Nobody said that. The argument is that it's not always the receivers. Both the QB and the receiver are part of the play. Passes will not always be perfectly thrown in which case the receiver makes a great catch or it's incomplete. If it's thrown perfectly (like that 3rd down pass to Bourne) then it's on the receiver. He owned the mistake after the game. They don't waste time pointing fingers at each other because they know they are human. Guys drop passes, miss blocks and tackles and QBs miss wide open receivers with overthrows. It happens every week in every game.
Only "perfectly thrown" passes that are dropped are "on the receiver?"

And like I said, he owned that drop after the game. He said he should have had it and they could have run the clock out after that. If the ball isn't thrown perfectly, doesn't the QB deserve some of the criticism? He's getting paid just like all the rest of the players.
There really isn't an argument here. Everyone knows that all receivers sometimes drop catchable balls and all QBs miss throws. The Niners are no different than any other team.
