That all is not lost?

Yeah saying all is lost is just sky is falling thinking. But to post a bunch of Hall of Famers, a dude catching passes from some of the GOATs and a immobile QB having good season after knee injuries isn't the same situation as Aiyuk. I think with modern medicine he will be back to being a productive receiver but the list of players who took a year or 2 to fully recover if at all is probably a lot longer than the guys who had huge years after a knee injury.

Not sure how people don't see he wasn't worth the money and was hot garbage BEFORE the injury. We should have absolutely traded him when he pulled the diva BS during negotiations. He is not now, never was, and never will be a $30M WR

Still better than Deebo

Fingers crossed he comes back healthy. Between the skill set he brings to the table and the money they invested in him, gotta have him back.

I now appreciate him even more after this season.

I appreciate the 2023 BA. The 2024 BA is everything that was wrong with this football team this year. Overpaid, entitled, unprepared to play, and hurt.

Yah I'm over that already, no reason to dwell on that stuff. I hope he comes back with a vengeance next season.
