Andre Johnson played with David Carr though, who was pretty terrible, then later Matt Schaub.

I don't think anyone knows how good Brock Purdy is, he could be franchise or he could be just a game manager but he's good in Shanahan's offense. I'd take him over Carr or Schaub.

Matt Schaub was a really solid pure passer when he had time and targets. He’s actually pretty close to Purdy, IMO.

Have a long-time work associate whose kid is a college QB and has gone to a lot of these NFL sponsored camps and knows some players around the league (through another venture). Have heard that the SF coaches and the SF front-office aren't on the same page. Receivers get traded (or drafted) to SF and wind up dealing with coaches that publicly despise them and act petty (Shannahan and his shills)...Now that Kyle won the power struggle and the lead guy for their front-office is out it's his show in SF. I personally think he gets humbled and drummed out of SF in three years (or less). Kyle Shannahan has no clue how to evaluate talent and hasn't worked his way up the ranks like his Dad.

Kadarius Toney FTW!

It's weird how Aiyuk and Rice are almost identical in terms of size/measurables and yet Rice is a YAC machine like Deebo.

The thing is, I think Rice can be a much better route runner than Deebo, even though I don't think he will ever quite separate like Aiyuk.

Just give it time.

We used him in a very niche role last season. I think going forward he'll be used more like we used Sammy when he was healthy.

And while I think there may need to be some additional polishing of his technique (primarily footwork from what I can see), I think he'll eventually be an above average separator.

A guy that can pull away from angles like he can with the ball in his hands can absolutely get separation out of a break. It's not like he's a long-strider that's easy to read.

He has good compact strides and fast feet. I'd be surprised if he can't become more and more dangerous in the intermediate parts of the field. And sooner or later they WILL unleash him downfield where he can use that body control to simply take balls away like Higgins does.

I still maintain that he has genuinely elite body control. We just didn't see it put to use a lot last season. But when you remember stuff like that back shoulder catch he made against the Raiders (I think) deep in our own territory - that's the kind of stuff you have to be a bit special to do well.

And he is.

I say we trade Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore to Pittsburgh for 2 cheeseburgers and a ham sandwich.

Pittsburgh can then package them to SF in a 2 receivers for one swap? LMAO

I’d trade Skyy for Pickens straight up…..

So he’s staying huh? This is what sucks about being a reporter. Rickey absolutely had the Steelers stuff right, but shit changed at the last minute and if he stays the trolls will say Rickey sucks and never knew anything

So then they gonna get out of Deebo's deal?

The 49ers have so many issues with money at this point.

Just play the void year game like the Eagles have done with all of their contracts.

Wow. Browns agreed to send Cooper, a 2nd, and a 5th for Aiyuk but Aiyuk wouldn't sign there long term.
