San Francisco 49ers Have Cut WR KD Cannon

Damn...you're right. I watched the whole tape and they're all go routes or a variation of a hitch or screen. No slants, corners, posts, outs, speed outs...unless the highlights just wanted to show "big plays", his route tree must be lacking

Yep, gotta love the raw ability, but can he actually be an NFL WR? Baylor WRs are very limited in their routes. That doesn't necessarily mean that can't be coached up to run the full route tree, but a guy with Cannon's abilities and power conference D1 production rarely goes undrafted. It's not like he was flying under the radar. Everyone knew about this guy and I'm sure ever team looked into him to some degree. Not a single one of them deemed him worthy of one of their draft selections. That says a lot, but it's not completely damning. Guys who eventually become solid NFL players go undrafted every year. But, for the 49ers to pick him up, give him $45k signing bonus (that's big guaranteed money for a UDFA) then cut him loose after rookie mini-camp? Damn. That's unusual. There's a reason for that for sure. Whether he's dumb as a rock, has attitude issues, something came up off the field, SOMETHING came to light to cause them to cut bait on this kid this quickly.

    • People really need to stop placing Dan Morgan on some kind of infallible pedestal. He is absolutely in lockstop with Tepper regarding Bryce and has been all along. As far as the team being okay with 185 passing yards per game. We better have a proven monster RB in our backfield then. Presently that guy is not on the roster. Chuba has one outlier season so far and the other guys have proven nothing. Not what you would call a great recipe. The only thing we can hope at this juncture is that the highest paid OL in the league for the second year in a row elevates their play from last season and opens up some massive holes even our RB's can get through. But it still doesn't resolve the issue of predictability. With no viable passing game it is much easier to shut down any run game. No defenses are scared of Bryce's arm. It is what it is.
    • i lived in Atlanta from 84'to 92' & back then it was indeed a very different time without the internet & access to information 24/7. shortly after i moved back home to western NC around 93' or 94' the Carolina Panthers were awarded an NfL franchise & began their inaugural season in 95' so ike you i have seen the Carolina Panthers, ,the NFL ,technology, fans all evolve over the many a moon & years now some for the better & others not so ...just saying 
    • I wouldn't even bet on us winning the NFC South. All four teams had excellent Drafts.
