He's the best WR we've had since TO.

Agreed. Him and Deebo are gonna be a lot of fun to watch over the next few years or so.

Yeah, we finally have legit receivers for the next 10 years.

We just need to find our QB now

Trevor Lawrence maybe..

Soft. A better Pettis.

I'm pretty sure that you are being sarcastic lol. He's a very very good WR. With a different QB he will be a WR1. Next year he's going to be even better.

I am. But there's two areas he needs to work on. He gets bullied on slants and bodied out. Similar on deep balls. Not good at getting in physical position and high pointing even with those condor arms. He's physically skinny so he's going to need to muscle up and fight more in the NFL. He's an electric route runner but playing man, naturally, he's going to need to work on a few things.

He killed NE in man coverage all game. Dude get's open more than I thought he would his rookie yr and our QB simply misses the read. Aiyuk is visibly frustrated now multiple weeks and should be.

And no one wants a WR that doesn't get upset @ not getting the ball.

I gotta give Kyle credit for not effing up the position the last couple of years like previously. Not that we have all this skill before their major contracts come,...what do we do with it?

I was talking specifically about slants and deep contested balls and every rookie WR (hell, even pros) need to keep working on man. He's been very impressive otherwise though. He's a Kyle receiver so you can expect outside of Deebo, physicality, he'll need to learn how to get himself between the ball and the defender and win those contested battles more.

You're talking about two plays lol. The dumb, underthrown interception by Kimmy to end the half last week and the deep in route yesterday.
Neither were his fault.

He's had what 2 50/50 balls this yr? That first one Jimmy through a couple weeks ago he should have made a better attempt at it, or at least tried to get the PI. That's all stuff you learn as you go though.

he's made his fair share of contested slants thru 8 weeks. Hasn't caught all of them, but it hasn't been some noticeable issue IMO.

Slants and deep posts/corner routes are plays Deebo makes by getting inside the defender, bodies out and goes and gets at the high point. I'm saying Aiyuk will need to learn the same if he wants to perfect his balanced game.

Deebo doesn't have his hands or body control, in all fairness tho. Deebo's my guy but this kid has more potential.
