The San Francisco 49ers have talent on their roster, but what specifically will it take for them to contend in 2015? The answer might be fairly simple.
The San Francisco 49ers enter the 2015 season with a lot of people suggesting they were in for a further regression from last season. The national view, and that of plenty of 49ers fans, is that the losses of Jim Harbaugh, Justin Smith, Frank Gore, Patrick Willis, Chris Borland, Chris Culliver, Perrish Cox and others would significantly hurt the team's chances in 2015.
