It doesn’t sound as if the 49ers are going to cut ties with struggling kicker Jake Moody in the offseason. The way Kyle Shanahan spoke about him Thursday, they might not even give him training camp competition.

When the San Francisco 49ers used a third-round pick to draft Jake Moody last year, the hope was it would settle their kicking position for years to come.

The 49ers' disastrous season continued in Week 16 against the Dolphins. Jake Moody bore the brunt of Kyle Shanahan's criticism.

Jake Moody missed another critical field goal on Sunday. He missed it in the third quarter of the 49ers' 29-17 loss to the Dolphins. At the time, the 49ers were trailing 16-10. The game was close. And so was the field goal -- just a 41-yarder.
