Do we have the worst WR depth in the league?

You heard it here first.

He should be first on the "Outta the Team" Chart

No surprise.

Dude wants to be pro photographer, plays football like a pro photographer would.

How can Kendrick Bourne overtake anybody? He's awful. His hands are just terrible. But Pettis is pretty bad and soft too. It's not a good situation.....

Obviously Goodwin isn't sniffing the same type of white powder that AB is.

Dwelley is a good football player with outstanding hands. Something our WR corps lacks. What he lacks is speed. He is a perfect #2 TE with Kittle providing the speed and breakaway ability.

I keep hearing how bad Bourne is but he caught a TD and a 2 point conversion. He had one really bad drop and another that was thrown really high. He is one of the only big targets we have at wide receiver. Until Hurd shows he can be that guy or we find someone else he is one of our best options. If we draft someone else or Hurd gets healthy and steps up then we let Bourne go.

I have no problem if they bring in Dez for a look but don't expect much. He's been out for 2 years and lost any speed he had so he can't separate any more. Returning to the NFL after being out for 2or more years is really tough since your body isn't used to the contact any more. It's like people saying Kap is better than some of the guys in the league now. Maybe he was but to much moss on him now.

Don't stop my anger and frustration by being reasonable!

Starting to think that bringing in AB wouldn't be the end of the world. He apparently wants to be here. Yes he's not ideal but put his locker next to Sherm's and give it a go. My biggest fear now is that with all these injuries, the only guys remaining are 100% finesse guys and the better more physical teams will eat us alive unless we can grab a WR with experience and good hands.

It's not optimal at all and if we weren't one of the better teams in the league, I wouldn't even bring this option up. But our WR's stink! I'm willing to roll the dice even if we have to baby sit AB. Put him on a short leash and if he screws up, cut him.

Worst WR corps would be a dead tie between the Niners and Raiders.

As you mention, put his locker next to Sherman's...and, doesn't Jerry Rice say good things and is close w/ Brown? Maybe having Jerry around Brown could help. I'm grasping at straws and am not completely serious since Brown seems like such a head case...this WR corps needs to start making plays that are there for the taking!

He might have CTE though.

Nobody's signing him until the league states he wouldn't be on the ineligible list.

Sorry haven't been following his drama. What has he done to merit being on the ineligible list??

Jerry maybe about a month ago or so said AB lied to him about being serious about playing for the 49ers as evidenced by what he did in Oakland to get out of his contract to go play where he wanted to all along and is disappointed in him.

We are in WR desperation mode. I understand he is a poor teammate, extreme head case, and at odds with Sanders. Still, we've had this in the past and were very successful with Haley. Not as much without him.

If the cap fits and he's able to play, I say sign him. Would it be legally binding to put that clause in to say the contract is pending his availability in 2019, if not it will be null and void?

We looked like absolute crap out there without Kittle and Sanders. I'd rather have him and all his baggage than what I saw on offense last night.

I thought he was meeting the league last, or was it this week? Does that determine his eligibility?
