San Francisco 49ers owner and team president Jed York summed it up in early February as he looked back at the selection of quarterback Alex Smith with the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2005.
“If I knew that we were going to go through five offensive coordinators in his first five years, I never would have had us take Alex,” York said. “It hasn’t been fair to him or to the team.”
Hindsight is a great teacher. There’s no way for the 49ers to have known that they would go through Mike McCarthy, Norv Turner, Jim Hostler, Mike Martz and now Jimmy Raye. Fortunately, Raye is sticking around for a second season.
