Well, this isn’t how things were supposed to go for the San Francisco 49ers.
Sitting at 1-4 five games into the 2018 season, the Niners’ prospects for a possible playoff push this year have all gone awash, and the team is looking again at a very real possibility of landing a top-10 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
In fairness, it’s probably needed. But that’s a breakdown for another time.
Naturally, with such a disappointing start to the year, there’s going to be a lot of blame thrown around. For the first time since taking over duties, head coach Kyle Shanahan might be viewed as someone not quite fit for the job.
