The NFL is an ever-evolving game, which means that Julio Jones T Shirts its teams have to be ready to adapt with the times if they want to compete. When it comes to the NFL, a league with a steep learning curve and one intentionally marred with parity, the task of adapting on the fly to achieve the ultimate goal is that much more daunting. Few teams understand the challenge of returning to a Super Bowl like the , who fought their way to the Big Game seven years ago only to fall short against the , and will now face off against the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 3 in Miami for all the marbles.Before the clash with the Ravens in yesteryear, they hadn't been since the mid-1990s, and that's evidence that unle s you're the under Bill Belichick -- who themselves were eliminated in this year's wild card -- you have to turbo through the exceedingly small window of opportunity when you get the chance. Now having dismi sed the in their first NFC title bout in six seasons, a lot had to go right for the 49ers to get to where they are today.That included being able to gut through the things that went wrong to remain one of the best teams in the entire .So, how'd they do it? It was a mostly magical season, yes, but was there a quick fix? One single acquisition that suddenly turned them from a 4-12 club to one that went on a tear in 2019 before finishing with a 13-3 record? The answer is a resounding "no", and it's time to review the proof of just how much risk they took to get to this point because that's truly the only way anyone can appreciate what the 49ers are showing us in 2019. You don't have to like them. You can even loathe them if that's your preference, but football law dictates we all put some respec k on their name.That's law.A new chief of police - General managerThe 49ers hadn't had a winning season since 2013, and team CEO Jed York had seen enough. York decided to blow up the team in 2017, but he wasn't looking for retreads in his new leadership. His first big risk was naming John Lynch general manager, a former nine-time Pro Bowl safety with no experience Michael Turner Jersey running an . York was laughed at by some and written off as crazy by others, but it turned out he knew exactly what he was doing when he rolled those dice. Lynch engineered a fairly rapid turnaround and one that can only truly be appreciated by di secting what's occurred since he took the reins.One of the most talented executives in the league, he is outperforming general managers and other front office personnel from around the league who have a decade's more experience than he does, and at the tender age of 48 -- no le s. Young, talented watch commander - Head coachArguably the best decision York made was giving the green light to Lynch to bring in Kyle Shanahan as the new head coach in 2017 after a disastrous one-year experiment with Chip Kelly that followed an unproductive one-year stint under former defensive line coach Jim Tomsula -- the two coaches combining for an abysmal 7-28 record in two seasons following the decision to move on from Jim Harbaugh. With the emergence of Sean McVay in Los Angeles, the 49ers wanted to find a young, creative leader of their own.Enter Shanahan, an offensive coordinator who led the to a only two seasons prior. Things didn't end well in that game after the Falcons took an infamous 28-3 lead before ultimately losing to the Patriots, but Shanahan took the le sons learned with him to Santa Clara. Nearly the same age as York when he got the job, it was clear the 49ers weren't afraid of risk, but the next task was as important as the previous ones: determining who'd be the Kyle Pitts Jersey franchise quarterback.Lynch and Shanahan already had someone in mind, and it wasn't .Trade for the big gun - QuarterbackKaepernick had already begun to wear out his welcome by the time 2017 rolled around, and I'm not talking about his silent civil rights protests during the national anthem -- although many would argue that played a part. On the field, he couldn't regain the magic he had when he took over for and led the 49ers to the Super Bowl, and Shanahan had other ideas for the offense that didn't fit Kaepernick's skill set. The friction between Kaepernick and the club led to his release and the decision to trade with the Patriots and land backup in exchange for a 2018 second-round pick. In 2018, with le s than a handful of starts under his belt for the 49ers, the two sides agreed on a five-year, $137 million extension; and that served notice Garoppolo would be the QB of the future in San Francisco. Things weren't all roses from the outset, however, with the young QB suffering a torn ACL that cost him 13 games that season, and his preseason return in 2019 was inconsistent at best, leading some to begin to consider his trade value and/or cap savings if released.Instead, Garoppolo took that leap forward, throwing for a career-best 3,978 pa sing yards with 27 touchdowns to only 13 interceptions, serving up a huge platter of crow to his doubters in the proce s. Some of those doubters were the , but um, well, you know -- 349 yards with four touchdowns and a win tend to disagree. Emmanuel Sanders reels in the deep pa s from Jimmy Garoppolo, falls over, gets up and outruns the Saints defense for the score. (: ) Rob Lowder (@Rob_Lowder) Set up a task force - Running backsBy now you're gathering just how much the 49ers do not care about conventional thought, and if you still haven't grasped it, take a look at what they installed behind Garoppolo. While most NFL teams are either looking for a bell-cow running back or a Kendall Sheffield Jersey one-two punch tandem who complement each other in skill set, Lynch and Shanahan opted to go with a three-headed beast that made it difficult to game plan for. After all, if an opposing defensive coordinator cut off one of Ghidorah's heads, there were still two remaining; and if you were good enough to lop off two, well, still one remained. The names of the kaiju's heads are , , , with the latter having spent time in Atlanta with Shanahan. The three halfbacks can do damage on the ground and in the air, and combined for a ma sive 1,939 rushing yards -- despite injury -- to go along with 15 rushing touchdowns. All told, they produced 2,419 yards from scrimmage and 20 touchdowns total, and those are numbers that helped keep the heat off of Garoppolo, with opposing pa s rushers having to account for the 49ers rushing attack.Oh, and none of them were drafted by the 49ers. Mostert was a journeyman who worked his way up from the practice squad, Coleman hailed from Atlanta and Breida was an undrafted free agent of the 49ers in 2017. And those who labeled Mostert a throwaway Keelan Doss Jersey before he took a single snap this season have a stomach full of crow after seeing him to power the Niners to the Super Bowl.Talent evaluation grade: A+ Raheem Mostert.That's it.
