At the end of the day, you are what your record says you are. Ordinarily that squad would have lost more games under staley, but this team seems more resilient under harbaugh.Is it? Lets look at who they've actually beaten:
Raiders - dogshit
Panthers - dogshit
Broncos - that win is looking better as the season goes on
Saints - slightly less than dogshit
Browns - dogshit
Titans - dogshit
Bengals - below average (and really should've lost)
Their ledger looks good but any half decent team they've come up against, they've lost to (Steelers/Chiefs/Cards).
Sure they are not perfect, but this is his first year with the team, and they already have shown the mental capabiility to put away bad teams.
Just need more time under harbaughs's system to be able to compete against the big boys of their conference.
Considering how he turned san fran into a brusing bone crushing team, turned around the michigan program , leads me to believe that he will do the same at LA.
