Guys...let's keep this to Kyle Shanahan. We definitely don't need Alex vs Kap debates in 2026.

Agree. It's crazy that it was almost 15 years ago. Time flies. With that said, this may be the best receiver room Kyle has ever had. If Kittle returns to form, I'm curious to see what the offense will look like verses a dominant D-line/defense.

it has the celling to be for sure. But it would require a lot of players to hit their ceiling early. Evans is an amazing WR but there is no doubt he is in the twilight of his career. Persall imo is a great WR who has produced when healthy but has gotten a bit unlucky and stribling is a rookie

It is so much better than last year but im not sure it is better than the Deebo Aiyuk and JJ when Brock first got his start. We were averaging like 30+ppg then. We can do that again i have faith but i think it will take a few weeks

Those 30ppg was also due to stout defense. If our defense can makes stops like they did back then, those 30ppg will be back

If you are referring to 2022, our defense was elite- we had DeMeco calling plays. The consensus was also that Deebo was awful that year and Aiyuk only had just cracked 1000 yards.

I think Evans can equal Aiyuk in 2022. It isn't asking for a lot to expect the rest of the receiver room to be better. Brock is better. The only potential decline is with CMC, but hopefully the RB room as a whole looks much better (hopefully we have better run blocking).
Hoping to see some genuine innovation and new wrinkles this year. As well as incorporating more pure drop back passing now that we have Evans.

ya super stoked to see how evans is incorporated into the offense, maybe it will look more like the 2016 falcons

After a torn achilles that's easier said than done. I love Kittle though he's such a tough competitor
