49ers overreactions: Is it time to replace Moody after rocky season? originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The 49ers set a high bar in recent seasons.
The team advanced to the NFC Championship Game, with two Super Bowl appearances, in four of the past five NFL seasons.
But this season has been a disaster.
Tight end George Kittle is the only one of the 49ers’ big-name, star players whose play did not fall off this season, while Brock Purdy and Deebo Samuel were among those who saw significant drops in statistical production.

But some perspective is warranted, too. The 49ers are not alone. Just about every team in the NFL has needs along the offensive line.
Defensive linemen generally are more explosive and better athletes than those on the offensive line.
