Whiners might have the most complete roster in the division for now. If Jimmy G can stay healthy (spoiler: he can't) that team will easily make the playoffs.
I disagree about the roster talent. On defense, this team is absolutely loaded. Guess what they were the top D in the NFL. The Niner D wasn't even ranked in the top 10. This team lost to the Niners because of two reasons. An indecisive QB leading to inconsistent play, and weakness in the O-line that were exploited. The Rams now have an elite vet at QB, incredible depth at WR and got rid of the worst lineman (Blythe). There were many times where Goff had time and open receivers that he missed either by poor accuracy or simply not reading the D properly.
Snead & McVay have done very well in building this roster. The o-line isn't the weakness it was in 2019 and the QB issue has been resolved. How many future HOF players are on the Niner roster right now? The Rams have 2 locks (AD & Ramsey) and another on his way to being one (Stafford).
What I can say about the Niners is that up to now they have been positionally outcoached by the Niners. IMO Carberry's impact can't be understated. He knows how to coach up young guys. If he can get them to play as a top 5 unit, this offense will be one of the best in the NFL. I have confidence in Morris to have the D playing in top form. He's never had such talent as he has now. I believe he will play a more traditional 3-4 hybrid and he has the players to do it. If they are even just a top 5 unit (top 3 likely) this is a true Super Bowl roster with no real holes.
Everyone overblows the ILB situation. But in reality it's a less than 50% position. Reeder and Kiser have been fine with Reeder being under rated by most. He only started the last 7 games but his stats reveal just how good he has played. He garnered 53 solo tackles with 28 assists, 5 TFL, 3 sacks, 2 PD, 4 QB hits. all while playing only 41% of the defensive snaps. I don't know what more you can ask or expect from a 2nd year UDFA who clearly outplayed the starter Kiser.
