Aiyuk Requests a Trade

[Fresno Hawk]

He's better than any current Seahawk WR. I would argue that he is underrated because he doesnt get the number of targets some of the higher stat guys get. Also, please show me a highlight of him getting covered by a LB

Targets behind both your boys. DK "9 route" Metcalf and Tyler "YAC is something I do when I drink too much" Lockett

You can't be serious, he is definitely not better than DK or Lockett. Also most of his catches are from running across the middle flying right by lbers and safetys. It's part of the Shanahans route concepts. Very rarely does he stay outside being covered by corners the whole game. I think this past season I seen him make a couple plays down field in the playoffs but that's it.

There's no denying that Brandon Aiyuk is an excellent, if not elite receiver. He was second in the NFL last year with 17.9 yards per reception. He's looking for WR1 money, but the 49ers are already paying Deebo Samuel $24 million per year. The 49ers have reportedly offered $26 million, but Aiyuk wants more. It's hard to argue that he doesn't deserve it, he was PFF's second highest rated receiver last year behind Tyreek Hill.

I would love to get Aiyuk off the 49ers, but I would hate for the 49ers to get a lot of draft capital in a trade. What I'm hoping for is an extended holdout and then a crippling deal and lingering resentment on all sides.

Which just proves to me that you just watched the 49ers when they played the Seahawks in the regular season, and the playoffs.

Aiyuk may get traded for picks, no doubt that’s what the brass wants just a question of will a buyer give them that 1st rounder that they will probably will then turn into a terrible D line pick.

No the difference between me and you is that your going to internet for stats. I go by what I see. And it's like I said previously, he's overrated and the beneficiary of playing with 3 dominant offensive players. Your probably basing your arguments from last year alone, wich was maybe his best year as a pro. That's usually what experts on websites rate players from.

I offered Bobo for Aiyuk but I am willing to up the ante: Bobo and Eskridge plus 4th round pick for Aiyuk. This is a deal 49ers couldn't refuse, a speedy big play guy and a tall smart procession WR.

As I posted previously. OVERRATED he's been on arguably the best team the last 4 years and is barley showing improvement inyear 4. Dk and Lockett have been on one of the worst teams over the last 3 years and have almost the same exact stats. If Dk was in an offense like that he would be in the running for MVP.

You say "offense like that" but fail to mention the 49ers offense has always been run centric , especially when Jimmy was at the helm. I think Aiyuk is just beginning to show what he can do becuase the 49ers finally have a QB that can throw the ball more. And he is still not racking up elite numbers because he doesn't get near the targets. Not really surprising at all that his stats started increasing in 2022 when Purdy got the starting job

I really think Mcafferty is the cheat code for the offense and WRs
Without him you just have mid to just above average.

Run centric offenses are most dominant. And even with Jimmy at QB that offense was top 10 in the league. I surely don't think Aiyuk will have the same kind of year he did last year. And when it mattered most in the playoffs he only averaged 3 catches each game and was not up to par. # OVERRATED

 

[GemCity]

I think Aiyuk is a stud. I understand what the stats say but if I have the option of signing him or DK, it’s DK all day/every day.

Love Tyler…if age wasn’t a factor, I’d chose him as well.

Not a knock on Aiyuk. But, he does have a plethora of weapons beside him.

Damn man. You went full Marvin on that one. Hilarious.

Damn man. You went full Marvin on that one. Hilarious.

For pointing out the obvious to everyone in the entire NFL world except Seahawk fans? Was Metcalf or Lockett second team all pro last year?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

DK is better. But feel free to have your opinion. Just like I have mine. On a SEAHAWKS page.

You are entilited to have your opinion that nobody agrees with except seahawks fans

 

[SoulfishHawk]

That's adorable.

 

[Seahawks Guy]

Say you could have either for the same salary. Would you rather have him or DK?

Spent the last two weeks in jail and am catching up on news. Apparently I missed a few things on the political scale... Trump has some problem with his ear, Biden dropped something, anyway, I'm onto NFL stuff right now. Aiyuk is phenomenal, but you'd think eventually that team would have to not pay somebody. Wouldn't be an awful choice for the Niners to move him IMO. They're still great without him.

I'm scared to look up celebrity deaths. Jimmy Carter and Dick Van Dyke are still good, right?

I don't think anyone can say the only people that attest DK Metcalf to be a better receiver than Aiyuk are Seahawks fans. That's simply a way to DQ the argument on a Seahawks page. ChatGPT hedged a couple times but when pinned down (asked a 3rd time to decide):


DK Metcalf is generally considered the better wide receiver between him and Brandon Aiyuk. Here are some reasons why:

1. Physical Dominance: Metcalf possesses exceptional size (6'4", 235 lbs), speed, and strength, which make him a formidable matchup for any defender. His physical attributes allow him to excel in contested catch situations and as a deep threat.
2. Production: Metcalf has consistently put up impressive numbers since entering the league, demonstrating his ability to produce at a high level. He has been a key target for the Seattle Seahawks, amassing significant yardage and touchdown receptions.
3. Skill Set: His ability to win jump balls, create separation with his speed, and make big plays down the field are highly valued in today's NFL. Metcalf's combination of athleticism and skill makes him a dynamic threat in the passing game.

While Brandon Aiyuk has shown promise and has his own set of skills and strengths, DK Metcalf's physical prowess and production give him the edge in being considered the better wide receiver at this point in their respective careers.
