One got hurt. One looks promising very early but its early the other two are young but mid round picks. Deebo is1 year low money and we know he fits. You just dont want it to become a spot where they start force feeding him due to nostalgia.
And we used draft capital on a player who didn't miss a single college game in 5 years of play. Comes to the bay, gets shot in the chest and gets a nagging knee injury to sit more than play. Some chalk it up to the curse.
this is the work of concussed shanny it has to be

Definitely the concern I have.

I hope it works out well for both parties. It'll make the vets in the locker room happy, that's pretty clear.

Crazy to me that Deebo (and lots of other players) are said to be so old and slow at 30. 30! Jerry Rice had 1200 yards at age 40.
The league is way different and Rice was way different but to think that Deebo is supposed to be so washed when he is 30 is amazing how different everything is now.

As a 2nd or 3rd option I love this for $7 million in cap space.

Also terrifying that the Niners offence is built on:
CMC coming off his most touches ever
Kittle coming back from Achillies
Evans is old AF and coming back from injuries
Deebo supposed to be washed and had tons of wear and tear with SF
Juice who is old and slowing down
Trent Williams is old and slowing down
Rest of line is a little shaky and unknown
Tonges shows signs of being good but is not a big blocker
Cowing and Watkins showed some talent but never done anything and been injured
Pearsall shows flashes but may not play all season
Rookie Stribling
Rookie Black

That is one scary sounding offense. All goes well, they could dominate, or it could be a s**tshow with guys missing time all over the place and Brock running for his life.
Shanahan is going to have to paint a masterpiece. Oh and he is also beat to hell.

Because we have one guy probably out of the year and another guy we signed who's currently hurt.

what's the f**king problem? 1 yr up to $7m for a guy to come in who knows the scheme system? He wasn't dogs**t last yr, had 730 yards and 5 tds on a team that ran trash plays and the QB was hurt all yr.

It's always the typical few posters that consistently cry about everything they do….that s**t has to be exhausting at this pt. Go be a fan elsewhere and save yourself the constant outrage.

Ah the fan police. The book on how to be a fan by NYniner95.

Unfortunately, your opinions lack credibility after the BA thread.

Deebos last year as a 49er was garbage. Instead of getting younger and developing players we choose old retreads. He cant run routes, isnt fast,and has to be schemed open.
He won't be asked to do as much as before. I could see him settling the punt and kick returner jobs for starters. He's pretty good at it. He'll keep his weight down as he can't get lazy.

Agreed. Any word on what # he will be wearing?

Deebo isnt known for coming into camp in shape.

we arent asking him to be a superstar anymore i am fairly confident he can be a huge contributor plus he brings a lot of attitude and positive vibes and is pretty good locker room guy for us. As a #2/3 WR i really like the signing. Especially because i think this pushes Stribling outside to the flanker role. Deebo should be the big slot role

He is a huge part of our recent history and success and deserves a ring with us
Agree with all of these.

I'm plenty objective.

deebo at $15M per and supposedly the lifeline of the offense. F**k no.

deebo at a $7M (MAX) as a WR 2/3 that can contribute. F**k yes.

I have plenty of posts saying what they're doing is s**t. I can be objective based on the scenario. I'm not a whiny hater like some on here over everything. S**t is stale and being negative over everything must be exhausting.

and what about the BA thread? He's was a god damn good WR. Young and at that pt never got hurt and was getting better. Forgive me I didn't know he was gonna go awol and do some weird s**t that no player has ever done before. OH and guess what I'm not running around defending him after the fact. Wow look at that.

And what credibility do you have? we already know how you feel about everything. Oh no, TD doesn't like the 49ers have done. Shocker

Feel like Stribling and Deebo are both interchangeable with that slot/flanker role.

we got our vibe back on offense with Deebo. A yr away and he got humble and wants to finish what they started here. No one should be mad about this signing on 7/31 and Ricky possibly out for at least the first 6 weeks

My biggest concern with this signing is Speed. Is Deebo fast enough to get separation we all know that was the big problem last season with the WR position.

I really wanted to see Evans, Pearsall, Stribling 3 WR set out there because I felt they could be incredibly dangerous vs zone or man and complimented each other incredibly well.

Deebo isn't as good as Pearsall at this point and not as fast. Clearly a downgrade vs man looks but considering what is usually available at this point in the season you can't do much better in terms of fit, locker room addition and scheme knowledge.

We'll see which Deebo we get soon but a motivated Deebo is certainly a great depth piece given his versatility. He may not be Deebo from 2019 or 2021 but he's still got insane burst. Deebo actually has ELITE 10 yard split. Faster than Xavier Worthy which is absolutely insane considering Deebo has like 40+ lbs on the guy.

It's also why I feel strongly that we better hope Deebo is not being played as WR1/WR2. If he's out there with Evans and Strib his presence is actually huge. Those 2 big bodies with speed can clear out a lot(especially if you have CMC and Kittle out there) having Deebo there could give you some huge YAC opportunities.

There isn't a single poster in the WZ that values what you have or say….we already know how you feel about everything. Oh no, TD doesn't like the 49ers have done. Shocker

So mouthy.

It doesnt really matter nor do i care whether i get consensus. I am going to call balls and strikes.

This is a strike, forget about who he was or the susposed discount, he is not anything he once was, which was 2023....the last season he did anything worth mentioning. We just got slower and worse at the WR position. The 49ers have used valuable draft capital at the WR position and have seen little return to this point. This only impedes that development, they need reps and if they are not good enough to get on the field then thats another strike. The solution to missed draft picks at WR is Deebo Samuel.....its ridiculous.

I dont need to explain the non sense you spewed in the BA thread.
