If either Alex Smith or Shawn Hill even approach proficiency (and Hill did that last year), I think you're grossly underestimating the upside this season. Players are going to play for Singletary-he's let it be known it's not an option. They finished with a good taste of hopeful anticipation last season and they are hungry to prove something.

The 49ers have a slightly easier schedule than last year and they will be better than last year so i would say 9-7 maybe 10-6. They will give the Cards more of a run this year, just watch.

Rams should be much better [just like they all say about their teams] I'm hoping for 9-7

Karney @ FB to block for Jackson & Bulger
Brown @ Center fixes a blaring need.
Butler @ Safety is an upgrade over aging Chavois
J. Smith 1st round RT will help protect Bulger & open holes for Jackson.
Laurinaitis @ MLB should be exciting & allows Will Witherspoon to return to natural WLB.
Billy D., Spags, Flajole & Shurmerare a huge improvement in FO & all aspects of coaching.

Seahawks will not be that bad.

Those seem pretty plausible. As a 49ers fan I'd agree that they will be good, just not quite yet.
