Kirk went off for 110 yards and two touchdowns against Arkansas last weekend, but no such luck versus the Gamecocks on Saturday. The 5-foot-11, 200-pounder has been held to fewer than 50 yards receiving in three of five games this season. That comes with the territory of playing with a raw true freshman quarterback like Kellen Mond

That has to be frustrating for these receivers. Talent is clearly there but you can't do much if you're not getting the ball or not getting it where it has to be.

This. I hope people aren't just focused on the stats. This kid is a stud. You put him in a functional offense with a solid quarterback and just watch the talent take over.

Not a good time to need a #1 WR (which the Niners do).

i dont think we need to do that we just need some good WR garcon is a great WR
we just need some guys to spread the attention from him and can make plays themselves

It reminds me a lot of OBJ at LSU...the talent was there but they just didn't have the QB to get him the ball on a steady basis.

Good analogy. I was thinking the same thing earlier. I see this kid winning some hearts through the pre draft process.

Totally agree! I see some OBJ playmaking ability in this guy! I like Taylor in the slot but any catch by this guy could go to the house. Maybe put him on the outside with taylor in the slot, no way the defense could cover either one. If we don't get this kid I'd like Cobbs!

Dude gets open, he is dynamic with the ball in his hands but he also has concentration issues. Either that or his hands are only so-so

You're nuts

Kirk
Courtland Sutton
Calvin Ridley
James Washington
Antonio Callaway
Deon Cain

There isn't as much hype as some years but there is still some very good talent there.

None of them are even close to the talent level of Corey Davis. There's good depth, but the Niners need a Dez-like game-changing guy as a #1.

How wrong was this guy lol

Wrong guy to question. He has an unfathomable track record
