SANTA CLARA — Kendrick Bourne, passes are still coming your way.
Dante Pettis, welcome back to the doghouse.
That’s one way to interpret the message 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan delivered in the wake of Monday night’s 27-24 overtime defeat, in which Bourne and Pettis each had a pair of untimely drops.
These are not new issues. The 49ers’ young receivers, including rookie Deebo Samuel and second-year slot man Richie James Jr., have been inconsistent in their ball-catching ability, as has veteran Marquise Goodwin, whose third-down drop at the 8-yard line on Monday’s opening series set the tone for a bad night by the receiving corps.
