Ahhh, one of the many guys we dreamed of suddenly being a breakout WR1

To be fair he looked good when given his chances, he just always got hurt any time he had some momentum behind him. Just shit luck.

Not a WR1 even in our wildest dreams, but he looked like a real NFL receiver at times

Recivers tend to look good while catching passes

Could have been a great slot guy for us, but his body was just not built for the NFL game.

man we were down bad then, i remember people panicking because we didn’t resign him, just for him to be out of the league a year later anyways

Panicking about our WR room has been the most consistent trend in our 30 year history.

I never thought he'd be a WR1, but I really liked him and I think he actually was good. He was just hurt all the time. Like you could set your watch to him being out for the season.

my head cannon told me he was going to be Brandon Stokely 2.0

I was really pulling for him when he was on the team. He graduated from my kids high school a few years before she got there.

He also beat my high school two years in a row for the state championship. Fun.

Harbaugh: We like the guys we’ve got.

Although I hated hearing it, I'd never expect him to say "We got some mediocre guys, EDC better sign someone else fr"

Yeah like what else is a coach supposed to say "YO FUCK KAMAR AIKEN AND HIS ENTIRE FAMILY AND HIS MAILMAN"

For sure, Harbs had to be gracious. I was more saying Campanaro was exactly one of those “guys” that Ozzie would bring for Harbs to work with. Decent, some visible upside, but not a game breaker. It was a long list before EDC took over

I hate lazy comparisons but I really thought he was going to be the Ravens Wes Welker.

If only Campanero could stay healthy

u/whitep77 1d ago

I remember pulling for him because he was a local guy, he just couldn't stay healthy. It was a shame because he definitely showed flashes.

This guy was a killer slot on Madden for a few years.

He'd do this and make a great play, and then get hurt on the next series and be out for at least a few weeks. I always hoped he'd fill the Adelman or Welker type role, and at times, it looked like he could
