San Francisco 49ers: Chip Kelly gets Deshaun Watson

Of all the 32 NFL franchises, the San Francisco 49ers have to be the furthest from contending for a Super Bowl. Owner Jed York and general manager Trent Baalke have driven this once-proud NFC franchise into the ground … hard.

Despite losing 13 in a row, it would be shocking to not see head coach Chip Kelly back for a second season in Santa Clara. If York fires Kelly after one year, he’ll have made this organization the Browns of the NFC. No respectable head coaching candidate would even dare to take the 49ers job should it open up again in 2017.

Kelly has been labeled an offensive genius because of his time with the Oregon Ducks and the Philadelphia Eagles. So as terrible as the 2016 49ers have been, we have to believe Kelly can get this team headed in the right direction — as long as he drafts a legitimate starting quarterback. His draft stock has fallen a little, but Clemson’s Deshaun Watson has to be that quarterback.

Watson is an accurate, dual-threat quarterback that can play in a pro-style offense. He’d be the closest thing to Marcus Mariota Kelly will get to work with in the NFL. If Kelly and Watson are a match made in heaven for the 49ers organization, sure, they can win the Super Bowl next season.
