The new year brings with it new expectations. The San Francisco 49ers had a disappointing 2018 campaign, thanks in large part to Jimmy Garoppolo’s torn ACL. Most of us probably did not see the 49ers as a Super Bowl team prior to the injury, but the playoffs were at least in the realm of the possible.
Over the next eight months, the 49ers will get Garoppolo and Jerick McKinnon from rehab, add some potentially significant talent in the draft, and possibly land a big fish or two in free agency.
