he will prolly suck next year
His numbers should be better next year considering the upgrade at WR, the young O-line getting better (provided that RG hole gets filled), and the fact that he'll have been running the same offense initiated in preseason, with the same offensive coordinator for 2 years in a row - which really hasn't happened in his career. Not two full years of continuity, anyway.
If he plays worse, we all know where the fingers will be pointing. I think he'll have better numbers (yard/TDs) this coming year, although he'll probably throw more than 5 picks. I think he's generally pretty strong mentally, I'm not particularly worried about that.
I'm also interested in seeing a bit more of Kaep.

The 49ers are a pretty tight knit team, and I think it will help that guys like Gore and VD are so supportive of Alex.
His teammates like him, which should help smooth things out a bit.
