I'm with you and don't understand some of the angst. Sherfield looks really good… good enough to allow Kyle to grab Aiyuk by the short and curlies.

Kyle needs to find a better way to motivate players. His people skills needs work.

They are not even on the same level of WR. Trent is a solid KB replacement but he's nothing more than a number 3. Yuk is a legitimate WR1 with a coach who plays him.
Aiyuk is obviously more talented than Sherfield, but Sherfield is good enough that Kyle can afford to challenge Aiyuk.

Might as well trade him before Kyle kills his value. We should just draft more talentless WRs like Trent Taylor and Hurd. f**k guys who are good
I heard Gordon is cleared and eligible to play again in the NFL.

They cleared that boob again?

The NFL always has room for stars. As long as you don't commit a felony with the capital M, a little rehab and contrite apologies will get you back.

Couldn't disagree more. If it's true that he took that foot off the gas because he bought into all that off-season hype and thinks he "made it" while you have an UDFA who has busted his ass since entering the league and fought for everything he's got, the correct message was sent. This is such a cupcake sports world we live in now it's pathetic, these guys think they are owed everything. You let guys do that s**t and that's how you get the Antonio Brown diva type receivers. He already had a guy he had all that confidence in that let him and the team down because he never saw the need for "urgency", out of his own mouth, in Pettis. Can it be that Shanny learned from that and is trying to prevent that from happening again? That's what I think

Give me an AB type WR all day. I'm tired of "good hard working guys" and losing. f**k that. I want to win. I don't care what your attitude is or how lazy you are in practice if you are a gamer and you show up for the s**t that matters that's all I care about. I'll take a diva who puts up numbers over Trent Taylor's, Sanus, Trent Sherfields, Jalen Hurds, Kendrick Bournes all day everyday.
Just last week, Brandon Aiyuk was being penciled in as a 5 WR, now he's Dante Pettis with Antonio Browns attitude?!

What we have is a meritocracy. Sherfield has been excellent thus far this season

People seem to forget Aiyuk was on an absolute tear with garbage passing to him the last 6 full games he played. He was averaging 9 receptions per game for over 90 yards a game 94.6 yards/game) and almost a td (which was better than Jefferson) and was killing it the first part of camp. I Remember him whipping good number 1 cbs throughout the year as well.

Let the man play, he may need to work a little harder but we can easily lose a game or 2 bc our coach wanted to make an example out of him. That could mean the difference between winning the division or even a wild card.

I feel like telling Shanahan the line from die hard:

Hans! You motherf**ker, you made your point. Now let them pull back!

Kyle's dealt with great receives like Julio Jones, so I'm on his side.

I think Kyle made his point - now put him back in the starting lineup and let him play.
