Josh Morgan - WR - 49ers

49ers placed WR Josh Morgan on injured reserve with a broken leg, ending his season.
It's a tough break in Morgan's contract year. The 26-year-old managed 15 catches for 220 yards and a touchdown in five appearances this season. A reliable receiver with quality run-blocking skills, Morgan has not shown enough separation ability to land a lucrative deal on the 2012 free agent market.

Tough loss...just more adversity to overcome.

 

[49ermann]

I guess this means we can get him on the cheap for next year.

 

[Mozart'sGhost]

I'm sorry to hear that. He was starting to grow on me.

Hopefully not in an area you can't cover up

Yeah, for our style of offense, this could be a big is a big loss; and he was well on his way to having his best year.

 

[CalamityX11]

Damn, he has had such a hand in our success in the first 5 games to boot.

But I think we knew it was coming... sucks that it happened. But maybe we can bring him back on the cheap(even though he really didn't have the #s to call for a big deal)....

Good stuff Morgan, hope you can recoup well and quickly.

Ha ha, yes he's come a long way from his "But coach it came down like a punt" days.

Haha!! I agree 100%! Today, I think he hauls that pass in for six without skipping a beat.

Darn... When Harbaugh announced that he will be implimenting a WCO style offense, I had Morgan pegged for a break out season...

 

[CalamityX11]

Just wait til Edwards comes through!

So did I, Four - so did I!

Assuming Edwards comes back after the bye, Morgan probably would have seen his role drop off fairly significantly. With Edwards and Crabtree starting, a guy like Ginn or Williams brings more to the table with a different skill set than the other guys. I'm still sad to see him go, of course, but other than this week I don't know that his loss will be felt all that acutely.

Bench the dependable receiver for the undependable one - Brilliant strategy!

Sorry, but you seriously need to check your player evalu skills - Edwards and Morgan would have been the starters. Crabtree is not there yet.

It is a tough loss but the one bright spot that I see in this whole thing is the way that Harbaugh uses the two tight end set.
He has two solid TEs that could help ease the pain of losing Morgan.

I agree wholeheartedly, Coffee!

Another opportunity I hope gets taken full advantage of is Ginn's opportunity to prove he is now a dependable receiver both inside and outside the #'s. I would really like to use Ginn's speed on offense as well as ST's.

As we touched on earlier, this IS the game for Crabtree to really step up and take command/lead as a WR in the NFL.... we're going to need to play withing himself and beyond himself to make up for Morgan.

Agreed, being a base(correct?) 2 TE set, allows a loss at WR manageable vs other base formations.

Ginn should be used quite well along with KW inside. If we can really make use of KW(cause I hope Ginn has enough for STs), he'll be a real weapon for us down the road.
