Larry’s FAKE‼️ He said Ricky didn’t look like a 1st rd pick lol

[@admtahoe]

I'm so tired of hearing about Nacua - the ONLY reason he has a name is because Stafford had no one else to throw to most of the season with Cupp being out. ALSO, I can pick almost any top 50 receiver in this league and have Stafford throw them the ball 160 times and they would have the same or better numbers. As a matter of fact, Nacua had 160 targets and 1486 yards Aiyuk - 105 targets - 1342 yards. I'm pretty sure if Aiyuk had 55 more targets he would have crushed Nacua's numbers. The Same for Cupp the previous year, he received an award for is yardage but it's not because he is a great receiver... Stafford targeted him 14+ times per game of course he is going to have the yardage record. If Cupp or Nacua go to a team without a great QB, their numbers would be more reality and we would all see that these players are top receivers.

I agree

[@RDSports5]

As a pure athlete, he's much better than Puka. He looks more like a bigger and much faster Brandon Lloyd. He's more acrobatic than a lot of guys out there, definitely the most acrobatic and crisp route runner in his draft class

[@laramstake3742]

Shut up no he’s not

[@RDSports5]

@@laramstake3742 You think Puka was a better athlete than Pearsall on his own draft day? Come on now, if thats true then you need to shut up my fellow rival

[@laramstake3742]

@@RDSports5 I don’t need to do anything goofy. I said what I said. We have yet to see Ricky pearsall play in the nfl. Only thing you can go by is college tape. Everything else is speculation and from what I saw he was not a better athlete than Puka. Have you not seen Puka on the basketball court in the celebrity allstar game? Bad athletes aren’t good at both sports.

[@laramstake3742]

@@RDSports5 go look at his college stats they don’t say 1st round pick at all. The niners reached for him

[@RDSports5]

​@@laramstake3742 We can't go off anything but college tape since Pearsall hasnt played a down in the NFL, so the college tape and measurables pre-draft are all we can actually measure. And by those measurements, Pearsall ran a 4.41 40 to Puka's 4.57, vert for Puka was 33" to Pearsall's 42" (despite being an inch shorter at 6'1", and the broad jump for Puka was 10' 1" to Pearsall's 10'9"... I say again, as combine/draft prospects, Pearsall is the much better pure athlete

[@UrquidezFamily]

hahaha omg you guys didn't even know who Puka was last year.....

[@ninerempire3398]

Now they do and that’s why they’re comparing other players to him

[@UrquidezFamily]

@@ninerempire3398 Yeah, this kid is the Rookie of the Year out of BYU....come on....this is lazy. Pearsall is a reach in the 1st round and if he does well good for him, but honestly he is no star. Puka is a star.

[@TheeRobertPhoenix]

@@UrquidezFamilyDoes your entire family compose your comments? That's quite a team effort.

[@UrquidezFamily]

@@TheeRobertPhoenix I don’t know do you rise from the ashes?

[@Ishai1]

That's funny because Whitworth said last year the Rams drafted Puka because they wanted someone like Deebo...

[@user-ui1mh2xf4x]

Larry don't, just don't.

[@michaelobrien1505]

Typical haters, ripping on Larry because what he says isn’t what makes the “Faithful” feel safe! Soft fans want glittery and sprinkle reports on their team. The Giants organization does that well! They pump up terrible players and find any reason to rip on the young guys!
