The reasons for the San Francisco 49ers shortcomings and failings the last few seasons are legion. A lack of depth, a lack of decent coaching, and an absolute lack of talent has doomed this proud franchise to the cellar – a place they are going to have a hard time escaping anytime soon. Especially if they can’t get competent quarterback play.
Nowhere has the glaring lack of talent, fit, and depth been more apparent for the 49ers than under center. The quarterback turmoil can’t all be put on Colin Kaepernick and Blaine Gabbert though – having to change coaches and systems three times in three years is going to have some negative blowback.
