John Ross WR Washington | Page 3 | 49ers Webzone Forum

This kid is a threat to score every time he touches the ball, say the niners drafted him he would push Kerley next year for everything he does, slot WR, Return Duties, he's only a Jr so he might not come out, he's 5'11 190 lbs..reminds me of Santonio Holmes.

Me personally I'm not down on Smith..the niners signed him to be a number 2 WR and now he's a 1 bc the lack of talent in the roster..the world knows he breaks down defenses with his speed and deep routes, this is the 1st year he's running number 1 WR routes which seem to be out of character..get a legit number 1 and I'm sure Smith is better and back to him..plus he's being covered by the opposing teams best CB compared to their 2nd like normal which on a lot of teams is a huge difference..I'm not ready to give up on smith without seeing him with a number 1 WR on the field..

Nice that everyone hasn't lost their senses.

torrey smith isnt the problem its qb

smith is one of the best deep threats in the game thats what he is - expecting him to be a do it all wr is not what he does

Smith is a one trick pony who needs a qb that can throw the deep ball. He was perfect for Flacco. It's good to have a receiver with his skill set to spread the field unfortunately without a qb that can throw the deep ball accurately and not a ton of talent at the position to open it up for him either, his skill set is wasted on our team as of right now.

that's exactly what caught my eye with Ross and that was the main reason I compared the two. JR routes are as popolished as I've seen. he's unbelievable the more I saw the more I liked

Zero separation this game. Nothing but dinks and quick hitters to him.

CBs don't need to respect his deep threat, because Browning has no time.

And no arm.

Give Kizer a guy like Ross and he'd be able to use him well.

Agreed but he isn't getting open. A polished route runner in CFB is rare but he can't get separation

No doubt. Glad the Browning hype is dying a fiery death. So sick of hearing people go on about him.
