Am I the only one who doesn’t think that trade was slam dunk for the WFT? Unless they plan on getting him the ball behind the LOS via screens and run plays, he won’t be the producer they think they’re getting. He’s just not that good of a receiver, but he’s trouble when he has the ball, squared up and moving forward.
I'm biased because I've always liked the Tavon/Percy Harvin type of players, but I would always want a "just get him the ball" receiver on my team, especially if they're a number 3. So I would gladly pay a 5th for that chance. Imagine trying to cover Adams and Nacua while watching Kyren out of the backfield, and then Deebo is getting a screen or a jet sweep now and again.
I live in Commodes territory. Local radio, and fans have a problem on their hands. They don’t want to pay Terri McLauren as a WR1 receiver one and they think Deebo Samuel is a WR1. McLauren ain’t happy and he’s going extreme opposite by saying he should be paid top five wide receiver money. And stating he’s being disrespected in negotiations.
That’s my thing with this situation:
I think they have a similar plan to what you and I agree on. The only problem is, if Shanny couldn't do it anymore, can they?
IIRC, dweebo wanted to be paid as a WR when the time came, and to reinforce that he “requested” to carry the ball less.
Lol hard to believe that's the same buti who used to terrorize us.IIRC, dweebo wanted to be paid as a WR when the time came, and to reinforce that he “requested” to carry the ball less.
In comes mccafe and nobody cares that dweebo isn’t getting touches in the backfield.
Meanwhile, he’s already starting to resemble a retired RB…
Pudgy.
I live in 49er territory. They loved Deebo but they also knew he was not a WR1 type receiver. He's a below average route runner with average hands at best. He excelled in Shanahan's system with quarterbacks who excelled at throwing the shorter passes. Made his living on yards after catch. Breaking tackles and using his speed for big plays.
If I were Washington I’d wear his ass out on screens, sweeps, runs. Get one year out of him to get a better position for the playoffs.
Yeah he's going to be very effective for them underneath. Just make sure you use him for what he does best. At least until he inevitably gets stupid about it.
