I agree.

I said the same about Deebo. As think as he was he should have been throwing his body into dudes to get open and make plays on the ball

11 targets and only caught three balls. Unacceptable

Even Kittle didn't make a play on a deep ball he should've. We have him blocking so much he forgot how to track a deep ball

Kittle was only targeted three times and he caught two in dump off situations. Kyle forgets Kittle can catch since he's just a f**kin lineman apparently

Our line sucks so much that Kittle has to be a bonus tackle. I agree though. This offense should run thru cmc on the ground and Aiyuk thru the air. Everyone else should get piece after that.

BA is one of the few WRs that can run the whole route tree and the Niners might lose him. He mentioned getting 1k while being the 4th option last offseason, now he's disgruntled again.

My guess is because even if they're the best at their position, they're completely dependent upon the QB in order to earn their big pay day. Aiyuk should put up numbers like Ceedee but doesn't get the volume in this offense.

It also doesn't seem fiscally responsible to pay 2 WRs and a TE north of 15mil when running is the identity of the offense and you have a RB making 10mil+. This offense just doesn't hum like that for everyone to be happy.

They should keep Aiyuk and trade Deebo. He's always hurt anyway and he got overpaid and then dropped production. Kittle needs to stop being a lineman, Kyle needs to trade away one of these guys, utilize/trade Kittle or Deebo and spend money on the oline where we really need help so we can use these guys to their potential

Yeah

When we have four All Pros we should be repping them enough in season to where when the big games come they know how to make big plays in the biggest moments. Kyle wet the bed offensively yesterday and we all of a sudden had zero explosives

Then the criminal misuse of Jordan Mason perplexed me as well. We have a violent back but we kept overworking CMC and forgot we have other guys to run into KC DL

Spags completely out coached Kyle yesterday and it wasted a valiant defensive effort. Along with getting us a decent OL this offseason we should stand to have a focus this offseason on being better at regularly putting up 40 bergers next year so we don't see this type of offensive futility come the postseason next year

I didn't like a lotta conservatism offensively end of halves and playing for FGs and a lotta mess. Just put up points relentlessly and force the opposition to keep pace and keep pressure on them and in turn it gets us acclimated to drawing blood so when these games come we know we'll have the offensive output we need when it matters most

The team just has to lock him down. Deebo is only signed thru 25 and with his style and the way Shanny uses him as a rb he's going to be washed up anyways.

Yup either work out a deal or get a top five pick for him or let him play out his deal then net a third round comp pick for him in FA. Letting him play it out would be my last recourse but options one or two would be the top priority

Deebo is now making business decisions as a RB. He came into the season having lost weight and from what I've seen he's been more tentative when we give him carries and I'd rather be keep his bulk if he ain't going to be the Deebo we're used to

Deebo doesn't even do Deebo stuff anymore. We barely run him on end around since he got paid. Hes a great 2 receiver at best but your WR2 shouldn't be making 25m a year. Aiyuk is a much better receiver.

Nobody is trading a top 5 pick for Aiyuk lol but I get what you're saying

Not surprised at all. No WR this day and age isn't a diva or turn into one once there's fame and fortune. That's why when the players would talk about selflessness and no egos and all that stuff, lol yeah okay.

Not sure what a lot of fans who are ok with Brandon wanting out are thinking. Losing BA would be devastating. JJ is gonna want some serious money and I don't see the 49ers paying him. Not with all the other needs we have. So we lose JJ, one of only 2 players that brought their A game to the Super Bowl, and we have a very p.o. BA who wants out playing his final year next year. Think Kyle's gonna give BA his targets? Personally I don't. This could go bad real quick.

This stupid s**t happens every year. They will figure it out.

Well he has one more year here and if we can't get a top five pick for him he's going to be here another year because we'd need Marvin Harrison Jr for him or else we'll make him play his last year here then allow him to leave next offseason in FA and net that third round comp pick in return

Fact is he's an All Pro WR and as a result we need a top five pick overall to let him go or else we'll retain his services another year.

We're in a good spot with him and he can hold out all he wants but we'll be making the best deal for US!!

Yeah right. We ain't gettin that lol. Why offer the Niners a top 5 pick for Aiyuk when you can offer that to the Vikings for JJ or the Raiders for DA?

Call the Giants and ask for picks 39 and 47
Call the Pats for 34 + pick(s)
Call Bills for 28 + pick(s)

Pipe dream: pick 9 from the Bears.

She can say whatever she wishes. Deebo said he wanted to be traded. Dude is under contract and there's no chance he sits out the season. So yeah, he'll be back at Levis. With Brock at the helm, I think this team is going to shift to a more passing and Aiyuk featured even more, I love Deebo, but can't see him making it to a 3rd contract here.

I don't remember, what bad feelings about last year?

The cryptic tweet BA put out. There was a rumor going around that the 49ers tried to start contract talks with BA's agent, and that BA felt disrespected by their offer.

found the tweet

1k as the 4th option in a run first offense ???????? I'm as real as it get word to Lil baby and est gee! I'm ready to stand on business every time. Year 4 ????????????

It's the negotiation process. Not bothered, yet. Won't be bothered until we make it to week 1 and he hasn't signed an extension. Hoping the focus of the team shifts. Julio Jones put up big numbers in Kyle's run centric offense, so it isn't impossible. With better pass protection, BA will take off even more. Furthermore, I don't care what he thinks of Coach AP, he's crazy to go there without a solid QB situation. They are just talking with emotion. Irritated by all this social media talking and its only the receivers.

Everybody on this team got offers initially. George Kittle and Richard Sherman spoke about this. It's going to be a negotiation. But only the receivers have hurt feelings.

BA did not play that well when deebo was out, he struggles to get open when he was the 1. He had his opportunities and didn't show dominance. He doesn't have leverage with us with the 5th year, ideally he returns and we run it back another year - show us why you deserve top dollar BA.
