Anquan Boldin had 2 1,000 seasons with us at RWR. Yeah, he did fade towards the end...but he was still a solid #1. Crabtree was a #1 as well. Although he wasn't great, he was still an above average starting WR. Then most recently, Deebo. He may not have the value he had for us previously with the addition of CMC, but he is still a solid #1 Wr.
All of that was in between T.O and now.
Exactly. He said we hadn't had a #1 WR since TO. I disagree.
B Llyod was solid. We didn't know how to use him fully. He kilt it in Denver
I guess we should be more specific. We haven't had a GREAT #1 WR since T.O.
Boldin was good, Crabtree was decent, But Aiyuk is the best WR we've had since T.O. hands down.
I would agree that Aiyuk is the best since T.O. but he's also got more good receivers playing along with him. T.O. never had a guy as good as Deebo after Rice left. He didn't have a TE as good as Kittle. He certainly didn't have a back that could catch passes like CMC. All of these things make Aiyuk less valuable because he's not the only weapon. He would probably get more targets with most other teams. Probably more receptions. More wins? Not likely.
100% agree.
Which explains why the 49ers don't want to pay him 30+ mill a year.
I just really want the future WR's to be Aiyuk and Pearsall. No hate on Deebo, but we all know they brought Pearsall in cause they can't keep Deebo and Aiyuk with their contracts.
Boldin was more than good. We got 2 great years from him before his age started showing. He still almost had 800 yards that last year.
2 years ago there was more hype for Deebo than Aiyuk has now. Still I agree, Aiyuk is currently the best WR on the team, which makes him the best since TO. PFF has Aiyuk as the 8th best WR in the NFL. Deebo is 10th.
Based on what I read, Pearsall is more like Aiyuk than Deebo. Of course, I don't know if we want to duplicate Deebo since we have CMC.
