Do we have the worst WR depth in the league?

1. Anything in the WR's catch zone should be caught.
2. Anything hitting a WR in the chest should be caught
3. When the WR is scrambling and the qb throws you the ball keep breaking towards the qb to ward off any defenders from intercepting. (Watch Julian Edelman tape he attacks the football in mid air like he wants it.)
4. I think Bourne and Samuel heard footsteps and that is why they did not make the plays.

UGH. These WR's need to step up, something Kyle has said all season.

Look at Hollister the TE for the Seahawks, he was 4th string but next man up and played with an urgency I do not see on the 9ers.

I thought Bourne played pretty solid last night, he just got a little bit more than he could chew after Sanders went down.

Frickin injuries just suck the life out of a team!!!

i hate the drops but you are right. at least bourne tried. f**kin goodwin and pettis were invisible. and yet they stay and yet people say,, oh they just need opportunities. i hate them

I think Dez could become a reality if Hurd is still out for another month.

Bourne has his ups and downs. Goodwin and Pettis both look to be simply not good or just not sold out. Goodwin thinking about the Olympics and Pettis thinking about p***y all night.

there are worse ideas out there/. i would take dez over goodwin and pettis.

I don't think we have the worst depth. Deebo had a good game last night and Bourne made some plays and dropped some. Jimmy needs to take some of the blame because he still doesn't put the ball on target all the time. He sometimes throws late and it allows the defender to get a hand in and break up the pass. Yes there were too many drops but there were also too many poorly thrown balls. The Seahawks could have had at least 2 more INT's that they dropped. The one deep pass to Deebo down the sideline was under thrown by Jimmy or that may have been a TD since he had his man beat. Can we use some upgrades at receiver. No question. Will it happen in the off season? Hard to say with our limited draft picks and limited cap money to spend.

Who has a worse receiver corps?

Time to bring Crabtree home. Worst case, he at least deserves a tryout.

This team just can't draft WRs....we've been cursed since the Terrell Owens pick. The football gods looked down on us and saw how we got 2 HOF recievers on our roster at the same time.

Just go look up the list of guys we've drafted since Owens. The best receiver we've drafted in the last 25 years is MIchael Crabtree, which is sad.

For real. Hell, I'd take T.O. right now over this pretender group.

I don't know if it can get fixed this year......

The 49ers needed to switch gears to a spread offense on the fly. I know that is a lot easier to say then do.

Going in to next week, if they don't get people back, and the run game falters ( IE so will the play action game) the team needs to spread out the darn field and give the wrs more space to operate in.

Learning this playbook is complicated. Thus I don't think Dez and Crabtree are serious options. AB, he might talented enough to be effective without learning the whole playbook, but he is bad for the locker room, and he might be suspended the moment we sign him.

The one serious candidate I have is Pierre Garçon. He is nothing special at this age, but he is going to be more reliable than any our our receivers other than Sanders.

I didn't say he is reliable in absolute terms. I said he is more than than than our current receivers outside of Sanders, relatively speaking.

Really the man who should have stepped up and didn't, was Goodwin.

Dude is technically supposed to be our 1. I feel like he's out of focus of football. i know he's had a lot of personal issues the last couple years but he's not in football mode.

Bourne is inconsistent, hit or miss with his hands.

I don't doubt the playbook is complicated to learn BUT I sure as heck rather have Crabtree out there at this point on a shortened playbook running receiver screens, slants, posts, outs and comebacks then Bourne setting passes up in the air for the opposing D or Pettis shutting down the minute someone lays a finger on him.

LOL.
