It was a sad end to an underachieving season. The split between Jim Harbaugh and the was dramatic. I mean, it always is when a coach with a winning record (44-19-1) and a conference championship leaves a team. However, this one had its own flair. If watching that divorce wasn't bad enough, the questions surrounding the coaching staff isn't Larnel Coleman Jersey a comfortable position as a fan. Add to this situation the fact that some players could be departing in free agency and we're looking at a Niners team that could have a very different look. But cheer up. The have been an NFC powerhouse for years now. You might have finished 2014 at 8-8, but when you consider the plethora of injuries (many to key players) and being in the toughest division in the NFC, that's not a bad record at all. I mean, think of it this way: 8-8 would've won you the NFC South. So at least there's that. Yes, there are a lot of questions for this team heading into 2015, but there's plenty to look forward to. Developing signal caller did not have the season Niners fans were hoping to see. That doesn't mean his Malcolm Brown Jersey season was terrible, though. He quietly produced over 4,000 combined yards through the air and on the ground. Kaepernick does make some questionable decisions on the field, but he's owned up to them and is working with Kurt Warner in the offseason to work on his game. Not all of that is on him, though. Outside of , Kaepernick hasn't had a consistent receiver who can cause separation. simply isn't the same player he once was, and as much as I like and , they're better at ground-and-pound than they are catching pa ses out of the backfield. Without a reliable checkdown option, Kaepernick is usually forced to make plays with his legs or throw into bad coverage. Despite the i sues with targets, working with Warner should help Byron Jones Jersey Kap work through his progre sions and on-field decisions. If Kap can spread the field with his pa ses, that leaves even more room for him to run. With his athleticism, he could be a more dynamic , and that's a scary thought. "Los Hyde"Throughout the season, my colleague Adam Rank tried to get the nickname "Los Hyde" to stick. I think it's catchy, so I'm doing my part to spread this around Niners Nation. has been the foundation Tyreek Hill Jersey of the 49er offense for years now. He defies logic running the way he has throughout his career, on reconstructed knees no le s. It's uncertain whether he'll be in a Niners uniform come free agency. Hyde may be the guy in the backfield for 2015. I think he can handle that workload for seasons to come. Hyde is a power runner and is built like a bigger version of Gore, so good luck bringing him down with arm tackles. Running backs with his running style typically get better as the game goes along, too. As much as losing Gore will hurt, "Los Hyde" can be a consistent threat as well as an excellent closer. Free agencySo, the best part of the offseason is free agency. It almost never turns out as great as you hoped, but when it starts the po sibilities are endle s. Yes, you might lose Gore, but think if the part ways with due Austin Jackson Jersey to cap space. Then the Niners pick him up to create a great pair of receivers. What if they also grab someone like or to add a threat at tight end?There's going to be a lot of new factors for the in 2015. It may not all be great, but at least the Niners still have enough talent to remain a threat in the NFC. Daniel Williams is a Digital Features Editor at NFL.com and is a firm believer in the .
