He's a solid #2 but he's not even close to the top guys. He's a borderline top 30 receiver.

He's not a 50/50 ball guy who you can just toss it up and know he is either going to come down with it or fight the db and knock it out of his hands. Or take a slant 80 yard type guy like Tyreek is or AB was.

He would be worth it if we had less talent but right now it's probably worth more to shore up offensive line then give him 20 million a year. He doesn't move the needle.

How'd you rate his performance yesterday?

lmao….it's WAY DIFFERENT than your description.

Dude is a total stud, IDGAF if he has a couple drops now and again, especially when the other half of the offense is struggling too, while he's getting those drops.

BA is arguably the best WR the Niners have suited up in the past 15-20 years……yeah I said it, 15-20 years…..my opinion yes, but to act like he's a #2 WR is comical.

Agreed but That's really not that strong of a comment, 😂. Who's even the competition the past 15-20years? Crabtree? Boldin for a couple yrs? Our receivers have stunk for a long time it has seemed.

this is the best WR room we've had in years

Deebo and Aiyuk are both studs and have different skillsets

48th in targets but 14th in receiving yards.

2nd in YPC
6th in Big Plays
11th in YPG
14th in 1st downs

BA is also the most open receiver in the entire NFL according to a chart that I saw last week and it isn't even close.

For him to be top 15th in most receiving categories but only 48th in targets tells me that he is top 15 in the league with the potential to be even higher if only he was targeted more. Imagine if he was targeted as much as those top 5 receivers, he would be dominating the league.

Isn't this how it goes…

Ive been told that you're like prepubescent teen girl that's waiting for her period to finally come, seems spot on.

Lol, true, but the dry spell between great WRs that have come and gone in that time makes me appreciate BA much more.

The fact that the receivers have been so weak has no bearing on how good he's been. The reality is, we have to go back to Terrell Owens, who last suited up for us exactly 20 years ago, to find a better receiver. And while Anquan Boldin was past his prime with us, he was no slouch.

Beefing up the O-line to get some good to elite run blockers AND pass protectors I think can have us shifting to more of a passing offense, or at least we can lean on the pass more when the run isn't. there. I think we could go off with Aiyuk, Deebo, Kittle, Juice, and CMC (as a catcher) if we wanted to and the pass protection could hold up.

Another great game. I say extend him right now.

I'm hoping we can extend both Aiyuk and Chase.

He played well yesterday. For comparison sake though Tyreek hill has 50% more yards than him at this point.

He might be the best since Owens. If your not in the deebo is the best since Owens camp.

He is still not a game breaker though and does let passes bounce off his face on occasion. There are a ton of good wr in the NFL. Its hard to say I wouldn't trade him for a guy like ceedee lamb though or one of the lower tier wr1s.

It's like would you rather pay deebo and ayuik 25 million a piece or have Jefferson at 35 million. To me it's a no brainer.

The chemistry this dude and Brock have is awesome to watch. The crazy anticipation BCB throws with to BA shows he's got a ton of trust in BA to win vs man or be in a spot vs zone.

CMC is the only reason why I would be comfortable going pass heavy. You could littetally spread everyone out and still have an explosive run game. However, I am a huge fan of Kyle's system and so is a a good portion of the NFL.

Truth be told that the O line has given up only 9 sacks this season. 12 of our 20 sacks have come from a blitz. If we max protected more on those blitzes, I bet it would allow Brock more time. The fact is that Brock is the highest blitzed QB in the NFL on 45.4% of his dropbacks. Blitzes leave bigger holes in the secondary and Brock is is an assassin with is feet, brain and arm. Let them keep coming.
