A Glimpse of Hope From 20 years Ago

Jan 4, 1987

49ers vs. NYG NFC divisional playoffs

Joe Montana- 8 for 15 no tds 2 ints qb rating of 34.2

-- 49ers lose 49-3

Jan 9, 1988

Minnesota Vikings vs. 49ers NFC divisional playoffs

Joe Montana- 12 for 26 no tds 1 int qb rating of 42.0

--Montana benched at halftime 49ers lose 24-36

So what did the 49ers do after 1988? They could of just sat Joe for future HOF Steve Young and gone on. But no, they stuck with Joe and went on to win 2 consecutive superbowls in 1989 and 1990.

I am not trying to compare Jake to Joe, but if those days can happen to Joe, they can happen to anyone.

Keep your head up Jake.

Seriously for the people saying that we can't blame this loss on just one person please come out of your state of denial. This loss was Jake's fault, plain and simple. You can't win a game with SIX turnovers from one player. He didn't give the team a chance to win, which he admitted, so most of the blame goes on Jake.

In most losses it is difficult to pick out one person who is largely at fault for the loss, but in this game it is completely obvious. For our other four losses this season you can't pick out one person who single-handedly lost us the game, but that is not the case this time. Six turnovers from one player = game over.

Jake Delhomme isn't Joe Montana. Comparing them is just silly. We need the running game to return and the defense to be restructured to be champions next season.

thank you for being a realist. lets just face the facts folks...we got our arses handed to us in our own building...BY THE F'N CARDINALS! are you kidding me AHHHHH!

got someone else we forget about

Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers went into the divisional round against the Rams. Favre threw SIX interceptions, three of which were returned for touchdowns. It happens to the best of quarterbacks.

it wasent our year Plain and simple.

Folks just need to get over it and reflect on the good stuff from 08.

I read a post from you this week saying the exact opposite.

-- Not trying to call you out, but the point is a lot of people thought it was our year(including you) and thats why last night is a tad bit hard to get over.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
