A 6-11 record for the 2024 San Francisco 49ers feels like a massive collapse for a team coming off a third consecutive NFC Championship Game appearance and the fourth in seven seasons under Kyle Shanahan.
Who knows, 2024 could have been the start of the collapse of Shanahan’s reign, but we won’t know that until after the 2025 season or beyond. 2024 has been frequently compared to the 2020 season, but the completion of that comparison would be for 2024 to just be a blip before another several years of dominance from the 49ers.
