So, whatever happened to Quinton Patton?The 49ers' rookie wide receiver, a fourth-round pick from Louisiana Tech, missed the first two preseason games this summer, but then exploded in the final two, showing good hands, breakaway ability and a knack for getting open.Now, after the 49ers have lost two straight games and the offense has looked anything but dynamic, it's obvious quarterback Colin Kaepernick is looking downfield for another receiver besides Anquan Boldin to get open.As Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle has noted, among wide receivers Boldin has 19 catches in three games, Kyle Williams has nine, Marlon Moore has one and Patton and Jon Baldwin – acquired in a trade from Kansas City in August – have none.The team went into training camp looking for a No. 2 wideout to pair with Boldin, and it appeared San Francisco had found a variety of options with Williams, Moore, Patton and Baldwin.
