Again, this is a discussion that's actually about decision making within the offense… which is also where Jimmy was not up to snuff.
It's is entirely normal to have debates about which decision was the best decision within the offense, but there's no actual evidence that Kyle told Jimmy to not be aggressive in the pass game and ample evidence to suggest he struggled reading defenses and with field vision, and left plays all over the field.
Aiyuk's comments reflected that more than anything related to coaching.
Aiyuks comment about "there were plays when we knew we were never going to get the ball on the call"? Or essentially what he said?
Were Aiyuk's comments in relationship to who Kyle dialed up as the primary, or later in the progression (b/c of the QB's slow processing) and/or location on the field (where the QB may not attempt)?
He was saying that play calls with previous QBs (he didn't play much with lanxe and a lot with jimmy) - he knew he was never going to get the ball thrown his way on the play. Now with Brock, you never know and have to keep your head on a swivel.
same plays. Just different qb. He's clearly saying that Jimmy didn't attempt certain kinds of throws and Brock will. Regardless of what the first read is or anytbjng. He will progress through the play and try to hit the big play, even if the first read is a check down.
