49ers WR Ricky Pearsall Thread

He is a good #3 WR when healthy. But is injury prone and cant score TDs. Totally not worth a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd round pick. Spent way too high on him when better WRs were on the board and selected right after him.

For sure that is true.

I like RP but they definitely reached for him. Same with Collins last year. Love him in the 4th round but 2nd round was reaching. I see him as #2 not #3

Can't be a 1, 2, or 3 if he is on the sideline or press box half the year. I think we give the kid another year before we stamp him as another lynch bust.

When playing, he's very good.

"When" is the problem.

I would say also he went too high in the draft maybe a 2nd to 3rd but way too high....and he is good when healthy but he seems to be made of glass....I think drafting him this high made things worse with Aiyuk,and Aiyuk made up his mind that somehow he was going to screw the9ers as much as he could and he did hurt them by not being available on purpose...call me crazy but the facts are there...now the 9ers need a no.1 wr again! Cause you can't keep putting all your eggs in that Pearsall basket going forward if they do there is a 60% chance that you gonna Crack them eggs .....again

He's a #2. Should be treated like one next season instead of looked at as a savior.

Hardy.

He was leading the league in receiving before he got hurt and was on pace for 1500 yards

This is with him being injured all year and not being able to go full speed. I think Aiyuk was in the upper right as well iirc.

Matt Maiocco made a very good point today. Darnold and Stafford held the ball for only 2.71 seconds each this season. Purdy held it for 3.17 seconds and that is very, very high. It goes to show that the Niners need 2 receivers, a true number one that can take in 150-160 catches and get 1500-1700 yards for the season, and another that touches it for about a 100 touches for 700-800 yards in order to reduce Purdy's time holding the ball and to take pressure off the offensive line.
He makes the point and I agree that both Seattle and LA's offensive lines are that much better than the one we have (and yes, we need to invest in our OL) but if we have receivers that can get free that will reduce Purdy's hold time.
Is Pearsall one of those two receivers? He has the skill to get open, he did great in the first 3 games, but it is his ability to stay healthy that is just seeming to kill him as a number two option. There is no way I think he is a number one. It is why I think he is relegated to the number 3 position IF we can get a true number one and a solid number 2. If we can get a true number one in the draft or via free agency and compliment that with a vetern like Cupp in Seattle or a Davante Adams on the Rams, then I think we take a major move in being able to compete in the NFC West. Is Pearsall part of that? Too many questions in my book on him and his endurability. The Niners can't rely on him so I say add 2 more and then let their performance determine where they are.

Gpod points. Rpnhas the skillet to be that #2 in my opinion. But due to the gunshot and injuries we aren't seeing the production. They have to go into this off season thinking they need two starters

As the kids would say...bruh. Not many folks have had 1700 yds seasons. This from the AI overlords: https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/wide-receivers-with-1700-receiving-yards-in-a-season If this is to be believed, only 16 dudes all-time have done it. If you go to 1600 yds in a season the number goes up: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/rec_yds_single_season.htm It still only amounts to about 31 or so who have done it all-time.

My point is that you do not always need an all-world guy. Sure, it is nice to get them, and we had one that did a little somethin' somethin' for us for many years. But they just do not grow on trees.

You singled in on the 1700yds?

I hyper focused on destroying the most catches in a season record.

Then the horrible yards per reception.

i agree i think he is a solid 1 or 2 WR and disagree with some opinions above

I think he has had bad injury luck it doesnt make him injury prone he was not injury prone at all in college. He got shot then had a PCL injury early this year which does linger.

We do need a WR overhaul though this is not a talented group currently and if we lose Jennings we need to hit on at least 2 WR on the team
