Bill Parcells famously once said, “If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries.” On today’s Gold Standard podcast, we discussed how the recently released Pro Bowl rosters tell us one thing: the people shopping for the 49ers’ groceries are doing a damn good job.

Now throw in the fact that the 49ers also have seven players that were named alternates for the game, and you get a pretty good picture of how talented this year’s group of players truly is.
