49ers overreactions: Could it be core’s last shot at Super Bowl glory? originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The Super Bowl-or-bust wagon is heading out on another long journey of nearly seven months.
It starts out the same as always.
The 49ers and their fan base have every reason to believe this is going to be the season. Optimism oozes out of Santa Clara at the opening of training camp, just like it does at a number of other team headquarters around the NFL.
And, certainly, all the pieces are in place for another deep playoff run. The 49ers have advanced to the NFC Championship Game in four of the past five seasons. But two Super Bowl appearances have yet to produce the organization’s sixth Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Is this it for this team? Is it an overreaction to believe this is the final shot for this team?
Maybe. Maybe not.
That topic is a good place to start for the first 49ers overreactions of the 2024 NFL season.

Overreaction: No.
It is not an overreaction to believe certain veteran players might not be around next season.
Heck, the 49ers moved on from Arik Armstead in the offseason and were prepared to release Kyle Juszczyk if he did not accept a dramatic payout. Those two standouts qualify as part of the “core” during the Kyle Shanahan-John Lynch regime.
So while other to-be-determined players might not be around beyond this season, it does not mean this is the last chance for the 49ers to win a Super Bowl. The 49ers are not going to completely flip the roster from one year to the next, so while some core players might go, many others will still be around.
And you said it yourself: “They will still be contenders.”
And as long as a team fits into the category of “contender,” there is a chance to deliver the hardware.
The 49ers are fine without B.A, and will race…
