The 49ers WR corps may tip scales in their favor


top dawg

Recommended Posts

Kaepernick is an incredible qb. Almost 400 yds and 2 tds in the SB, better than most qbs that actually win the SB lol. He outgained and outscored flacco that game 29-27, not his fault the team let him down. Did i mention that was his 10th start? Comes into this year with only Boldin and VD as targets. Some games only Boldin (colts game, VD left panthers game up 9-0). Still 10th in passer rating (higher than cam) still 7th in yds per attempt (higher than cam). Those are the stats that matter not total yardage which is correlated to amount of attempts. Almost won IN Seattle with a 80% crabs, Boldin dropping balls and VD who disappears against them because hes scared of chancellor. Did i mention Gore had 14yds? Yall should stop the hate before its too late.

 

too late for what?

So, that's how serious organizations handle their weaknesses, they turn it into a strength. Weird, thought they'd draft a DE to back up Aldon Smith. Gettlemagic!

The 9ers have a huge number of picks and somehow have cap room for FAs. Gettleman is trying to make chicken soup out of some dumbshit contracts a retarded coke head GM left behind in the cupboard.

No way Gettleman considered Johnson. Too expensive with some attitude issues. Niners have a ton of money.

I hate to admit it, but Stevie Johnson has a point:

NFL.com

Our new west coast nemesis has definitely upgraded their air power by adding Johnson (and, yes, I hate them and consider them in some ways just as much a rival as our division foes). It could be very formidable depending upon Colin Kaepernick's development.

Around here we like to talk about our defense's ability to just plain out-pressure an opposition's QB, and in theory that may work extremely well for most opponents, but will it work against the likes of the 49ers who came to our house and beat us up in the playoffs mentally, if not physically. Like it or not, their defense was not too far away from ours from a relative statistical perspective, and the two teams play defense (and offense) with a similar philosophy. That being said, on paper their receiving corps looks a lot better at the moment than ours.

Unlike most NFL fans, for argument's sake, I am going to call the two teams' defenses a push (and I am really hoping that we are better). But even if we are a little better defensively, I can see an addition like Stevie Johnson---not to mention the crafty and productive Brandon Lloyd---as tipping the scales in the 49ers favor. I know it may be too early to be thinking about such things, but this leaves a bad taste in my mouth, about as bad as the taste that I had watching my team pretty much get beat down (in stages) last January at Bank of America Stadium.

When healthy, the 49ers could very well have "all ones". I hate it, but it's probably going to come down to hoping that our defense can break them down to halves by breaking Kap in half, and whether Cam and company can do just enough to win.

Our WRs will have to step up to the plate come playoff time. Benjamin will be a legitimate threat, no doubt, but someone else is going to have to step up in a big way to match what the 49ers have (on paper and in theory anyway).

Our defenses don't play eachother. Our defense doesn't match up well with their offense and that is what is gonna kill us.

Kap is a good QB but he is their weak link. SF fans need to realize that. Our WR core this year could very well go 5 deep. Last year we went 3 deep. I wouldn't be suprised at all if Cam throws for 3700-4000 yards. I don't think Kap can put up those numbers. SF hasn't developed Kap the way we have developed Cam. They  need to change that if they are going to ultimately make it back to the Super Bowl.

Kap is not that bad and it took Cam until his third year to start going through his reads. He'll be fine.

Since the 49ers have one receiver who gets the ball on a particular play with the rest being decoys, it seems to me they have a whole bunch of wasted manpower at the receiver spot.  They were 30th is passing yards at 186 a game.  Adding more receivers who won't get the ball that often will not make them better, there will just be discord when they have to spread the catches out even more.  There was a reason Ginn had only a few catches for the 49ers in 2012 and it wasn't lack of ability as we showed in 2013.

I don't know. Ol Gruden on MNF has called him out that he needs to learn to read coverages. Cam is much better at doing that than Kap. That one read then run has some truth to it. Our first game in SF last year was an example of it. He could get better but I'll wait to see if that happens. If Cam goes 5 deep at WR, Kap could have a tough time keeping up with that even with their WR's. Cam went 3 deep at WR last year and still out gained him.

I think he'll get better with time.

But didn't he have a whole year and a half to sit behind one of the smarter QB's in the league in Alex Smith, not to mention tutoring from an old QB turned head coach (and a very succesful one at that) in Jim Harbaugh. Surely one of those guys could've learned him to go through his reads if he was capable of doing so?
