Brandon Zylstra showed a lot of promise

Already is showing more promise than Curtco Bust Samuel

He's been on our roster for roughly half the season, but has been steadily inactive.  We brought him in to compete as a punt returner and for WR depth.  In the mean time we brought in Ray-Ray and Dortch, not once, but twice and cut them BOTH twice.

Meanwhile the guy who kept BZ buried on the depth chart is out touting himself as one of the hottest head coaching candidates.

Yep. Rivera obviously had positives, but his blind spot for underperforming veterans was bad.

Circumstances notwithstanding, 2 of his catches today were top 15 for all our WR catches all year.

Had he been given some legitimate snaps before the end of the year, maybe it would have lit a spark under Samuel and Wright who have underperformed this year

Deebo Samuel for the Niners is what we thought we were getting from Curtis Samuel this year.

It kind of gets lost in the scale of the overall and many disappointments from this year, and Samuel has had been open quite a few times deep and Allen couldn't get him the ball, but Samuel has went from a guy who many (me included) who thought could be our #1 WR to a guy I can't see us making an effort to keeping after next year

I used to be a Weston Dressler fan, so I occasionally watch the CFL. Zylstra balled out in 2017. He led the league with over 1600 yards receiving.

The CFL isn’t the NFL, but he could still be a solid #3.

Sometimes a guy just doesn't look like he's getting it, understanding the plays, running the routes in practice. You get down to a game that doesn't really matter, send him in and whammo he catches fire and really makes the fans go WOW. 

We don't get to see how he does in practice or in team positional meetings or anything like that. That being said, though, what happens on the field is all that really matters.

I don't think he'll take Wright's position, but Hogan...
