I'm hoping he works out with Trey again this off-season

I think he said that he is

I don't even want to post what I've seen. Pain.

Dude it's unreal

Just saw Greg Cossell, my goodness man and his breakdown isn't the worst I seen out there. Can't blame the thumb or shoulder either
I'm glad we have him on 5 year deal. I hope we have 5k passing yards next season.
This kid i honestly has what it takes to be a star, we've all seen if the pass was on point he's taking it, got the speed, route running, hands could be better and attitude is on point, I believe that makes a potential star at the position

I am actually thinking Deebo dips a bit. I can see Aiyuk booming and Kittle going up big time as well.

I thought this as well, but honestly what I'm hoping for is that we pass the ball more. There's so many yards we left out there. I think our trio is capable of 1K and the yards will definitely be there. I hope the pass helps out our run game. Teams just did not respect our passing game. Trey will make him pay next year.

He's always been a baller, not some chump like some wanted to paint him as. His rookie season wasn't some mirage.

Posters tried to call him a bust, pettis 2.0

He's the best PURE WR we have... he's just not being used the right way..

By used the right way, do you mean not thrown the ball after getting open multiple times every single game?

Aiyuk will get more targets with Trey at the helm.
He's a stud. Real good player but he does quit on plays a little too soon. He has since improved but coach needs to reinforce playing till the whistle. More than once he has kind of been unfocused and not around the ball for drops/ tips especially interceptions.
Lance being the starting QB bodes well for Aiyuk. It's been apparent all season that he's constantly around Lance. When I was at the Texans game, the two were virtually inseparable during pre-game warmups. Expect Aiyuk to have a big season next year.
Aiyuk was very open for big YAC yards last game and the line couldn't hold up for a statue QB and on top of that Jimmy's injury limited his throwing, so he opted for the easy checkdowns.

Definitely someone to be excited about for next year. He could legitimately look like a top-10 WR by the time next season's done. The ceiling is absolutely up there. And think about how Deebo could theoretically (though that may be impossible given his crazy yards per touch this year) be more effective—or at least perform at a similar highly efficient per touch basis—with slightly fewer touches and in a more balanced offensive attack. Same goes for Kittle — the more legit threats we have — along with a QB who can get them the ball all over the field — the better for everyone

Yup, I never understood when people said he was the wrong pick, a bust, picked too high, etc....

I can't imagine what it'll cost to keep Aiyuk in addition to Deebo, I'm 100% confident they'll extend both, but the good thing about Aiyuk is he's not eligible until after 2022, plus he has the 5th-year option, but, like with Bosa, I think they'll do a deal before his 5th yr, plus in 2024 & beyond the cap will be going way up each year thanks to the new TV deals.
