Mark Purdy of the San Jose Mercury News suggests in his column that the San Francisco 49ers are the "IT" team in the NFL. Well, to be fair, he's reporting on recent murmurings in the bay area that have now reached a certain audible crescendo of confidence. It is a feeling shared with some of the talking heads around the country that suggest that San Francisco might be making a Super Bowl run, particularly after beating the Packers in Green Bay in week one.
I'll go ahead and dismiss his assertion that the big problem that the 49ers need to overcome is overconfidence. Even if that were a real issue, the problem for the 49ers is that we are just now heading into week two and other dreamers, most notably Armchair Quarterbacks of the Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos, also have similar visions of grandeur for their franchises. Overconfidence? No, just a little delusional.
