If you're making a short list of the top Super Bowl contenders in 2024, it has to include the San Francisco 49ers.Coming off a second Super Bowl lo s in the last five years a season ago, San Kevin Huerter Jersey Francisco has revenge on its mind. They have one of the National Football League's best rosters, a premier head coach in Kyle Shanahan, and an axe to grind with the Kansas City Chiefs.Based on pure talent, the 49ers can beat any team on any given day. But there's always a reason a top team might not take home a championship, and one football writer laid out the case for the 49ers to fail in 2024.On Friday, Austin Mock of The Athletic wrote each top NFL contender could win and not win the Super Bowl this season, saying the following in the DeAndre' Bembry Jersey negative case for the 49ers:"Contract chaos," Mock said. "Negotiations with star receiverBrandon Aiyukand All-Pro left tackleTrent Williams(have spilled) into the season, and without these two practicing for the majority of the summer, the offense sputters out of the gate Kris Dunn Jersey and struggles to find a rhythm."Though Aiyuk, 26, is officially back following his four-year, $120 million extension announcement Thursday night, he is not yet certain to play in San Francisco's Week 1 game against the New York Jets. Meanwhile, Williams' situation remains ongoing.Though the 49ers' skill players are among the most impre sive collections of offensive talent the league has ever seen, mi sing their left tackle would be a huge blow to the 49ers.The longer the 36-year-old Williams holds out, the longer it will take him to get up to speed once the season starts. And at his age, it's hard to tell how damaging such a Charlie Brown Jersey long layoff could be to his overall athleticism.The pre sure is also high on San Francisco to win this season, while third-year quarterback Brock Purdy is still on his rookie deal. Once the 49ers have to pay Purdy like an elite signal-caller, they will certainly have to make compromises elsewhere on the roster.Ultimately, only time will tell if this is finally the season San Francisco gets it done in the Shanahan era. But as good as the 49ers appear to be on Cam Reddish Jersey paper, only one of 32 teams gets to pop champagne in February.More NFL:
