Acho questioned Samuel’s production, noting he hasn’t consistently hit 1,000 yards and has seen fewer touches and lower yardage in recent seasons. He insisted you can’t pay a “hype man” for just that role — you need real output like 1,400 yards. Though he later apologized, calling his remarks “just mean,” the 49ers’ offseason moves — signing Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, drafting De’Zhaun Stribling — signal a focus on building around current players. Samuel’s stint with the Commanders last year didn’t match his 49ers heyday, and while teammates praise him, the front office’s path forward remains uncertain as they weigh a reunion against their new direction.
