To answer your last question: I do not know. But this is not the first time Brock has not spotted Watkins for what would have been a TD. He did the same thing in the Commanders game. Watkins was wide open deep on the play in question. But, so was Kittle, who was the middle option. Ball went to Kittle. Still a completion. But not a TD.

Watkins did have a couple of moments in the Atlanta game. Then he had some other moments that were not as good. In Kyle's system, the WR makes the catch. No matter how tough it is. The WR is expected to make that catch. Watkins did have his moment to make that catch and score a TD. He did not make it. It was close. But, bottom line, he did not get it done. Until he starts making those impossible, contested catches, BP may never trust him.

He's talking about the completion to Watkins. A better thrown ball and it's probably a touchdown instead of just a big gain.

Could be an issue with time on task, maybe he doesn't trust him to run under a ball and make a great catch, didn't want to overthrow him and lose the completion. Think there was some pressure as well so he couldn't just rip it completely.

Also with the Kittle completion maybe he was earlier in the progression, you don't go yes #1 is open, let's check to see if #3 is as well, you let it rip. These are things that make Brock who he is, not saying you can't criticise but we should be extremely grateful for Brock.

Brock needs evans to be good Brock. 110 passer rating with him mid 70's without. Just like any qb, his numbers drop when his playmakers are not there. Get the man the tools he needs to do his job. I can careless about all the noise and the rankings and the bs system qb bs. It's rather simple. No qb is going to be great if he has nobody to throw the ball to or doesn't feel confident with who is on the field. Without playmakers we are always at risk for what happened last week. It makes it harder to overcome stupidity and once behind we are toast. With more weapons we are always in the game. Get him a f**king healthy WR at the deadline.

Brock is still elite. He was throwing to a bunch of scrubs that couldn't run proper routes (Cooks running into Kittle for the 2nd time), gave up on scramble drills (Cowing), dropped multiple passes (Watkins), and stupid penalities (Cook). He had zero run game that shanny could trust after CMC injury and both backups fumbling. Sorry but Brock can't make chicken salad out of chicken s**t.

People complaining about him not leading Watkins for YAC, I guarantee timing was off or Watkins f**ked up a little running the route. Even if Purdy threw it perfectly good chance Watkins drops it and/or fumbles. I'm sure Purdy saw that happen in the practice a lot.

Cowing is not an NFL caliber player and should have been cut in the offseason. Sky Moore should have been retained.

I never even saw Kirk take a single snap. Crazy to get paid so much money for doing absolutely nothing...

I don't know about Kyle and smaller receivers, but I think Brock with his insane accuracy in the short and mid range will feast with Stribling/Evan's type of receivers versus shorter but faster receivers like Watkins. Watkins is smaller and faster, and is supposedly used to stretch the defenses and free up the possession receivers (Jauan/Evans and Kittle) from tight underneath coverage. Personally, if they can trade down these first round picks and get more and bigger and faster Jauan Jenning's types of receivers, that will go a long way to insure we have a X receiver like a Mike Evans to power the offense and stretch defenses *AND* insure the WR squad against injuries like what Mike is going through now.

Brock had scraps for WRs last season and still was balling. I feel like Kyle relied on Evans too much and didn't have a back up plan when he went out.

Kyle can get too comfortable, I want another WR in case anything happens with Evan's "severely inflamed Achilles".

Yeah Kyle needs a plan B through Z.

The backup plan to Evans was Pearsall, Stribling, Robinson, and Deebo. Unfortunately they all had injuries first.

I mean, I'd like to have WR depth of 25 guys, too. Shanahan is an idiot for not having a team where half his roster are WRs.

Lol I have never said Kyle was an idiot, except during the SBs

Oh and against the Seahawks in the playoffs last time 😆

Whatever he did last season to make WR 4/5th stringers look good with Purdy, he needs to incorporate that during a game when his top WR goes out unexpectedly.

The last one to Kittle is one of my all time faves

Yeah I will really really hope they land Downs. With the 49ers injury curse can we really say we don't expect Evans to be out for good with that achilles at some point

This. Evans came here thinking he'd be in the mix, not the main guy.

Dont know how Shanny gets blamed for throwing the ball to the only good WR we have left. At some point these dudes gotta stay healthy.

They aren't healthy and won't be healthy that's why we need to get one that is.
