The only truth is that BA would blow Lamb out of the water if they had the same amount of receptions
Actually, that is not true. Think about what I just quoted. Lamb is probably a top 5 receiver, but you think Aiyuk would 'blow him away' if given the same opportunities? Brandon Aiyuk is not Jerry Rice....because that's the level of talent you would need to be, to 'blow away' a top 5 receiver in the NFL.
I believe you are simply going on the averages based on last years respective production, but the fact of the matter is, that kind of logic doesn't hold up. There is exactly zero % chance that BA would be as efficient if he was on Dallas, just as there is zero doubt that Lamb's efficient numbers would be high if he was suiting up for SF.
The Cowboys offense went through Lamb, Dak and the passing game...and every defense they played focused on stopping that first. The 49ers offense went through CMC and the running game, therefore opposing defenses geared to stop that first. The supporting cast around Aiyuk is better than what was around Lamb.....all of this contributes to how efficient a player can be.
The bottom line is, Cee Dee Lamb is a better receiver than Brandon Aiyuk....and I think generally most everyone would agree with that.
