08:01 AM ET 08.08 | After a season of significant change, personnel may dictate a changed offensive personality in San Francisco. The three top QBs on the training camp roster -- Alex Smith, Colin Kaepernick, and Jeremiah Masoli -- are all most comfortable throwing the ball from the shotgun. Each guy played strictly in shotgun or shotgun-like offenses in college. Smith ran the spread, Kaepernick ran the pistol, and Masoli ran the option. ... My gut feeling is [Jim Harbaugh] and Roman's offense will not look like a classic West Coast offense, it will look like something new and innovative. I'm talking about shotgun play-action plays and designed quarterback runs to keep the defense off balance, things more associated with college offenses.

If they have lots of planned quarterback running plays, they would be wise to keep all three quarterbacks on the active roster. They should also have David Carr on speed dial because they're going to be running through bodies at the position.

Unless they figure on protecting better than last year, the QB will be running on every snap whether it's planned or not.

I just offered a sugar cube to my screen.
On another note, methinks the 49ers will get prison-raped without mercy this year. It should be fun to watch.

It should be fun to watch from the other team's bench, yeah.
On a related note, the Kevin Kolb Kontingent will point to his games against the Niners to show what a great acquisition he was for Arizona, despite their 6-10 record this season.

They've already got a cheerleading squad. Pick up a marching band and they'll be all set.

Harbaugh should still have a connection or two to the Stanford band. They'd probably be more interesting to watch than the Niners.
