It seems pretty clear that our WR group needs upgrading. We might be able to get by with them for the rest of this season, but they could also cost us when it counts. So if we wanted to try and bring someone else in, who are our options? It seems like there's two groups.. older vets currently not on teams, and young guys we could poach off another team's practice squad. None of the vets really seem like good options to me. Maaaaaaybe Crabtree but I'm not sure what he's got left. Two options I'd be open to are Deon Cain (off the Colts PS) and Lil'Jordan Humphrey (off the Saints PS). Cain was supposedly in line to start and then ended up getting waived. Not a great sign... but there had been a lot of positive buzz about him. I think my favorite, for a few reasons, is Lil'Jordan Humphrey. Obviously, his name and potential for great TD calls are appealing. But he's also a big WR who seems to be able to high point the ball pretty well. Both things I'd like to see on our roster. And finally... he's on the Saints and would be a great source of info on their plays. Seems like a win win to me. Who else could the 9ers go after at this point in the season?

Much rather re-sign Aldrick Robinson and I think they should.

I was just thinking of a veteran who could come in and be a decent stop gap till the end of the season and he knows Shanahan's offense.

We should have never OVERDRAFTED PETTIS (like I said at the time!), and shud have kept Aldrick Robinson. Wouldn't he help us now???

Robinson did develop some kind of chemistry with Garroppolo. Better than Pettis anyway.

It wasn't just an overdraft. It's that desire to actually do better. Pettis is like an 9 to 5 kind of guy. He probably does what he's told because it's his job, but that's the extent of it. Nothing extra while on the clock. Definitely not doing anything before or after. Therefore, less talented guys are passing him up. What's the saying, hard work beats talent when talent don't work?

I agree, very much so. I hated them letting him go (Robinson). But, if we had got Pettis in the 3rd. or 4th (as he was projected) , instead of giving up so much to move up to get him in the 2nd. , I'd be ok with where he is now, but we "jumped ahead" (of who IDK) to lock in on perceived value in Pettis. And with that came expectations from us and them. He has made some clutch catches, and maybe if he can save a game or two for us going forward, he can vanquish dat cloud over his head. Until then,,,, damn!!, just damn

I think Kyle sees the potential of his system and skillsets. And best off that potential is where he values guys. After being by Joe Williams and Dante Pettis, i hope he's learned.
