Yeah. I'm not disagreeing with you 👍🏻. I just think some people tend to use the "receiver market" as his set-in-stone value… I tend to believe that "value to the specific team" also plays a part… meaning a receiver like BA would hold more value on a talent-depleted roster than he might on the niners squad. Relative value, if that's what you want to call it. If that's the case, there really aren't any comps out there due to there not being any other receivers in this specific position.

example: I don't think ceedee would get that contract on this team either.

example 2: cmc got an insane contract on our squad that he probably wouldn't have gotten elsewhere

could be wrong. Just a thought

CMC I still believe is vastly underpaid if you look at how valuable he is. People need to stop judging him based on the position that he plays and look at him as a football player and all that he does. His annual salary is like $19 Million a season and the guy touches the ball over 300 times a season and is elite in all aspects of the game. To put it in perspective is there a WR in the league that is more valuable than CMC? Maybe Tyreek but it's close. And these elite WR's are getting paid almost twice as much as CMC. You have midtier WR's getting paid more than CMC. I am sorry but $19 Million a season is a bargain when it comes to CMC. But people look at it as expensive because of the label RB's get. He's not your typical RB.

Right, and that's my point exactly

Any player that can change what a defense has to do before the ball is snapped has worth that goes beyond his stats.

Not only does CMC produce.....but he alters defenses. Same with Deebo.

BA is a heck of a player, but I seriously doubt defenses will ever think of letting CMC, Kittle or Deebo run free...because come hell or high-water they have to layer the defense to limit BA.

BA is a good player, but he has not even matched peak Brandon Lloyd yet.

Yup. Watch how we win anyway
BA is going to regret this big time!
Hope he has fun getting his reps in Madden '24. Excited to watch the players who choose to play

I think we'll be fine with the two new rookies… of course after the growing pains. Far more concerned with the TW situation, but even that is just noise at this point. Let's f**king play football… I like the underdog role better anyhow

I'd start Cowing! I know this goes counter to everything Kyle believes in but desperate times call for desperate measures. He wouldn't be the only rookie WR starting in the NFL.

Give the kid a shot. I think he's special.

Could backfire if our rookies suck against the #1's. That said, Aiyuk has been acting like an overgrown toddler from the start. Contrast his actions versus Ceedee's situation; same situation, vastly different responses from the player. He's a really good WR but he's seeking a deal off of 1 year of top tier production. High risk he reverts back to his norm (~900 yards, ~13-14yds/catch).

This is an absurd statement. By age 25, Aiyuk was an All Pro. By 25, Brandon Lloyd's best year was 700 yards and 5 TDs. "Peak" Brandon Lloyd was at age 29, so Aiyuk has plenty of time to catch him. He already matched his number of of All Pro seasons in his career.
I wonder why the 49ers just don't put him on PUP

Sure you can throw caveats at the statement..... but I clearly used the word PEAK.... I did not say anything about age, or snaps, or years in the NFL.

How absurd can it be if it is 100% accurate and truthful as written?

BA wants 30 million a year, and he has not yet matched the high-water mark of Brandon Lloyd... True or False?

Not sure how that works. He's on the roster. I'm guessing the fines he's incurring for not practicing is probably larger than his salary? Odd situation.
