I was so excited to see him in this offense (more so with blaine) a shame he can't seem to stay healthy.

Well this is laughable ^

The guy literally sat out of practice after Kaepernick jammed one of his fingers with a bullet pass, but yeah, let's expect Bruce Ellington to take the field somehow.

Ellington is glass. I don't think he will ever make it through a season. I've about had it with him.

I didn't expect it, I just wanted it.

Hyde > Davis

Ya, doesn't it feel like this is the end of the line for him?

That should dispel any remaining issues anyone had with that Kerley trade.

When Jim Tomsula has to have a one on one conversation with you on keeping in shape, SOMETHING IS HUGELY WRONG

Man, you Hyde fans are just praying you're right. I just want Mike Davis to have the same opportunity Hyde does, because Hyde doesn't deserve job security just yet.

His cousin Andre doesn't fare much better when it comes to injuries and now you wonder if durability isn't something that runs in the family.

Brutal. Really wanted to see Ellington in this offense.

Helps our draft position, I guess.

Davis h as looked much better this preseason than last, I'm not anti davis, but to this point Hyde has been far more effective.

Ellington has so much potential, but just can't manifest it into something tangible. Alas, Bruce Ellington was born in the wrong century.

Maybe if Ellington hadn't been born until the 24th and 1/2th century, like Duck Dodgers, when tackling will have been long banned from from football, he'd be a really good NFL player.

Dexter McCluster was released by TEN. I'd have graded him out higher as a FA between he and Kerley if it was up to me and were factoring in the direction I wanted to see the offense go with, combined with what I felt the team could use with the loss of Ellington. Obviously they didn't have the ability to consider him when they needed somebody to replace Ellington either so I'm not holding Kerley over McCluster over their heads. Just saying.

I never did find a person who was as high on McCluster's ceiling as I was so excuse me if that seems mind boggling to anybody. Maybe something in a physical that wouldn't check out either since he's had so many nicks but we'll see where he may wind up.

The fact that losing a guy who has 19 career catches in two seasons was a huge blow to the WR corps, is a big indicator of Baalke's complete incompetence with the offensive skill positions.

So true and so sad. And it would take awhile to compile a Top 10 plays of all time combined for him and Patton. Jed is the ultimate culprit though.
