Originally posted by Silky:Originally posted by blunt_probe:This isn't going to be a popular take, but Deebo is not even close to being the best weapon on the team like last year. I hope he's okay obviously, but Aiyuk has been the clear #1 WR and CMC is a better runner too. Obviously Deebo provides us with more options and misdirection, but even if we lose him for a period of time, it's not a death sentence like it would have been last year.
Deebo in our offense is like Ronaldo for Portugal or his soccer club. Sometimes he doesn't do much but that's because he's triple teamed and draws so much attention. Deebo could have 0 catches or runs and still affect the game
I agree, I'm just saying his loss can be mitigated to a degree as opposed to last year. I do think Aiyuk is just a flat out better WR than Deebo this year though, and so he's most important weapon on offense, imo. If Kyle actually uses Mason, him, Elijah(when he gets back), and CMC can handle the run game.
