And you don't get the production of past Hill/Adams either and they aren't worth their trades/money. You really think Hill is going to be the same player without Mahomes and Reid? Adams the same player without Rodgers? You think their production is just magically going to carry over, but there's no chance Deebo's could? lol. I see Hill having a big drop in production and Adams will as well. Not as bad as Hill's will be, but Adams will take a step back as well. Tua and Carr are not Mahomes and Rodgers.
Shanahan is a great play caller, but Garoppolo isn't anything special and probably more overrated than anything. Shanahan and his weapons (Kittle and Deebo) make him actually look decent from time to time.
Deebo will be good wherever he ends up because of how he plays. I just don't think you've really watched much of his game to be honest, considering some of your takes on him.
Of course he isn't worth $30m per, nobody is but great QBs.
hill is much more fool proof. im sure his production will dip because he left reid, but at the same time a pretty clear blueprint was made for how to use him. regardless of team hill is one of the fastest players in the league and one of the best deep threats, as well as one of the best open field runners. i see hill as a hall of fame caliber wr.
adams, look he's the best wr in the league. the trade was dumb for the raiders because he's old and expensive, but they needed help selling tickets and getting interest in the team, so i understand.
deebo's greatest asset is the energy he brings to a team. he made multiple plays last year that sparked the entire team. problem is, he wants to be paid based solely on his 1 good year of production at the highest price a wr has ever been paid, it's ludicrous. there is 1 reason and 1 reason only deebo wants to be paid right now, because even he doesnt think he'll replicate those stats another time. so you have a relatively unproven player who wants a change of role after 1 good season and wants to be paid top wr money before he proves he can be a top wr.
if deebo wants 25 mil and im the gm, no. id trade him for a 1st or make him play this year out. you already need to find another player to fill the role he refuses to play again, so deebo instantly becomes that much less valuable to me.
