The San Francisco 49ers made a concerted effort to beef up their passing game and wide receiver depth at the trade deadline with the acquisition of two-time Pro Bowler Emmanuel Sanders.
But after Monday night’s disappointing loss to the Seattle Seahawks, it’s clear that they still have a pretty big issue.
Now, this isn’t a criticism of Sanders who has been nothing short of phenomenal since coming over to San Francisco. Sanders has hauled in 13 grabs for 161 yards and two touchdowns in around two-and-a-half games with the 49ers.
And this isn’t a criticism of rookie Deebo Samuel either who had a career game on Monday bringing in eight catches for 112 yards — both career highs.
