Just like with our last guy, if the current weapons aren't enough, then he has no business playing the QB position in the NFL.Bram_Raider wrote Tue Mar 14, 2023 7:20 am:Upgrade over Mack Hollins.
Adams, Meyers, Renfrow, Waller and Jacobs.
Nice weapons for Jimmy.

Meyers is more of a slot WR but has the versatility to move outside too. IMO he's a better fit than Renfrow when paired with Adams because Adams is a force in the slot as well so it gives more freedom to exploit matchups with Adams. I hope we find a way to move Renfrow because this is too much invested in offensive weapons, given that we need some help on the OL and all over the D.Sir Raider Duck, OMS » Tue Mar 14, 2023 8:17 am
I was not previously aware of the NFL rule saying once we signed a wide receiver, we could not sign any defensive players. Thanks for the info.JRaider17 wrote Tue Mar 14, 2023 6:57 am:So much for defense.

FYI: Wikipedia, the unofficial chronicler of this age, has dubbed the play the Lunatic Lateral. I would have preferred either "Sin City Miracle" or "Hail Moron," but "Lunatic Lateral" it is.RaidersAreOne wrote Tue Mar 14, 2023 7:05 am:https://twitter.com/MySportsUpdate/stat ... 8933607424

Yes in Grudens west coast he had a great season but there was no way of knowing if he could repeat it in the Erhardt Perkins but still they extended him after his 3rd year.haji81872 wrote Tue Mar 14, 2023 8:04 am:103 catches for 1000+ yards? Maybe that is why? Myers dreams of getting those numbers someday.

Yeah I don’t get this either.bringdafunk wrote Tue Mar 14, 2023 7:46 am:Why does everyone think Renfrow is getting traded? He is a slot #3 WR, Hollins will be gone, Meyers slides in at #2.

Garoppolo can’t throw deep. You can see they are tailoring this offense for the short/intermediate passing game that suits his skill set.RI RAIDER wrote Tue Mar 14, 2023 8:19 am:If we were going WR, I would have signed Chark who can stretch the field out (burner), compliments Adams better, and would have been cheaper. Just a dumb signing no matter how you slice it.
Sir Raider Duck, OMS » Tue Mar 14, 2023 8:22 am
Jimmy G's deep ball isn't the best. What's the point of having a burner if your quarterback can't consistently throw it that far? You need guys who can get open without running past everyone, and Meyers can do that.RI RAIDER wrote Tue Mar 14, 2023 8:19 am:If we were going WR, I would have signed Chark who can stretch the field out (burner), compliments Adams better, and would have been cheaper.

Renfrow fits any system. His production was down last season because he was injured. And let's remember that it was a missed throw to a wide open Renfrow that ended Carr's career here.WolfRaider wrote Tue Mar 14, 2023 8:11 am:Hogan too!
He can also play outside. Might be better in the slot, but he can play outside.
I think he'll do really well.
If we are moving on from Hunter, who I don't think the system fits. He likes to freeform his routes too much for a timing based offence, why his production was down. Hopefully we get a good defensive player back for him or a 2nd round pick

I heard we were at 19 left yesterday, this brings us down to 8 or so and generally teams will keep 5 million or so for mid season pickups/trades.chucker wrote Tue Mar 14, 2023 8:16 am:Meyers is more of a slot WR but has the versatility to move outside too.

No one said that, but given the core of our WR group--a proven one that we have a ton of money already invested in, we should've already been a player in the defensive FA market. I'm not saying that we can sign anyone anytime we want, but at this point I'd rather see us overpay for quality defensive FAs than get a fair deal on yet another receiving target.Sir Raider Duck, OMS wrote Tue Mar 14, 2023 8:17 am:I was not previously aware of the NFL rule saying once we signed a wide receiver, we could not sign any defensive players.
