Will big upfront investment pay off for 49ers in 2021?

Any discussion of the 49ers’ offense usually revolves around the skill position players. That’s understandable when you consider the glory days of the franchise featured back-to-back Hall of Fame quarterbacks in Joe Montana and Steve Young, along with wide receivers like Dwight Clark, Freddy Solomon, Jerry Rice, John Taylor and Terrell Owens, not to mention explosive running backs like Roger Craig and Ricky Watters.

Fast forward to the current team and the discussion is about how the 49ers’ offense will be unstoppable with weapons like Raheem Mostert, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle. Throw in Kyle Shanahan calling the plays and it is not fair for the rest of the league.
