Today you’re going to read a lot and hear a lot about the San Francisco 49ers trading for Emmanuel Sanders. I’ll begin by saying the 49ers didn’t need a wide receiver. So don’t bother reminding me about that.
The more I think about it, it might be a gamble, but it’s an OK trade. In that above article I highlighted specifically why I didn’t think the 49ers needed a wide receiver. And I’ll pick apart that argument right now:
“If this were an easier offense to learn, I may be a bit more warm to it but not with Kyle Shanahan’s offense”
