Faulk was the key to everything in STL. Kevin Jones and Tatum Bell were no where close to being a good enough RB for Martz's system. Gore is better, but is it enough?
Martz has earned a lot of criticism but he's at his best as an OC. He is by no means flawless but I bet if you asked Clancy, he doesn't relish the idea of going against him. His track record with QB's is hard to debate too. Consider that Green, Warner, Bulger and Kitna were all low round/undrafted/castoffs. If Smith is even remotely deserving of his draft spot, it will be the choicest starting point that Martz has had to work with. SF won't have the same trouble running the ball that Detroit had and Martz has utilized RB's very well in the past. His reputation isn't necessarily deserved in that regard. Faulk, Canidate and Jackson all did pretty well under Martz. Not good news for NFC West defenses.

I think Clancy had his shot at Martz this year with a much more accomplished QB and much better weapons. And i think we handed him his a$$.
Color me not worried.

I like it. SF offensive line will have to vastly improve if there's going to be any hope for smith/hill. The offensive line sucked in pass protection giving up 55 sacks this past season.

Well, Kevin Jones coming off of injury and a horrible o-line is going to be a little different than Gore in a Martz offense. Gore is already a stud and the most successful offenses under Martz have been with a good RB. I didn't like Kitna in that system either. There are a lot of "if's" that go along with this but I see it as a very potential problem for the Card's defense.

Possible that Michael Robinson, the converted Penn State QB, will get some slot back time. They will now need WRs via the draft/FA.
