The greatest player in franchise history is not a fan of 49ers coach Chip Kelly’s offense.
Jerry Rice was watching as the 49ers lost 21-10 to the Packers on Friday night, and Rice didn’t like what he saw. It’s hard to blame him, as the 49ers’ four quarterbacks combined for just 61 passing yards.
So Rice went on Twitter and wrote, “I’m watching Niners vs Packers and hate the Read Option Offense. Can we bring back old football?
“I’m not bashing the Niners,” Rice continued. “It throws the timing off. No rhythm. Great players need chemistry and timing!”
Kelly would be quick to point out that calling his system “the Read Option Offense” is a misnomer. But Rice’s eyes were not deceiving him on Friday night. Whatever you call it, Kelly’s offense looked awful.
