No CMAC - Deebo looks shot and Ayiuk isn't ready.
Eventually the 'weapons' argument is going to dissapear.
Just give the kid a good line and he will pick you apart.
McKivitz is trash but Puni looks like he could be a good one.

And they said Danny Dimes played better than Jalen Hurts. PFF grades aren't the bible.
QBR has him 5th which I think is pretty fair for his performance.

I'm not going to dog on Purdy, but I will dog a bit on PFF. They seem to jimmy their grades around to promote certain guys, especially college players leading up to the draft.
The Purdy is a game manager stuff is silly. Hes better than that and a pretty good QB.
But Deebo certainly does not look shot and Aiyuck was fine outside of the drop. He does have weapons and is still a good QB.
Certainly not a top 3-5 guy though

The problem with PFF is they grade with incomplete information and inject subjectivity into the rankings and then try to mix in some analytics.
I would pay more attention if they were just analytical
He is useless as a running back at this point and is an awful route runner. Jennings does a better job at finding crease in coverage.

Deebo isn't a running back he's a gadget play threat. Using him as a RB is a great way to injure him.
Route Running isn't what makes Deebo amazing, it's his ability to shed tackles and turn short plays into chunk plays. When you look at his stats is average catch distance was 3.8 yards but his average yards after catch was 7, 3 times more than Kittle or Jennings.
Deebo is still running on his 2021 season. Its not consistent or as impressive. They drafted Pearsall because they know this and I'd suspect this is Deebos last year with niners unless he does another restructure with less out year value.
Niners don't need gadet or YAC for chunk yards. Purdy is one of the best at the league in throws 10-15 yards down the field and we saw the same thing on Monday against a very good secondary.
Give Purdy a better offensive line and he will pick apart defenses with less weapons and let Shanny/Turner identify backs in the late rounds. Niners are going to be real good for a LONG time.

I agree Deebo's time in San Fran is coming to a close unless he resigns but he won't be cut most likely as all his salary is guaranteed next year and his contract voids after the season. so they'll save a little cap but odds of replacing Deebo even if his skills are diminished for what they save is basically null.
Jennings I think will be of more value to the team this season and we have yet to see what Pearsall can do.
Hes not useless as a RB but its not the ideal spot for him. But by moving him around and getting the ball to him in various spots, it opens up a lot of the other offense that they try to run. Deebo is a threat with the ball in his hands and teams have to honor that. Having a QB that is going to hit the safe throws...you need guys that will get yards after the catch. He's 28, he only has 1-2 years remaining in his prime (if that) and its smart to look to replace him.
The Niners absolutely need to gadget plays. Jennings is just a guy. He benefits because the team has Deebo, CMAC, and Kittle and defenses don't pay him any attention.
Jennings is a solid #3 receiver. The key will be can Pearsall be better to replace Deebo.
