Imo their window as LEGIT contenders is closing. 2014 may be the last year they are a SERIOUS threat to make the SB. Sure they'll still have key players in 2015, but imo even great teams can only sustain a great team for 3-4 years in the days of the salary cap.
I think that the 2013 whiners were worse than the 2011 & 2012 teams. Imo those teams had very good chances of winning the SB and they blew it. Opportunities are few and far between in the NFL.
The 2014 whiners will arguably worse than the 2013 team, and don't forget that Kaeperdick is due his big fat contract before 2015. As it stands right now, they have $126M under contract, plus they have some key FAs.

The reason I'm bringing this up, is because I believe our team is on the rise, whereas I think you will see a slight decline each year by SF in the coming years. I think a good offseason and the Rams will pass the Cards, and a good-great season and we COULD pass SF to have the 2nd best record in the division. Not ready to say we're close to Seattle, because they're good-great in almost every position (with depth), but I think the Rams can close the gap this year with another good draft, developing talent, and the niners having to make tough personnel decisions.
The Kaep & Wilson contracts will be the great equalizers in the West in 2015.
