49ers looks to beef up passing offense led by QB Smith
Monterey County Herald, CA - 8 hours ago
SANTA CLARA, Calif.—Once known for their prolific passing attack, the San Francisco 49ers are coming off the two worst statistical finishes in the franchise's 61-year history.
The 49ers ranked 29th in the NFL in passing offense last season after finishing 32nd in the league—dead last—the season before. While breaking in a young quarterback with a revolving set of receivers, the team struggled to maintain any kind of legitimate threat through the air.

But times have changed. And now the Niners intend to become a passing team again.

"We definitely have the capability," quarterback Alex Smith said Thursday. "It's not going to be something like the Indianapolis Colts, but we've added people and have the ability to throw the ball. This team's talking about accomplishing a lot and we have to be able to throw the ball in order to do that."

So are the 49ers more likely to finish in the top 10 in passing offense this year? Or in the bottom 10, as they have the past two seasons?

they are more likely to finish closer to the top 10, but i don't think they will crack it.
