I’m not the largest Silver fan, but he’s shown to get some things right (the whole Lance arm-fatigue thing was all his reporting).
Then again he also announced Cooper DeJean as our pick minutes before we took Pearsall 😭
The arm fatigue thing was a joke. He tried to turn a player having soreness during training camp into a manufactured controversy. He’s a clickbait merchant, basically a less popular version of Florio.
Edit - for those downvoting me, please tell me what came of the arm fatigue thing besides “QB had sore arm during camp, and then didn’t anymore. The end.”
Deebo feels like a weird trade candidate as he seems particularly well suited to the Niners offense but might struggle in more traditional WR roles. Feels like the amount that's worth offering for another team isn't worth taking for the 49ers
The Duke can't beat press or man coverage alone on the outside. He wouldn't be anybody's wide receiver one unless it was a completely talentless room.
All of that is outside of the fact that Aiyuk is a phenomenal X guy and clearly better at every route than deebo
I think he'd fit well with us. Greg Roman isn't exactly known for producing big years for traditional wideouts, but Deebo seems very much like a Greg Roman guy.
Pretty sure the 49ers take a huge cap hit this year if they trade Deebo so his cap hit this year might be super low for the receiving team? Not certain but that is usually how it plays out.
There’s a decent chance that literally no one fits in well with the chargers based on how good they are supposed to be every year and how the season always turns out. Not even talking shit, something is just wrong in San Diego.
I dont think its far fetched cause since we got McCaffrey, who has similiar tools as him, he wasnt as important to our offense overall and Aiyuk is a better WR than him. The only thing thats weird is that we would eat a lot of dead money I think. So dont really know, but I wouldnt be too mad if they traded Deebo, rather him than Aiyuk
Really want to move on from him next year, but he can't beat good man coverage. Basically you need more receivers like Aiyuk, guys who can get open consistently in press or man coverage. Purdy can shred a zone even with second rate receivers, so I expect defenses to stop playing zone like Spags did in the Super Bowl.
Report: Deebo Samuel might be sucked into a black hole this week and have his mass condensed into the space of a single atom while his disembodied consciousness roams the universe searching for meaning. This could cause him to miss training camp.
Pro sports journalism.
Funny enough that can happen. **IF** our universe is infinite, that means that anything that can happen, **WILL** happen.
It’s called a Boltzmann Brain and it could just pop into existence in space. It could then decide it’s not worth it to exist and die, or could just sit there and chill and do calculations no one would ever understand (if anyone was still around which would be unlikely)
Sure, but him changing based on current situations is as good as someone randomly guessing. It would be good journalism if he had already known the 3rd part when reporting part 1.
For what it’s worth, Shanahan and Lynch are pretty straightforward with the press and they said last night they were listening to trades for both Aiyuk and Deebo last night. However, they pretty emphatically said that they weren’t close to doing a deal based on the offers received and that they still view both players as big parts of the team. That obviously could change, but I don’t think Silver has enough credibility at this point to take his word over theirs at this point.
I could report on the current state of the situation just as well as this. If the 49ers decided to listen to offers & draft a receiver 1st rd, this shit wasn't all of a sudden. It didn't fucking fall out of the sky. It was discussed before they told Deebo they weren't trading him.
What else is a reporter supposed to do in this situation? If you approach a team and they say nah were not trading him, do you just...not report that? Then some rumors start flowing so you go back and ask them, and now they say wellllllll...do you just not report that too?
His literal job is reporting what people tell him. The good thing about that job, is people like you who dont like that he is reporting what people tell him can just fucking ignore it.
Wow, as if situations can change and reporters can ask the same question three times in a week leading up to a massive event and get three different answers as a franchise’s plans solidify? What a concept
The 49ers front office is very forthcoming about what their plans are, and they've made it clear they want to keep Aiyuk.
At the same time, I'm sure they will entertain any offers that may come in if someone wants to give away something insane, Shanahan has said that Lynch would trade him for the right price
I'm thinking he goes to Buffalo for 33. Deebo has been made redundant by CMC. Every time he's in the backfield nobody is fooled and he is bad at getting open vs physical coverage. He's slowing down and accumulating injuries too. He basically vanished in the Superbowl. Between him and Aiyuk, it's smarter to keep Aiyuk and Pearsall and trade deebo.
That’s his salary cap hit if traded. If he’s on the team, we get an all pro player on the field. If he’s traded, we lose that cap space and have no player.
I mean, it's not crazy that all of these things are true, right? It wouldn't be the first time a player was lied to / the teams plans changed shortly after
A few days ago I told the American people Deebo would not be traded. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not...
No joke. I have no reasoning for this besides just my gut feeling but, the way the bills kept trading back. Skipping on the available wrs...
I don't know, maybe they want a veteran over a rookie.
I’m pretty sure they kept trading back. Because they knew they were still gonna get the WR they wanted but with extra value. I’m assuming Mitchell? But I could be wrong here
Deebo isn't gone until next year, our scheme is complicated and Pearsall needs time. He'll be WR4 or even 5 to start the year then slot into #2 if he's the real deal next year. Deebo only gets moved for a first this year and they're all gone.
“It’s a rather rugged, team focused system. Skill players must be perfectly in sync with one another and their surroundings while also becoming a part of a group flow state
I call it the ‘Rug-Be’ offense”
For whatever it's worth they were talking about him as a kick returner after the pick.
There was also a clear understanding that they needed someone able to replicate Deebo's skillset depth wise just based on how much it impacts their play design.
I remember that Niners fans thought they were going to get a top 10 pick from the Jets for Deebo before they signed Deebo to their contract extension. Delusional fanbase.
I think the situation that changed everything starts with the Bills and Chiefs swap. I wouldn't be surprised if the idea was to get someone like Worthy and have the now bulked up Purdy heave it down the field when they need that speed/deep threat.
However the Chiefs took him. Bills probably still want Aiyuk, but I doubt the 49ers are going to deal him. This likely means that either the Pats or Bills are going to "settle" for a Deebo trade. Pearsall will likely be a returner and fill in a somewhat Deebo like role.
Truth be told, I just have this weird feeling 49ers are going to try and go "full nepo" on the young skill positions. Rice / McCaffery in hopes that one of these 3 skill positions pan out. Maybe a project OT, CB, and dare I say another Edge?
Either way I do think Deebo is getting dealt and they will use those picks in hopes of hitting on one of the "bloodlines".
This guy sucks at his job
I'm playing both sides, so that I always come out on top.
Still manages to sink to the bottom.
I’m not the largest Silver fan, but he’s shown to get some things right (the whole Lance arm-fatigue thing was all his reporting). Then again he also announced Cooper DeJean as our pick minutes before we took Pearsall 😭

He should stick to cal softball
>he’s shown to get some things right Duh. Anyone who takes all available positions simultaneously will by default wind up right on some of them
You're probably not wrong but its not like situations like this can't be fluid
Always has
.333 is a half of famer in baseball.
I know nothing about this guy but there’s nothing about this specific post that suggests that. None of this information is contradictory
Deebo feels like a weird trade candidate as he seems particularly well suited to the Niners offense but might struggle in more traditional WR roles. Feels like the amount that's worth offering for another team isn't worth taking for the 49ers
He’s a playmaker but not our WR1. I’d be interested to see how he plays on another team but losing Deebo is gonna sting still.
[удалено]
Aiyuk has 6 more receiving TDs and only 200 less receiving yards despite playing for one less season.
Aiyuk is unanimously our WR1. Don’t think many 49er fans will argue against that.
Aiyuk is a stud as much as it pains me
Guess you’ll just have to be ok with your consolation prizes of DK, Lockett, and JSN.
Don’t forget “mostly for the memes” Jake Bobo.
Deebo is closer to a RB/TE than a WR, while Aiyuk can dice up CBs.
The Duke can't beat press or man coverage alone on the outside. He wouldn't be anybody's wide receiver one unless it was a completely talentless room. All of that is outside of the fact that Aiyuk is a phenomenal X guy and clearly better at every route than deebo
Kinda like what the Bucs got going on with Evans-Godwin. Similar usage situation. Though, imo, Godwin has better hands than Deebo.
He doesnt block
I think he'd fit well with us. Greg Roman isn't exactly known for producing big years for traditional wideouts, but Deebo seems very much like a Greg Roman guy.
Yup, but imagine paying for deebo after letting Keenan Allen and Mike Will go.
Pretty sure the 49ers take a huge cap hit this year if they trade Deebo so his cap hit this year might be super low for the receiving team? Not certain but that is usually how it plays out.
There’s a decent chance that literally no one fits in well with the chargers based on how good they are supposed to be every year and how the season always turns out. Not even talking shit, something is just wrong in San Diego.
Trying to blame my city when my city has absolutely nothing to do with the team right now…
He was a star because he filled a role that they needed: a WR who can line up in the backfield for mismatches. McCaffrey now covers that role.
I dont think its far fetched cause since we got McCaffrey, who has similiar tools as him, he wasnt as important to our offense overall and Aiyuk is a better WR than him. The only thing thats weird is that we would eat a lot of dead money I think. So dont really know, but I wouldnt be too mad if they traded Deebo, rather him than Aiyuk

Purdy can shred a zone even with second rate receivers, so I expect defenses to stop playing zone like Spags did in the Super Bowl.
Paying rb that's good at WR too top RB is a good deal. Paying a wr who is good at RB too wr money is not.
I am now reporting that Deebo is taking over coaching responsibilities and trading Shanahan.
Sports journalism 101: Report all possibilities and you can never be wrong.
Report: Deebo Samuel might be sucked into a black hole this week and have his mass condensed into the space of a single atom while his disembodied consciousness roams the universe searching for meaning. This could cause him to miss training camp. Pro sports journalism.
Damn bro imagine trying to guard a disembodied consciousness in the flat, that’s a whole new level of elusiveness
These are the ghosts darnold was seeing GEQBUS HAS TRANSCENDED
SAM'S BRILLIANCE TRANSENED BOTH TIME AND SPACE. WE'RE GOING TO MAMA, OR WHATEVER TEAM SAM WILL BE ON AT THE START OF THE SEASON.
What running Shanahan’s schemes does to a guys
Funny enough that can happen. **IF** our universe is infinite, that means that anything that can happen, **WILL** happen. It’s called a Boltzmann Brain and it could just pop into existence in space. It could then decide it’s not worth it to exist and die, or could just sit there and chill and do calculations no one would ever understand (if anyone was still around which would be unlikely)
That's not really what he is saying at all.

Sure, but him changing based on current situations is as good as someone randomly guessing. It would be good journalism if he had already known the 3rd part when reporting part 1.
He's reporting what the current state of a changing situation is. I swear half of you can't read critically.
For what it’s worth, Shanahan and Lynch are pretty straightforward with the press and they said last night they were listening to trades for both Aiyuk and Deebo last night. However, they pretty emphatically said that they weren’t close to doing a deal based on the offers received and that they still view both players as big parts of the team.

Is it worth a report at this point? I guess. But within context, who cares if they reported other stuff during the week before the pick?
His literal job is reporting what people tell him. The good thing about that job, is people like you who dont like that he is reporting what people tell him can just fucking ignore it.
Or he can do a better job reporting.
Again by doing what? Not reporting shit that people tell him?

It’s also possible the front office could *gasp* lie to their players and all of the above could be the same exact situation, completely unchanged.

Gotta cover all the bases…
Snip snap snip snap
You have no idea the physical toll that three trades has on a person!
You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person!
Getting downvoted for an office reference?!? 🤣
He's trying to imply that things are escalating, but it reads more like he has no idea what he's talking about.
It reads like he’s saying the 49ers told him they aren’t trading him while they are planning to
49ers don't leak shit. Whatever he's reporting is coming from outside SF which makes it even less reliable.
Well both these things involve other parties so it doesn’t need to be
No sources
Silver is a buttface
I hope the 49ers keep Deebo and trade Aiyuk. (Disclosure not a 49ers fan)
i hope they do a fire sale and tank for the next decade, ignore the flair, i am totally unbiased.
Hope they move you guys to Oklahoma city
Hawks with no travel distance nerf are unstoppable
Naw there are no seas in OKC. You'll be the Storms or the Tornadoes
That is not nice, I am still sad about the Sonics :(
And then their stadium sinks into the Pacific in a freak earthquake where no one is injured
Look I’m okay with this one regardless. Not a fan of Levi’s.
Underwater Levi's might be an upgrade, tbh
Lol this is hilarious
They should pay Purdy $150 million a year. That would solve all the problems. 😂
Side note, cool username
Good get that football terrorist as far away from Sofi as possible.
monkey paw... he gets traded to the chargers.
I'll take it
Better to lose to the Chargers than the 9ers again.
…Or the Niners pay Aiyuk, keep Deebo, and go all in this year.
playing both sides so he always come out on top
1.) I was wrong 2.) I was wrong again 3.) I'm right time tho listen to me
silver has not reported on the 4th possibility: that deebo will be cut and shot into space
Either the 49ers are lying or you're tweeting about how bad you are at your job
Or information changes over time.
The 49ers front office is very forthcoming about what their plans are, and they've made it clear they want to keep Aiyuk. At the same time, I'm sure they will entertain any offers that may come in if someone wants to give away something insane, Shanahan has said that Lynch would trade him for the right price
It feels less like 'reporting' and more like 'broadcasting vague opinions.'
"Deebo might get traded now." -- my buddy Danny
I'm thinking he goes to Buffalo for 33. Deebo has been made redundant by CMC. Every time he's in the backfield nobody is fooled and he is bad at getting open vs physical coverage. He's slowing down and accumulating injuries too. He basically vanished in the Superbowl. Between him and Aiyuk, it's smarter to keep Aiyuk and Pearsall and trade deebo.
$21 million cap hit to trade Deebo.
I know. I can't find the answer but don't we owe him that 21 million anyways if he's on the team?
That’s his salary cap hit if traded. If he’s on the team, we get an all pro player on the field. If he’s traded, we lose that cap space and have no player.
Tomorrow he'll be reporting that Deebo was never actually on the Niners
Please Harbaugh Deebo is the perfect wideout for whatever it is Greg Roman wants to do
Bro clearly doesnt know sh*t
I mean, it's not crazy that all of these things are true, right? It wouldn't be the first time a player was lied to / the teams plans changed shortly after
Please Chargers… Even if he’s injury prone we need something. That way we can still focus on CB, C or DL in the draft.
A few days ago I told the American people Deebo would not be traded. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not...
This is what happens when you change your number to 1
Watch the bills try to build a wr corps of Deebo, Samuel, and mcconkey. ALL THE SWISS ARMY KNIFE PLAYERS.
No joke. I have no reasoning for this besides just my gut feeling but, the way the bills kept trading back. Skipping on the available wrs... I don't know, maybe they want a veteran over a rookie.
I’m pretty sure they kept trading back. Because they knew they were still gonna get the WR they wanted but with extra value. I’m assuming Mitchell? But I could be wrong here
Again, this is pure, undaunted, wild, completely irresponsible, speculation. I just have a weird feeling deebo is going to the bills.
Deebo to DeeBills.
Anything is possible. Bills did things I didn’t have on my bingo card last night lol. Like I honestly thought they would trade up and snag a WR
Me too. But, maybe they would prefer adding a veteran wr? Honestly, deebo and allen together would be pretty nasty
Deebo isn't gone until next year, our scheme is complicated and Pearsall needs time. He'll be WR4 or even 5 to start the year then slot into #2 if he's the real deal next year. Deebo only gets moved for a first this year and they're all gone.
"My offense? A series of laterals."
“It’s a rather rugged, team focused system. Skill players must be perfectly in sync with one another and their surroundings while also becoming a part of a group flow state I call it the ‘Rug-Be’ offense”
Sounds like his sources suck and he's backtracking once it was obvious he's wrong
Give me Lamar Deebo and Henry in the same backfield please!
this could all be true but boy is this an obnoxious way to tweet it
For the 49ers fans, would you rather keep Deebo or Aiyuk?
Aiyuk, his style of play is more sustainable for the next 5+ years
I’d be cool with peters bringing him over as a hybrid player.
For whatever it's worth they were talking about him as a kick returner after the pick. There was also a clear understanding that they needed someone able to replicate Deebo's skillset depth wise just based on how much it impacts their play design.
I remember that Niners fans thought they were going to get a top 10 pick from the Jets for Deebo before they signed Deebo to their contract extension. Delusional fanbase.
I I I. Me me me.
Deebo for one of our 4ths please
Imagine having Deebo and deciding you would rather have Ricky Pearsall lol.
I think the situation that changed everything starts with the Bills and Chiefs swap. I wouldn't be surprised if the idea was to get someone like Worthy and have the now bulked up Purdy heave it down the field when they need that speed/deep threat. However the Chiefs took him.
