I would love for him to start lighting it up but if he keeps playing like he has it would be foolish to pay him top dollar. He's also most likely going to want a long term deal which cost us a pick.

This offense not kicking on all cylinders is affecting that I believe. To me it feels like they are on the cusp of grasping the issues and fixing them. We shall see how it goes. But even when this offense gets kicking, I don't know that we will ever really see one consistent #1 with all the weapons we currently have. That's a whole lot of mouths to feed. Which isn't necessarily a bad problem, until its time to resign guys. I like all of our current guys and would hate to see us lose any, but its the nature of the game. 

I just hope Baalke keeps this in mind. Players with the mindset of being a "team player" should be who we are looking to go after in the draft or F/A. We aren't gonna be able to pay everyone their full worth or more, in some cases each year.

The problem with the offense not hitting on all cylinders is not the ballhandlers. It is the fact that our O line, particularly the interior, has been trash. That’s about to improve. Getting Little back and adding Cleveland makes a big difference. The weak link is Fortner. He straight up needs to be replaced in the off season.

If the improved line gives Trevor .5 more seconds, the routes will fully develop and he won’t have to rush his reads or run for his life. THEN watch this offense! It’s going to be a thing of beauty.
