BA is a wr1. Deebo is more or a wr2 like Curtis Samuel. More for gadget plays than a true wr1. Still going to be a good combo

Yup this

Yeah, I agree - Brandon is our WR1, Deebo our WR2. Can't wait till we get a QB1 to get them the ball - it's going to be fun to watch.

Or an OL to give jimmy more time to at least get them the ball on most throws whe a young qb is getting ready to take over in 2022

Man, I didn't know he turned down offers from Alabama and Tennessee to go to ASU. Mostly because ASU was the only one that wanted to keep him as WR instead of just a return specialist or DB.

We haven't even seen what he can do vertically because we don't have a QB that can push the ball down field.

We dont have an OL that can give the QB enough time to push the ball down the field.

We need Zach Wilson - he can chuck it down field, no problem - we just got to wait a year.

We've had QBs take shots downfield. They just miss. Can't continue blaming the OL for everything. In fact, there's a perfectly good example of this today when Richie James was 5 yards behind the Saints' secondary, and our QB still failed to get him the ball.

Yes, OL plays a part, but the QB does, too.

I was trying to look this up, I mean it's smart considering he would've been the 4th WR on Bama lol wonder if he had any D1 schools offer him something before he went to JUCO..
