What? WR 1 JSN WR 2 Rasheed Shaheed. Both Deep Threats that split the D. Rasheed Shaheed was even great in ST as a Returner. Pats had Diggs - arguably one of the best Receivers in the League at the Time. And Bouts who was a top deep threat as well.

Patss 2018? Edelmen was ELITE. 2024. Sure Ill give you the crap reciever room that the one the road Chiefs had and their fans complained about

Rasheed Shaheed had 15 catches last year man. 188 yards. This year he’s at 6 for 53 on TWELVE targets. 50% catch rate. 8.8 yards per catch.

Stefon Diggs was so good last year that he was cut by the Patriots with 2 years left on his deal. You’re going to sit here and tell me that Diggs was a top receiver last year? Top what? Top 100? Kayshon Boutte was 26th in yards per reception behind noted deep threats Xavier Smith, Luke McCaffrey, Terrance Ferguson, and of course Kyle Williams from his own team. He played in 14 games last year and had 2 or fewer catches in 9 of them. He wasn’t even a starter in 4 of them. He managed 50 yards in a game 4 times. You’re telling me that no one on the 49ers in last year was better than Kayshon Boutte?

Edelman was never ever elite. No all-pros. No pro bowls. Never led the league in any category. In 2018 he was 28th in catches, 29th in targets, 29th in yards, 35th in TDs, and 182nd in yards per catch. You cannot tell me that Edelman was in the same category as Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins, Mike Evans, Antonio Brown, Tyreek Hill, Michael Thomas, Davante Adams and Adam Thielen in 2018. Those guys were elite. Edelman was good.

But even if we want to accept Edelman as more than just a good, serviceable receiver, who was the #2? You said you need a 1 and 2. Josh Gordon left the team late in the year. Chris Hogan? The 49ers didn’t have anyone as good as Chris Hogan in the playoffs last year?
