49ers have a young coach getting his sea legs, and the team will improve as the year goes on.
8-8 or 9-7 to win the division.

While I think you're spot on that the division is a lot weaker than we thought, I think that rumors of Seattle's demise are greatly exaggerated at this point. I think Arizona has further to go, but could also get better. The Rams...I'll believe it when I see it, but they have improved a ton and I like their upside better than the 49ers.
The 49ers just don't have much talent. Their O-Line is atrocious, Garcon just isn't all that exciting as a #1 WR, and Hoyer is the definition of sub-par. The defense has some talent, but Bowman is not nearly the player he was and the youngsters need a lot of time to grow. I have a hard time finding 5 wins on their schedule, let alone 7-8.
