what is he strong at
he literally can only run like 2 routes - a slant and a post

How often was he even asked to run a slant routes in this offense or even a drag route for that matter?Why wasn't a pro bowl kick returner not used on routes more often to get him in space to make plays? . Im not saying Duvernay is this elite receiver but I'm not going to pretend like Roman did his best to get him involved even if he can only run a slant and post

Exactly. Event though we haven't done a great job drafting receivers, our development team hasn't exactly been world-class.

I don't know. Some people are just idiots and don't know what they are talking about when it comes to Jacoby.

I was totally joking. What you said made sense. But it added fuel to the fire that Jacoby was better than Bateman which is comical

Well Bateman hasn't caught a mile high miracle. But he has caught a longer TD pass. Don't get me wrong, I like Bateman, and I may look back and say I was really dumb at this moment. But even so, he is not a WR1, him being WR1 would work less well than Torrey being WR1. Yes, he caught for over 1k yards, but the offense was really forced. I want him as our deep threat, not out WR1

problem with that idea is that the rest of the roster's almost certainly too good for a tank year to actually work

Yea that’s true, feels like we still win 6-7 games even with Snoop and risk being on the fringe of being able to snag an early 1st round QB

You could reasonably say he hasn't earned the title of WR1 because of injuries derailing seasons. However, Jacoby was at best a solid deep threat WR3. He was no WR1.

If Bateman can stay healthy (I can't promise you that) he'll show he can be a WR1.

we found out in 2013 that he's not even a WR 2 and barely a WR 3, that year the path was cleared for him to be WR2 on the roster and he got beaten out, out-produced and out-snapped by a udfa rookie who didnt even make it beyond year 3 in the NFL

bateman has already shown he's a better receiver than jacoby by miles, no offence to torrey smith, but in talent, Bateman is clearly the 2nd best WR we've drafted already and has a real chance to be the best if he can stay healthy

lol that 2nd rep was trash - routes on air not vs what the DB is giving you lol, 3rd rep (any long-developing crosser) shouldnt be allowed in 1v1s because it's not fair to the DB

he's always gonna rinse people in 1v1s because he's fast - the knock on him isn't that he's slow lol

look how tiny he is and especially look at his lower body - dude might get snapped in half like a twig if he runs a drag route through Warner or Roquan or CJ Mosley's zone in coverage lol or if he catches a screen and someone like kyle hamilton is bearing down on him...

I'm assuming it'll be the Seahawks guy who got the 2nd interview.

Apparently, when he was a college player he used to drive 100s of miles after games to "lead the worship" at his church. Harbaugh will eat that up - he seems more passionate about religion than about football these days.

Devotion to faith might just be a prerequisite for the coaching job under him these days.

So basically what you saying is Harbaugh will hire Dave Canales solely on his religious belief and nothing else ?
