that's what I'm thinking. Could be a lack of practice time between the two. They really need to use Edwards in the redzone.

It's because people saw/remembered only highlights.
For example, 1988 wasn't a pretty year. The 49ers struggled early in the season was 6-5 before they found their rhythms. The loss against the Bears was a slugfest bore with the 49ers falling 10-9. Montana had a terrible day completing 13 of 29 attempts. Young made an "awesome" pass play that gained 1 yard. The only thing memorable about the game against Minnesota the following week was the famed Steve Young run to save the 49ers from another defeat. The next game against the Cardinals was an ugly loss with the 49ers blowing their comfortable 23-0 lead by yielding 24 unanswered points to the opponent.
Exactly. The 1981 and 1988 Super Bowl years were definitely not pretty every week.

Maybe they are saving it for the right situation?

Could be but i just don't buy that. How do you know you can execute it if you never try it? Rodgers throws the same back shoulder pass to Greg Jennings every week and the whole world knows it but you can't stop it b/c it's executed properly. Them connecting on fade patterns would open up the whole offense in the red zone.
