How do you get from "I don't know" to worried?
Concerned would be knowing we are going into the season with no talent what so ever.
This group has talent and multiple seasons within this offense in Bourne, Taylor, Pettis, James, and Hurd (on IR).
Dude what? When you have players that you cannot count on for whatever reason, they are question marks. So when you have a team full of question marks, how can you not be worried?
Yes, we have talent in the WR corps, no question. But we have nothing that is proven outside of Bourne (and only proven as a #3). Not sure how that isnt concerning to people.
If you're saying that you're worried because of the injury history of the players we have then I have no problem being "concerned"
But we just drafted a 1st round WR and have spent a lot of draft capital on the position outside of Deebo.
You're on a forum. IMO it's lazy to form a negative opinion based solely on inexperience when year after year young players become the some of the best players on the team.
So again..
Concerned about injury history?
No issue.
Concerned about capabilities?
Lazy
Jesus SMH. Ok let me elaborate.
Deebo: High expectations after a great rookie year. But its not unfathomable that he could have experienced a sophomore slump like countless others have. Now he is having surgery for an injury that kept Trent Taylor out all season. Add that up and you get a question mark (which would have been substantially smaller of a question mark without the injury).
Hurd: Missed his only professional season with a back injury. He looks to be recovered, but who knows. He could very easily get hurt again because of a hit to the back. That equals a question mark.
Taylor: Taylor hasnt been on the field in 2 seasons. Completely unreliable player that cannot be counted on. Calling him a question mark is being generous.
Aiyuk: Very talented rookie who has never set foot on an NFL field. Cant call him anything more than a talented question mark.
RJJ: I really like him. I think if he had more opportunities, he would produce more. But that me making a guess. He hasnt been able to make any sort of impact as a WR on this team aside from a couple splash plays. Another question mark.
Pettis: Pettis had a nice rookie season and was completely useless in year 2. I hope he has a better season this year, but you absolutely cannot rely on him to.
Benjamin: Cuttable player. Had 6 catches last season. Not a reliable player in the slightest.
Jennings: Probably wont make the team. Tough but slow as s**t..
Bourne: I love Bourne. You can absolutely count on him as a quality #3 WR. But there is a good chance he will be asked to play at a higher WR spot, at least early on. We can all project that he will be fine, but we really dont know.
I know I didnt explicitly spell all of this out, but I didnt think that someone would interpret me saying every player is a question mark as me saying they all have the exact same reasons they are question marks.
We have a roster full of question marks, and you calling me lazy doesnt change that.
