Quarterback Brian Hoyer has a 60. 7 passer rating that puts one of his predecessors, Blaine Gabbert, in a good light and makes another, Colin Kaepernick, look like an all star.
Through two games the 49ers rank last in the NFL in total offense, passing yards per attempt and third-down efficiency. They and the Bengals are the only teams that have yet to score a touchdown in 2017. And after Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, they will head out on three straight road trips, the last two in the eastern time zone.
Time to hit the panic button?
