There are no style points for winning. In today's sports it is about winning, albeit winning within the rules. Why do you think there are so many GM and coach openings today. The 49ers are not the only ones with a problem. It's unfortunately endemic.
Not even Yankee fans had the temerity to complain about style points.
I wonder what the fans will say if they bottom out next year: "we lost with class"?
Good point about winning at all costs in this day and age, sad but true.
I don't think that they that we will say "we lost with class" but there is something be to said about losing without a roster full of criminals. The way Harbaugh Handled Aldon Smith fiasco did it for me. Now we are hearing that he also wanted to keep McDonald on the roster after he was accused of sexual assault but had no clout left and was already halfway out the door.
The worst stat as a Niner fan in 2014, there were more 49ers arrested than Raiders.
It reminds me of Suh, I have a heck of a lot more respect for organizations that pass on him as opposed to those who ignore his antics simply because it means more wins.
