State of the 2024 San Francisco 49ers: Super Bowl remains tantalizingly within reach

Where does your squad stand ahead of the 2024 NFL season? Adam Rank sets the table by providing a State of the Franchise look at all 32 teams, zeroing in on the new faces to know, one significant fantasy spin and the stakes at play in the campaign to come.

Members of the 49ers organization, 49ers fans around the world and those who have started to grow tired of Patrick Mahomes before it's become cool ...

The 49ers are still one of the best teams in the NFC, maybe even all of the NFL, held back by just one thing, or, to the point, one player: Mahomes, who improved to 2-0 against them in Super Bowls at the conclusion of the 2023 season. Don't listen to anyone who suggests the window of opportunity is closing for this group, which I believe is poised to make another run this season.
