Jauan Jennings

Mike Evans is the next tier above big WR. Dude is in the giant WR tier with guys like Megatron, Brandon Marshall, Vincent Jackson, etc.

Touché. Brandon Lloyd too. Still, Evans is HUGE
Brandon Lloyd 😂 that has to be sarcasm. He was neither big or tall. He just was good at making acrobatic catches. And for as tall as Jauan was, he didn't really use his height to his advantage. Don't think Jauan was super athletic by any means. Mike on the other hand, tall, big, used to be fast (still has enough speed to get open), technical, great hands & can jump. That's why he is a future hall of famer.

I remember him being much taller. Can't believe he was shorter than Deebo and Aiyuk.

So anyone still think this was a bad signing?

seriously though, in the RedZone just keep putting up towards Evans like Brock did and we'll win more than we lose

I am pretty sure I b***hed about this signing and I have no idea why now. Smh. Evans and Brock clearly have some great chemistry going on, it will be very fun to watch. Highlight reels to be made with this duo. Please stay healthy lol

6 catches(7tgts), 6 first downs with a TD.
Against a great secondary.
Besides
If he has 100(117tgts) catches 820 yards 100 first downs and 16TD you would be disappointed?

Every Mike Evans catch from Week 1…

I also wonder if they have him running these routes to show they are happy to sit him in soft spots and slowly move the chains.
"We will make you stop this, and your corner can not do it alone"

I sm excited to see this versus a not very good secondary

Evans just turned 33
Moss was 35 when he signed with the Niners

It felt like moss was older than that when he joined

Well, for what it's worth Jerry was 39 when he signed with the Oakland Raiders.

Yup this was a top 5 secondary. Eagles, Broncos, Pats, Seahawks, and Rams are all top secondaries imo

Is it my imagination or is Evans asking to go off the field after every target? Please guys, do NOT have him take shots if he is not 100% healthy. He is a stah and we need him in January. Keep yo eyez on the prize Puhleez.

It sucks that Purdy is cursed with a Hospital Ward Receiving Corps.

Mike Evans is really freaking good. That reception he made on the first niners drive when Purdy improvised was fantastic.
He should be the first option in the redzone, specially on the goal line.

No, it was just a hip pointer. Kyle said he would have continued to play if it was a close game.
