Things around the 49ers office are indeed returning to normal. There was a time when it was Super Bowl or bust, and every season that was the team’s goal. It lead to success a plenty. This season, the team’s goal also seems to be winning the big one.

The front office staff is doing everything it can to load the team with talent and depth at every position. So far, they have done an incredible job at that. This team should be improved over last season (although they may not win twelve games again, the team its self will be better).

The biggest hint that the 49ers had extremely high goals for the team this season, came just recently in a comment by Terry Donahue: "We believe the quarterback position is absolutely the most critical position on the football team, we've got to make sure we create the best corps of quarterbacks there is in the NFL so if, God forbid, anything happens to Jeff Garcia, we can accomplish the goals we've set for the organization. The greater the quality of players at that position, the greater the competition will be. At times (McNown) has shown promising qualities and characteristics at the position."
