Brandon is a better pure WR, a better route runner, is better getting off the line, smoother runner and gets open easier and also has great YAC ability.
I think this is where Pearsall comes into play as he is a mixture of both Deebo and Aiyuk. This is why I think we can let Deebo walk after this year and the transition for Pearsall to the number 2 receiver should be pretty seamless as he already has some chemistry with Aiyuk from college and it seems like him and Purdy are already off to a great start.
All in all though im hoping the deal with Aiyuk gets done here in the next week so that we can put this to bed and he doesnt miss any training camp. Im predicting 4 yrs 120 mil ,85 mil guaranteed with 53 mil guaranteed at signing. The last 2 numbers which are the important ones would place him 2nd in both categories in guaranteed money, whereas he would be tied for 4th with his total contract, but usually whats important to players is the guaranteed portion of the contract.
