I never feel good about a San Francisco 49ers loss, even when it comes down to Week 17 and there’s nothing tangible to fight for outside of draft positioning. When I saw fans suggesting that it was a good thing the 49ers lost to the Los Angeles Rams at the end of the day, I completely disagreed.
As it turns out, I’m in pretty good company. Former 49ers All-World safety Ronnie Lott was on KNBR following Thursday’s loss and he was incensed at the idea that the 49ers should be losing to get a better draft pick, as noted by Daniel Mano of the San Jose Mercury News.
