Please dont' bring that up. 49er fans were frustrated enough with that thought process.

Nolan wanted a run heavy, strong D team with a QB who minimizes mistakes. Basically what Jim Harbaugh was able to accomplish. The problem was he drafted a QB #1 overall in order to do it.

Always thought they should've traded down and went defense and just let Tim Rattay be the game manager til they could get another QB.

Oh well...it turned out ok.
