The reality is that most players have similar talent and toughness, desire and work ethic are what makes the player. Guys like Roger Craig and Jerry Rice had average measurables but had the biggest desire toughness and work ethic. Dante Pettis doesn't have that and Shanalynch should have known this

wow this is an "OK boomer" type of comment lol.

Isn't Odell a metrosexual with similar interests?

Yeah he is known to be a little feminine with his mannerisms but he is still a beast. I don't think that affects your ability to be a good football player. I think Pettis got really complacent and now Kyle sent a message that you gotta earn your seat at the dinner table.

I think so too. I don't think Dante is afraid of contact or that he lacks toughness. I think it's lack of hunger cuz he's had it easy his whole life. Vernon Davis was into art and all sorts of non typical football guy stuff...he still played well. If Dante isn't traded I think him not being handed the job could light a fire under him...or maybe not. Personally I like the guy and I'd like to see him break through. We'll see what happens.

Dude owns a jamba juice franchise lol and still shredded defense for us the OG 85.

As for Dante, we'll see what happens. He seems like he lived his life pampered and I think this is the first time that he didn't get something handed to him. I think he is very talented and if he clicks people will like him again and see why Kyle wanted him in the first place. But he needs to get his head out of his ass first.

Great post Phoenix, I guess that's one way of looking at it.

I just wonder why this isn't working with Pettis & Goodwin?

Difference in skillsets. Ball skills and vision are a thing, like why Trent Richardson flushed out of the NFL. Goodwin is more of a pure speed guy, not super skilled as a receiver. Pettis has the talent but there's something above the neck that seems to be limiting him. In anycase, Aiyuk shows a lot more aggressiveness and physicality than Pettis ever did in college.

Then we have a problem in evaluating WR's? So is it Lynch or Shanahan?

I mean we not only grabbed Goodwin in free agency, we extended his contract. Same person also moved up to draft Pettis in round 2.

Goodwin (F/A), Sanders (F/A), Pettis, James, Deebo, Trent Taylor, Hurd, and Benjamin (F/A).

Now we move up to draft Aiyuk in round 1 and you believe we got it right?

I hope so

It took Lynch and Kyle 3 years to transform the team from drafting second to drafting second to last and you still don't trust them on drafting the right players?

Why are we so quick to blame someone? Every GM, coach, and scout misses on more players than they get right.

Geez we have a loaded team I don't think we have a problem.

Yes, using childish name calling just like Trump does.
