On today's episode of The 415ers, Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi, in honor of Brandon Aiyuk, discuss which players the 49ers need to 'take off' this season. Which players can have the biggest positive impact on San Francisco's success this season simply by outperforming what they put on tape last year?

Plus, where does the 49ers offense rank against the rest of the NFL? There are Hall-of-Fame caliber quarterbacks littered around the league's best offenses ... and then there's San Francisco, led by a quarterback one year removed from being Mr. Irrelevant.
