Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Niners fans and fans across the country. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/EFIUQ7\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up here<\/a> to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The San Francisco 49ers\u2019 season isn\u2019t over. The team is hoping they play deep into January. A couple of more wins, and we might see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninersnation.com\/san-francisco-49ers-analysis\/154813\/injury-updates-tatum-bethune-will-miss-the-playoffs-fred-warner-could-return-if-the-49ers-win-twice\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fred Warner on the field again<\/a>. Instead of playing the hypothetical game, let\u2019s look back on a season that was.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Let\u2019s be clear, the 49ers were supposed to be a playoff team this season. But that\u2019s because the defense was supposed to do its part with Nick Bosa and Fred Warner leading the charge. The offense was supposed to get back Brandon Aiyuk around midseason, and he would have rounded into form by now and become a 1-2 punch with Ricky Pearsall, with George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey to form an explosive and efficient offense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">None of that happened. The Niners overcame a rash of injuries en route to a 12-win season. They had a conference-best 9-3 record, went 7-2 away from home, and did it without several star players along the way. Regardless of what happens in the playoffs, making the postseason after everything they endured this season feels like a successful year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There are plenty of counterarguments. The development has taken a backseat, largely due to injuries. Robert Saleh has needed to patch holes on a weekly basis. Mykel Williams didn\u2019t get the opportunity to learn on the fly. Alfred Collins has had a couple of splash plays, but the production wasn\u2019t there in Year 1. You worry about the health moving forward of each of the best players on the roster. Outside of Upton Stout, there are question marks in the secondary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">With all of that said, would you consider this season a success? What are your arguments and counterarguments?
