This is your main flawed problem. You keep worrying about wrs for 2026 and beyond and are neglecting the defense. This team was 2 games from winning the SB last year with a star rookie qb. For the millionth time, WR was addressed prior to the draft for the 2025 season. We can worry about 2026 next year more for wrs, and I've already provided solutions for that (extending Deebo, Brooks, McCaffrey more polished etc.). Defense will prevent us from winning the SB which Lane doesn't play.

Your asinine quote below:

Deebo is a gaget guy, a real weapon who will also carry the ball as a RB but he is not a WR 2. Top WR 2's do not end the season in a good offense with 51/670/3. So we can't compare him to Phillys WR2, he's in a special catagory. So that leave us with Terry and JAG GUY as the WR2.

Deebo will be our #2 this year whether you like it or not. Jayden has plenty of weapons and an upgraded oline. Defense lost pieces and lacks an edge. Don't come to me when we don't reach the SB next year. Defense still wins championships.

I guess you don't want to discuss how there have been trade rumors for years now and why that would be, or why they chose to extend Aiyuk and not Samuel. Being overweight and out of shape is a symptom of not being motivated. These were taken from a few articles, there are many more out there and frankly I'm surprised this needs to be proven to you as it's common knowledge:

During those rough negotiations, I heard that a 49ers negotiator told Deebo or his agent that he didn’t deserve the kind of massive extension other players were receiving because he wasn’t going to last that long at the top of the game.

Specifically, the 49ers didn’t think his style of play — and, quite frankly, his training habits — would lead to much production into his late-20s and 30s.

There appeared to be consternation between Samuel and the club over the last several seasons. The 29-year-old complained about his touches during 2024, and the Niners have reportedly had concerns for a few years.

It's clear by your post that you want the quick fix for next season, although a rookie edge picked in the 2nd round probably won't be an immediate impact player. The team has chosen a more long term approach and I believe them when they said they took the best player available and that is always the correct approach to take.

There is no guarantee that they will sign Samuel to another contract. So that leaves potentially a 30 year old as the only legit WR weapon going into next season.

Don't ever lose that passion man, I have enjoyed this exchange even with your nasty tone.
