one. He gets paid well, top 5 Saftey money, not top 1.
Frank stays fresh though out the whole season, but he doesn’t play all 16. He had 1 or 2 runs in Seattle last year when he had his High ankle sprain……It happens and he will probably miss some time.
Iupati has very little chance at making a Pro Bowl his first year. Even if he deserved it, there are other players with more name rec than Iupati.
Agree with the Brooks comments, he will be a beast this year, and I think Bowman will record a few sacks too this year when he gets time on the field.
What, only 5 WRs? It is true that they usually carry 5, and last year they had 6, and I know that we had no clear #1 going in and all, but I think they keep 6 this year too.
*Crabtree
*Morgan
*Ginn
*Zeigler
*Hill
- Williams….Williams makes it as a PR/KR/WR, so he has value there
The team kept Rosum on the team as a PR only, so Williams gives more options. I don’t think they get rid of Hill just yet.
As for Smith and his 26 TD’s, I think that he has more around 30. He would have averaged 26-27 last year, and that was with a lesser O-line and the Offense sputtered alot last year. Crabs and Davis each go over 1000 for the season. Davis breaks the single season TE TD catches this year with 15, and Crabs has 10.
Williams is getting kept as WR 4/5 and PR
Its Hill that’s on the bubble.

Hi Andrew
Just curious, by what metric are you basing your predictions on? Some complicated simulation, or a healthy mix of previous season stats and gut intuition?
good old fashioned kool-aid.

ooh, what flavor?
I really didn’t care about the taste, I always chose the flavor that glowed the brightest in the dark
Bold Face Predictions
- Frank Gore will have more than 1,200 yards rushing with 9 TD’s; over 300 yards receiving with 3 TDs, another pro bowl year
- Vernon Davis will top 1,000 yards receiving with 9 TDs, he second straight start as the NFC TE
*Mike Iupati will make the NFC as a guard but will not start
*Alex Smith will have over 3,000 yards passing with 24 TDs and 13 INTs, his passer rating will be high 80’s to low 90’s (Dont know the exact system that’s used to measure that)
*Patrick Willis will have over 125 tackles, 5 sacks and 3 Forced Fumbles; he will be in the top 3 in Defensive Player of Year voting
*Dashon Goldson will have over 90 TKLs with 5 INTs and 3 Fumble Recoveries
- The team will go 12-4 and 6-0 in the division, the close game will be in Arizona but this team will have learned from previous mistakes and win it when it comes; They lose games against N.O,ATL,GB, SD
u mean 13-4

13-4 is possible... 13-3 regular season, a loss in 1st playoff game.
I predict 11-5. We sweep the NFC West, go 5-5 vs the rest… that wins us the division and gets us a home playoff game, which we also win. After that, well, we’re still a year away. We’ve got to let this year’s rookie class get that all-important year’s experience. Then….
After all was said and done, a lot more got said than done.
"Patrick Willis will have over 125 tackles..."
not a very “bold” prediction, since his career low is 141.
When life gives you fruit, add a bunch of sugar to it.
I know that
but with the emergence of Dashon Goldson, Aubrayo Franklin and Ahmad Brooks there are so many tackles that will be available
My no bar's hold in your face bold prediction ...
… Favre’s name will be said 4.5 “bazillion” time’s tomorrow …!!

I hope Alex Smith and the 49ers have a 'Rex Grossman and the Chicago Bears of 2006' season.
My biggest concern is that Smith plays well enough for the team to retain him and sign him to keep him as the starter for another 3 years or so – continuing to make no attempt whatsoever to find an upgrade. If Smith is the QB during the height of this 49ers team’s greatness, then we will never make it over that hump – whatever “that hump” may be.
If he sucks, but we do well despite him, then the team will realize the need to find a true franchise QB, and doing so will take us from “pretty good” to “great” in an instant – where we can compete for championships for the next couple seasons.

Yes because he hasn't gotten better each year he's played healthy.

not quite:
Rookie year: 1 TD 11 INTs
2nd year: 16TDs 16INTs
3rd year: 2 TDs 4 INTs
4th year: did not participate
5th year: failed to beat out Shaun Hill for starting job until week 7. Shaun Hill was later detemined to be worth a 7th round draft pick, and is currently a backup for the Detroit Lions.
When life gives you fruit, add a bunch of sugar to it.
read the headline
Each year he’s played healthy
Year 3 he was injured in the 3rd game and wasn’t healthy for the entire year and on through the next season. He tried to play on it but considering it took 2 surgeries to correctly fix it took the better part of 2 years to get back.
Then he came back and threw 18 and 12

Smith's numbers have been about appropriate for what you'd expect from an average/poor QB in his position(s)
Rookie on a bad team: awful numbers
2nd year on an improved, but still young team: below average, but half-decent numbers.
3rd year on a team with a spectacular defense, weapons on offense, and incredibly low expectations: decent numbers in limited play against poor competition.
I’m not saying that Smith is the worst QB in the league. He’s just not good. I don’t expect him to carry a team any more than I would Rex Grossman, hence the comparison.
"It came down like a punt, Coach!" - Josh Morgan
ALEX QB = THE KEY!!!
All predictions FALL on ALEX SMITH,QB being the Key!!! If he has a great year and plays like the second half of the Texan Titan’s game then we can go all the way!! NATE DAVIS to show his mettle today!!! CARR seems okay so far till needs to absorb the playbook which takes roughly 2-3 years.
it's ok
you’re allowed to be negative. low expectations will make you all the more excited about a 49ers division crown when it happens.
Personally, I don’t think Pete Caroll will last long with the Seahawks, and if the 49ers don’t win the division, it won’t be Seattle.
No crow for me thanks, Brandon Jones cut.
by Andrew Davidson on Aug 21, 2010 11:43 PM PDT up reply actions
If its not the Niners
Than its not the Rams. Leinart is no Hasselbeck and Zona’s defence will be worse this year with key loses to its roster, so not the Cards. I’d take Charlie Whitehurst over Leinart. The Niners should win the division agreed, but if not the it has to be the Seahawks.
Favre: It's rare to ever see a QB be so indecisive, waffle...
It's also unlikely to have one start 19 consecutive seasons.
Dashon Goldson will play himself into a huge mega-contract, and serious consideration for Defensive Player of the Year…
I mean, really. I understand the idea behind these bold prediction threads, but…what?! Defensive Player of the Year? I can think of three or four guys on our own defense alone who would be more likely to be in the running for that award.
"It came down like a punt, Coach!" - Josh Morgan
lol, I love the stickman picture. If Goldson puts up the numbers I predict, the league will have no choice to but give some consideration Goldson’s way for Defensive Player of the Year.
Out of curiousity, which three or four guys from the 49ers are on your mind (aside from P-Willy of course)?
No crow for me thanks, Brandon Jones cut.
by Andrew Davidson on Aug 21, 2010 11:37 PM PDT up reply actions
Likely: Willis
Possible: Justin Smith, Aubrayo Franklin
Long shot, but still more likely than Goldson: Shawntae Spencer, TKO
"It came down like a punt, Coach!" - Josh Morgan
In a stats-driven award, there’s no way Spencer or Spikes are more likely to win the award over Goldson. No way. I’m pretty sure you were joking about those last two names.
No crow for me thanks, Brandon Jones cut.
by Andrew Davidson on Aug 22, 2010 10:39 AM PDT up reply actions
None of these will happen, obviously. But as "bold predictions" and "longshot picks", they remain far more likely than #38
Spikes has a chance if Willis (God forbid) gets hurt and he steps into the tackling machine/midfield roamer role that Willis currently occupies. Goldson will likely start and play in all 16 games, and still not come close to the production that Spikes could have, even as a second MLB.
Spencer is a solid cover man, and interceptions are always a freak stat for corners – you’ll often see a guy get 9 one year, then no more than 3 for the next couple seasons or the other way around. He, in my opinion, is more likely to top 7 picks than Goldson is.
At the very least, you can’t deny that Goldson isn’t even close to being the most likely guy on our defense, let alone the league, to win any awards.
"It came down like a punt, Coach!" - Josh Morgan
Definitely not, obviously Patrick Willis is the only true contender for the award on the team.
Last season Goldson had quite the productive stat line season though, with 90+ tackles, 4 INts and 3 FF. A Free Safety getting 90 tackles isn’t something that happens all the time. Considering the amount of whiffs Goldson had, he could’ve had 100 tackles. He had more tackles than Spikes (who missed a game), and half the amount of sacks (not that either guy rush the passer a lot).
Either way, I will agree that none of these scenarios are likely to happen, but I do think Goldson will have a solid season.
No crow for me thanks, Brandon Jones cut.

i boldly predict that this is off topic
but i need about 4 bodies to fill a free yahoo fantasy league. hit me up if you want in
Niners win West ( bold right?)
VD & Crabs both have over 1,000 yards recieving.
Frank has 1,300 yards rushing 300 recieving.
Alex plays well enough to get another contract. (3700 yards passing, 27 TDs, 10 INTs, 62% completion rate, 87 QB rating)
Defense is ranked Top 5.
Willis gets Defensive Player of the Year. Gets MVP votes.
Goldson leads NFL in INTs.
Brooks gets double-digit sacks. (14)

Predictions for my second favorite team
1. 49ers will not win the NFC regular season, but could go deep in the playoffs.
2. 12-5 record with losses to NO, PHI, DEN, GB and SD. Not bad.
3. A record with 12 or more wins cements Singletary as coach for next 3-5 years.
4. Nate Davis will replace A. Smith as the starter permanently if Smith is injured. Smith will not play out of his job as starter.
5. Playoff prospects are dependent on who is at QB. Smith is good for a two rounds, Davis is good for one. The playoffs are not kind to new starters (T. Romo, anyone).
6. Westbrook will cut into the number of passes to V. Davis and into the number of carries Gore gets, but having Westbrook touch the ball is usually a good thing.
Next year will be big, especially if #4 happens.
Again, 12-5 IS possible. 12-4 regular season, 0-1 in the playoffs...
After all was said and done, a lot more got said than done.
Sorry, Niners just can’t lose in London to Denver, not gonna happen. LondonNiner won’t allow it.

#2 so The Niners feel like playing an extra game this coming season huh
We cant lose to those teams you have us losing to (well not all of them) If they want to become a good to great team and do some damage in the playoffs we have to take two of those game and lose a couple in the divisoin
NO, SD and GB are all going to be tough.
That leaves the Eagles and Broncos. The Broncos appear to be on the upswing, and who knows with the Eagles.. so it’s possible that the 49ers do better than I’m projecting… it’s also possible they do worse.
Though I disagree with about everything you say...
The only one of those games I can actually see us winning is SD IF Vincent Jackson isn’t with the team. We aren’t going to win AT GB in December… And NO in week 2 I don’t think we’ll be clicking well enough at that point. The Niners will do better against them in the NFC championship game.

I think For Alex to have a sucessful season
His overall TD to Turnover ratio needs to be close to if not more than 2-to-1 and his completion % needs to somewhere from 62-65%. I think that with everything else we have will get the team into the playoffs and all this talk bout his future will be quieted for the time being
good god.
i had a feeling that i shouldnt read any Niner Nation posts before going to my draft today. I’m glad i didnt. if i had, this post has me so excited about this season that i probably would’ve drafted all 49ers and declared myself the repeat champion..
Good thing i didnt… I’ve already got enough flack for renaming my team “VD and Crabs”.
My first season ever playing fantasy football taught me the valuable lesson of “don’t build your fantasy team with a core of players from one team”. I’m glad you stuck to your initial instict, and you’ll be able to celebrate fantasy success as well as 49er success because of it. :)

Bold prediction.
Patrick Willis will record 14 million tackles, 3 thousand sacks, 400 interceptions, and 9 thousand forced fumbles. All this while playing without football pads. He will also be elected into the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and NASCAR hall of fames by mid september.
just 400 interceptions?
no way. that’s how many of his 12,000 interceptions will be returned for TDs.
When life gives you fruit, add a bunch of sugar to it.
"There is one more impact season ending injury in 49ers pre-season by Pat Willie"?
Pat wouldn’t do that.
When life gives you fruit, add a bunch of sugar to it.
Maybe it'll be the 49ers
injuring an opponent. Brett Favre probably shouldn’t be playing against our D tonight.
A big thanks to Colbert
for pointing out my faux pas, I guess I went against the spirit of this post. The physicality of this team warrants that within three weeks someone is bound to get hurt bad. I just hope it’s not anyone on our team.
We will win the Superbowl.

Bold Prediction for 49ers
He will be top 3 in the league in Receiving yards. If Smith had played the whole season last year he would of been there and he would of broken the TD record for TE’s.
Alex will be a top 10 QB with 26 TD’s 13 Int’s and 3300 yds (2 rushing TD’s)
Crabtree will have over 1000 yds with 8 TD’s.
Gore will run for 1400 yds. and 350 receiving yds. with 14 TD’s (4 Rec TD’s)
We will be in top 5 in Rushing, and Defense
We will finish with a 11-5 record, beat the WC team in the playoffs and Lose to Green Bay in the 2nd round.
Not too bold...
But Patrick Willis will break Matt Hasslebeck’s ribs again.
And Mike Iupati will run over K. Balmer on opening day.
Dockett will get put on his a$$ as well.
We will get at least 2 sacks on Drew Brees.
We go to Lambeau and WIN (Almost happened last year)
