Last season, the San Francisco 49ers went beyond by facing Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs for Super Bowl LVIII. This season, the team is expected to win more than 10 games and have the chance to repeat their run for the 2024-25 NFL season.
The 49ers have undergone significant transformations over the past five years, setting the stage for a promising 2024 season. Since 2019, the team has navigated challenges, including injuries and roster changes, while building a foundation that could lead them back to the Super Bowl.
The 2019 season marked a turning point, with the return of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and key acquisitions enhancing the defensive line. Despite a stellar defense, the season ended in disappointment as Garoppolo struggled in crucial moments during the Super Bowl. The following years saw the emergence of Brock Purdy, who stepped in during a crisis and showcased his potential, leading the team to impressive performances.
Injuries plagued the roster, but the resilience shown by players like Deebo Samuel and Fred Warner helped maintain competitive spirit. The coaching staff, particularly Kyle Shanahan, adapted strategies, emphasizing a balanced offensive attack while relying on a stout defense.
San Francisco 49ers Projected To Win More Than 10 Games For 2024-25 NFL Season
Like last season, the 49ers are expected to perform well in the coming months. This is backed up in an NFL analysis done by Cynthia Frelund for the 2024-25 campaign.

I think it’s worth saying this again before the season starts: Brock Purdy led all qualified passers in passer rating, yards per attempt, passing EPA and success rate in 2023, with those latter two measurements courtesy of Next Gen Stats.
The Niners sat atop my NFC rankings until the holdouts of LT Trent Williams and WR Brandon Aiyuk shaped the preseason (though Aiyuk is now back in the fold). Focusing specifically on Williams’ immense impact: The first-team All-Pro left tackle allowed pressure on just 7.2 percent of his pass-blocking snaps in 2023, the fourth-best figure NGS charted among 34 left tackles with at least 300 pass-blocking snaps last season.
As the 2024 season approaches, the 49ers are poised for success. The return of key players and the addition of new talent have strengthened their lineup. With Purdy at the helm and a robust supporting cast, including stars like Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk, the offense is primed to excel.
The offseason has been filled with speculation, but the team’s cohesion and determination are evident. With a solid foundation and the lessons learned from past seasons, the 49ers aim to conquer their challenges and make a serious run for the championship, proving that their time is now. Fans are eagerly anticipating what this season holds for a team ready to reclaim its place at the top.
