BA isn't exceptionally big, tall, fast or strong, but the physical trait that stood out about him was exceptional cutting ability. You take that away from him, and he's literally JAG.

Here's Brandon Aiyuk's "China Stick" route in the red zone for the first touchdown.

He's becoming a legitimate red-zone threat every week because of his precise route-running and ability to get open in short spaces. pic.twitter.com/Rno1kb6VFd

#49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk does, in fact, have a torn ACL and MCL, per sources after the MRI. There may be other damage.

His season is over, with a long road back for 2025. This is what coach Kyle Shanahan and SF believed following the game. pic.twitter.com/Ju5nxlgDLC

Replay looked like a multi ligament tear to me, a clean ACL was always going to be best case scenario but clearly we're past that point. The "other damage" is most concerning. Nerve? Kneecap? Sounds like the beginning of 2025 is in doubt as well. What a disaster for the 49ers.

The 49ers are cursed and jinxed. This is absolutely true. They are also hated by the NFL commission.

This is way worse than a clean ACL tear. He tore 2 ligaments and there might be other structural damage to his knee. His knee is f**ked.

i refuse to believe that. there's a process, and it involves getting it fixed and rehabbed. then you see what is going on. this is panic talking.

Rely on the WRs you drafted in the 1st and 4th rounds? Look to add someone like Dionte Johnson or DeAndre Hopkins, both who are on teams that are going absolutely nowhere. They have some options.

Best case scenario is that Pearsall and Cowing both step up and become reliable playmakers.

Jennings was contributing more than BA anyways. Move him to number one, move Deebo to number two, and round it out with Pearsall and Cowing. Trade Bell for a bag of peanuts or appoint him as designated waterboy so he's forced to remain inactive on game days.

I wanna see more of Cowing!!! He's exactly what has been missing on this offense, a Tyreek Hill-like receiver!!! What street free agents are out there? I bet they bring Terrace Marshall back!!

It will all depend on the surgery and how he recovers (PT) goes….acting like he's never gonna cut again or be himself as a 26 yr old elite athlete who's job going forward is rehab is silly.

the money is the money, it's football and that's why these guys fight for every dollar and rightfully so.

No one is trading for Bell.

Did Chubb just come back from potentially worse? Or the year before?

It's WAYYYY too soon to think his career is over or whatever some folks are putting out there.

my god I just saw Nick Chubb play yesterday after having some of the most gruesome knee injuries I've ever seen. Dude almost lost his leg last time.

overall it sucks and I feel for him as a human. Never want that s**t to happen to anyone.
