Just remember - Cody Pickett once led the 49ers to victory, too. The 49ers' record that season? 4-12.Was it nice to see the 49ers win a game? Sure. But once the stadium was cleared out and the afterglow of the victory fades away, this game didn't help the organization in terms of the big picture.
The only thing the 49ers accomplished yesterday was dropping a few more notches in next year's draft order, making it more difficult to put themselves into position for finding their next franchise quarterback. I'd rather be 2-14 with a chance at a top draft pick than 5-11 in a continuing cycle of mediocrity.
That said, a few observations from the game...
- The 49ers put up 17 points against a terrible defense. No problems on offense were solved yesterday. Wait until they play an actual NFL defense.
- Why is Vance MacDonald still on the 49ers' roster? And, more importantly, why is he still getting balls thrown to him? Another terrible Baalke draft selection.
- Jerome Simpson? Gone. Another poor roster move by Baalke. A wide receiver with legal issues who cannot catch the ball.
- I tweeted this yesterday (which seems to have been deleted): Levi's Stadium security crew not recognizing Dwight Clark (on alumni day, no less) and forcing him to show his on-field credentials is the most 49ers thing ever during the York era. Clueless.
- Funny how the coaching staff, on a day that news "leaked" about how the 49ers will be done with Kaepernick after this year, installed a few naked bootlegs into the gameplan for Gabbert. You know, the types of plays that may have helped a running quarterback in the 49ers' offense the past month or so and were nowhere to be found.
- Lots of empty seats. Good to know that at least the concessions revenue will be down.
