Deebo Samuel-WR-South Carolina

The problem with this is that Deebo is a precedent setter. Deebo isn't just a WR who's great at running back, too. He's a guy that confuses defenses. Him being able to be a threat outside, in the slot, as a runner on outside zone, as a runner on inside zone, as a route runner from the backfield, and as a decoy itself (and a double decoy when he is designed to LOOK like a decoy but actually is the main event, like the 3rd and 7 run against Green Bay), you force the defense to react to you and not dictate.

That's more valuable than simply being called "wide receiver."

If he takes that away by demanding to be a tradition WR, then his value sinks, IMO.

Without that guessing game, he and the team he's playing for suffers statistically.

I'm not convinced he'd be a marquee traditional WR.

Are they trading Deebo or are they going to hold him hostage?

You know what's the cause of all the problems in this deebo drama?

JIMMY G.

He's the main and #1 reason why the 9ers didn't make the SB and could have won it this past season. The reason why it was a harder road just to get to the NFCC championship. Why the 9er loss the SB few years ago. And why they don't have the money yet to pay deebo. Even Jimmy G himself knows it LOL!!!! Same reason why Tyreek and Davante left KC AND GB, their QB is hogging all the money, greed, that is the status of the NFL today.

Dear lord.
Please stop.

This whole saga is weak as hell. Sending cryptic messages via social media to get what you want is what passive aggressive children do. I guess thats how things get done in the age of Gen Z.

In any case, whether he stays or goes I don't care either way anymore.

Or…. Extend Deebo and cut Jimmy once he's healthy.

that makes to much sense to the haters of deebo and is against the law to the lovers of jimmy

Can't extend someone who doesn't want to bed here, not unless he has a change of heart.

Not til I hear him come out and say that will I believe it.

He already came out and said it imo... he asked to be traded.. he didn't ask for x amount of dollars to be paid.. he asked to get the heck outta here..

Yeah then he made a post about how reporters job is to make stories. That was actually something he said. The demanding a trade was a reporter saying he said that. But it doesn't fit your narrative I know

49erFaithful6's narrative is to overpraise Lance sarcastically because he's still salty about Jimmy failing to live up to the hope we all had in 2017.

I don't think the Niners will trade Deebo. No way Kyle signs off on that. I think they'll dump Jimmy, give Deebo his money, spend an early pick on a RB and agree to not use Deebo as a running back with the exception of a few gadget plays. We need to patch this relationship because Deebo is too special.

He probably feels like he would still be elite playing as a traditional WR and that our initial offers were essentially punishing him for being so versatile and willing to do whatever the coaches asked him to.

Hated his b******t off the field nonsense, noodle arm, lack of athletic ability, being propped up by elite everything etc What he did this yr was what I expected out of him and overall it wasn't amazing at all. Game manager who isn't gonna be able to hang with the elite QBs when he has too.

OH and he has a real punchable face. He's perfect for Boston ( I do actually prefer Boston to NYC)

Except he put his team in position to beat Brady in Primetime except his kicker missed a FG. Gave his team the lead late versus Dak only to lose in OT. He beat Justin Herbert.

I think he proved he can hang with the elite

Yep and he was the most elite WR in the NFL until they moved him to the backfield role part time.

I actually came in here to post something similar. I dont want to trade Deebo, but would much rather do this trade than trade him for draft picks.
