I think he is gone for sure. Doesnt make sense to keep him. His talents dont match our offense. Guys like Deebo and Kittle fit our scheme because they had to the run game and misdirection. Shanahan can get most WRs. We would be throwing money out the window and missing an opportunity for more drat picks. Trade him and use those picks on the O-line and Defense. Lets build a jugernaunt D and monster O-line. Thats how we become SB champions

I feel the opposite. We have a young QB, and we are trying to maximize his success and our window, on his rook deal. BA is the clear #1 favored WR of Brock. BA when he is not facing KC, gets separation. He's the best route runner and target we have in the pass game.

If you get a chance to see the all-22, he actually separated plenty against KC, which probably only pissed him off more about his production being limited by the offense.

Not really. He got open on the fake screen. There were a couple times where his defender blitzed or slipped, but other than that he struggled

So much reaching from that Rich guy. If you look before the ball is released on a lot of these Aiyuk isn't open. Some of these are zone too

I still don't see much separation from him vs man. Zone coverages he's good, but other than that he needed his man to slip/blitz to get real separation

When the ball is released is irrelevent and has no bearing on Aiyuk getting separation, which is the discussion at hand. You claimed he only got open on a fake screen and a couple of times when a defender blitzed or slipped. Both of those statements are inaccurate. The truth is Aiyuk did in fact get separation plenty of times against the Chiefs.

Exactly.

He was also going against one of the better CBs in the NFL so probably didn't get the amount of separation as he would against a lesser player, but he was open a lot against and all pro CB

Purdy went safe a few times for sure, but also didn't have time to go deep on others. I wonder how far along Purdy reads Aiyuk was on many of these plays?

Lolwut? When the ball is released is irrelevant?

Aiyuk is a decent 1, but he would make a great 2. He's like a Jeremy Maclin. I hope we hit on a Nico Collins type pretty sure he was a 3rd rounder

That sentiment seems to be shared by opposing defensive coordinators as well since most of them focus on eliminating Deebo. The Chiefs put McDuffie, their best CB, on Deebo and suffocated him. I don't think it would've gone well for BA against McDuffie, either.

Makes you wonder how BA would fare if he was the primary focus of opposing DCs.
