That's how horrible the team was. Despite 10 good to decent players that have been coached up since then.

Like I said, Pioli has done a decent job of rounding out the team in a short period of time.
But depth is stuff that puts you over the top. Playmakers are what put you in the Super Bowl. What Herm Edwards handed Pioli/Haley was a core of terrific young players, a bunch of easy-to-cut veterans, and a squeaky clean cap situation.
Herm inherited a much, much shittier situation than Haley did. He inherited a roster full of 10 years of failed drafts and a bunch of 35 year old starters.
