Originally posted by NinerGM:I don't buy it one but that Beathard is working with WRs that he doesn't have chemistry with. The only starting WR not playing is Goodwin. Although JG got most of the snaps through game 3, Beathard still had snaps with the #1s and maybe that was the case before starting, but if anything Beathard played with these guys last year too. Beathard doesn't have an issue with "confidence" the problem is that the WRs aren't getting open and his window for throwing someone open takes longer.... which begs the question that we asked this off-season and even into the early part of this year.... you can't just be "like these guys" because it's clear there are a lot of deficiencies. I know Kyle is saying that you "don't need a Julio Jones" but damn, the time his offense was lights-out was when he had one. Maybe this philosophy should be reconsidered.
His offense was lights out when he had healthy players across the offense.
This FO could tell the difference between a diamond and some coal if it was sitting in an engagement ring.

but he did though. Spin it however you want.
