Deebo can want to come back before the season but you don't want to mess with these foot injuries. In 2012 we lose a close SB and Crabtree is emerging as a really nice WR and boom, he tears his achilles in the offseason. History repeating itself here!

Swift21 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Besides Bourne it's a bunch of question marks at WR now. We better hope Kittle doesn't holdout if he doesn't get a new deal. At this point I wouldn't blame him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I definitely wouldn't blame him either. Honestly, if I were him, I'm probably not playing on the current contract. Ertz and Kelce don't expire until after 2021, so there's nobody resetting the market between now and next year that he needs to wait on.

NinerNation21 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Well, considering there's a high probability that we may not have a season, or at the very least, not a season that will start on time. This injury means nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL and NBA are both coming back prior, the NFL won't catch any flack at this point for the schedule being somewhat normal so long as they take other precautions (including potentially fanless games). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Practices just started back up and COVID positive cases are already being reported - that's not a 100% indication that the season is in jeopardy, but it certainly doesn't bode well for the season. In any case, even if the season starts in September, Deebo will be back by the end of Sept. So, it's not really going to hurt us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBA is easier since season is almost over and they are playing in a bubble. I'm a bit concerned with travel and if a whole group of players get sick and are out for a period of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can do hub cities like the NHL, or do whatever they need to. But they aren't going to let the NHL, MLB, and NBA come back (not to mention korean baseball, premier league and whatever else) and then take a backseat on their own money without something drastic happening. The biggest difference is just the size of an NFL roster. At some point, these leagues are also just going to flat out say, "hey, this is part of the new world reality, life has to continue on". The NFL gets to take the best bits from the plans of other leagues, avoid some of the same potholes, and don't have to deal with any potential backlash from being the first sport that comes back. They lucked out in the timing. If things continue as they have been (Countries reopening, sports resuming, etc), then the NFL is going to continue on, even if it's not exactly the same. I do agree with some of the other posters who have mentioned that it may not be the same with regards to players potentially sitting at various times and having to make a lot of use out of the full roster. But unless something big happens, or the other sports just outright fail in their experimental seasons, it's too early for me to say that there will be a big impact on the nfl season.

TecmoSuperJoe Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 People still believe in Pettis? He's the next Freddie Mitchell. Sucks that Samus got hurt. Always some bull****. I'm thinking the NFL doesn't start on time though, so maybe this will help in that regard. Jimmy G, Bosa, and Kittle are the big three that absolutely cannot get hurt.

I think I took Isaiah Oliver in our mock draft game, but Chark was my favorite receiver with Sutton right there with him in that class (which sucks because I believe if we had stayed put we could have got him and not have wasted the draft capital we used to go up for Pettis). All that being said, I was pleasantly surprised with how Pettis played his rookie year and do think that he has the necessary skills to be a good player still. The only thing that worries me with Pettis is his mentality and how he plays: the dude just seems soft and almost afraid out there. My opinion on him is that we already made the investment, so we are basically playing with house money at this point. I wouldn’t be shocked if he regained the form from the end of his rookie year but I’m certainly not counting on it.

I heard Pettis showed up camp out of shape, so that's why he was in the dog house for a while. I think it is a mental thing for Pettis though. He needs to just nut up and keep grinding. And not trip when goons like Grant Cohn criticize him. Right now he's making Shanahan and Lynch look like a doofus for taking him high.
