I'm a Bengals fan and had to give this one a bit of thought. With a week of dedicated preparation I think McCarron can be very effective. I worry about the picks, but liked the fact that he came out slinging the ball last week when he came in rather than being overly conservative with the play calling. I don't disagree with your desire for the defense to pick up the slack, but I think it's time for Jeremy Hill to end what I'll call his 'extended off season'.
With Eifert out, if Hill doesn't make an impact the 49ers can sit back in Cover 2 and make it a very long day for the Bengals' offense. The 49ers are near the bottom in run defense so I'm optimistic.
