The San Francisco 49ers are, without a doubt, still the best football team in the Pacific Coast. However, an emerging quarterback controversy could hurt their chances of making it deep into the playoffs unless resolved.

The defensive side is much more stable, with Pro Bowlers Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, and Talanoa Hufanga manning every area, and it could be the glue that keeps this team together amidst turmoil in the offense.
