I really hate revisionist historians, Acho did you really watched that NFC championship game? Yes Aiyuk made an incredible catch however the 1 thing that stopped being mentioned is that the Niners were going to the goal line no matter what. How you ask? Well, it was already a "Pass Interference" on the Lions, go watch it again the yellow flag was thrown when the defender stopped Aiyuk causing him to get hit on his helmet causing the ball to bounce in the air. It was a P.I already, only Cowherd spoke about it on the 1st day then everyone like Nick Wrong took it as a validation that Purdy can't throw or should have been intercepted yet clearly didn't watch the game.
Its not that simple. Paying people early would require you to skip over other guys trying to get paid and could mess with your cap space and thats all assuming the guys you pay early pan out to be as good as you hope they are
@@marklumar2034in this case Aiyuk checks that mark though yes you don’t do it with everyone but the ones that clearly show it then you them. You pay big contracts to players who show great projection and Aiyuk has shown that, he’s gotten better every year
If you are franchising a player for multiple years, you should just pay them.... you realize the franchise tag would make him one of the highest paid WRs in the NFL; what would that accomplish that "sign him to a long term deal" wouldn't? /the 49ers can't reasonable franchise him AND pay purdy. Alot of bills are coming due in the near future for the 49ers
Actually they have to pay their QB next year and once that happens they won't have the money to franchise tag him without putting themselves well over the cap.
@@ToddIrwin I don’t got time to be playing around w/ unproven talent when I’m trying to win a SB( lost the last 2 choking away double digit leads ).. their passing game falls off w/o Aiyuk
But why are they refusing teams trying to trade for him and saying that they don't want to trade him lol. Aiyuk has been an All pro with Jimm G and Purdy as his QB
Brandon Aiyuk is acting ridiculous and these arguments are silly about Aiyuk going broke or not already having generational wealth. Brandon Aiyuk his kids and grandchildren will be set for life. He already makes 16 million a year and the 49ers offered 26 million a year which Aiyuk turned down. I sometimes think these millionaires and billionaires are out of touch with reality. Everybody in the NFL is greedy from the franchises on down but let’s not act guys like Brandon Aiyuk are going to be homeless and that he can’t take care of his children because he’s making 26 million a year instead of over 30 million a year. Everyone from the owners to the players are greedy. Be honest with your greed, stop being a diva, and stop putting down the 49er franchise by acting like they don’t want you when they clearly made you a good offer. The dude will be a distraction in the locker room. Aiyuk should be traded and if he stopped complaining I’d say good luck to him go get your bag.
@@TheAnonymous916it’s annoying. 🙄 Now if he had come across more like CMC in his dealings with the 49ers I’d have more respect for him. 26 million is more than CMC makes and he is arguably the best player on the team. I even think people like Dre Greenlaw who only makes 8 million dollars a year is more important to the 49ers than Brandon Aiyuk which clearly showed when he was injured in the Super Bowl. When Greenlaw was in the game Travis Kelce was completely shut down to the point he was throwing temper tantrums. When Greenlaw tore his achilles the 49er defense was not the same. Meanwhile Brandon Aiyuk had a mediocre game and yet wants 4 times more money.
well said gold jacket and no money. wtf XD moronic. budget and allocation. doesn't matter ... you play in this league you getting paid. you spend your bag and it aint there. we'll see if this was a bad move prolly soon.
We also didn’t lose the Super Bowl because of BA not getting the ball lol it literally went to overtime and the defense gave up a TD. These dudes spin every narrative and every game to fix the narrative lol
They forget he got the same amount of targets all games in the playoffs. Also, they must forget McDuffie and crew had the clamps on them most of the game
Quite right! And the guy they paid last off-season the biggest ever contract to a non QB player in NFL history was the sole reason they lost that game. He did not hold containment on matchpoint and the last play of the game! KC targeted Bosa ON PURPOSE! They also insulted Aijuk before and after the Super Bowl. Bosa wasn't worth it. Hopefully the team realizes this and sees that 1 TD in 9 career playoff games is NOT a guy you pay 30 million to keep! No betting on that though. This is the same team and management that made JG the highest paid player in NFL history based off of 5 games.
@@DS94everXev KC won… no dispute - great game to go OT. Thank you for your opinion and analysis … I believe Chris Jones blew up the plays where Aiyuk was wide open- especially OT Goal line. Not Bosa or Brock responsible for that. KC had the most OFF line holding penalties all year and how many holding calls in the SB? That winning TD play … Bosa was held in front of referee and that was not only play… look at clip -- right arm across Bosa grabbing him going past Mahomes… tape don’t lie.
@strawberryreacts9585 defensive line and secondary got better but that's about it. They are weak at LB with greenlaw out and not great backups. They also did nothing for that horrible oline.
@@nicktowe2558 my point is if they trade him for picks they don't get better this year, they get worse. What players are they actually going to be able to trade for to get better.
@@deciuswtasby yeah cause playing on a top 3 offense in the league really sucks. Maybe go to a better QB on a team that is worse and lose. Sounds so much better, no?
Agree, I think most sports shows miss that aspect. They want two big names instead of a few that work well together. Chemistry isn't forced and it's an easy watch
Yeah u right and even though Im a 49er fan I'm not in his shoes I would love for SF to keep him but if they cant reach a negotiation he is free to go to where he wants to go or play or whoever
@@jermbuccanen2888yea. Some guys want a ring. Other guys want money. Guys on the 49ers are taking pay cuts right now because the window is realistically likely 2 more years. SF is a big market. BA can easily get a ton of money through endorsements. Dak is still the highest paid QB considering salary and off field money. Look how happy Devante is in Vegas
@@E_alvarad0 yeah id love for him to stay a 49er at the end of the day that man has to decide whats best for him whatever he does I'm happy for him but I still would love for him to be a 49er
Signing for 26M sounds a lot better than playing for the 14M he signed for now. Sitting out for an extra 3 or 4 million while you are on pace to play for 12M less is an interesting decision for sure.
@@bacariwalker2220doesn’t care about that he’s in his prime so he has to get as much as possible because when the tables turn they are going to violate with the money you see how they doing stephon Gilmore right now
What he makes now has nothing to do with his new contract he’s trying to get. No matter what he’s gonna get the $14M this year. This is his time to get paid.
You can tell who the 49er fans are in the comments by how well versed they are on this subject. We’ve heard it all summer. Then you have the non 49er fans knuckle dragging and making loud noises with their clubs.
@@deciuswtasby for real. I know this is kinda irrelevant but last year I picked up BA on fantasy super late in the draft because no knew who he was. Just an example, but you’re 💯
I’m not a Niners fan at all I know he’s under contract and they can fanchice tag him if they want but I think they should trade him and let bro get his pay day he’s a very good player imp
@@-PURPLE-HEAD yeah obv, which is why they havn't signed. but i was pointing out he is a receiver so its normal for him to be asking for more than cmc.
@@AnStarK31832nd in passing should tell you how valuable WR are Meanwhile they are #1 rushing it. That should tell you how they value RB. Now compare the two.
@@DS94everXev idk how you can miss my point, WRs ask for more money because they make way more on average, I didn’t say 49ers find him more valuable than cmc or they have a better passing game.
@@noskillant6168 stop counting ppls pockets, you won’t even go to work for less money why should he? As a Eagles fan I love this trade request, get your money king 🙏🏾
The pass down field was a P.I. the Ref threw the flag but everyone forgot the play would stand if he didn't catch it .. Brock made the plays that counted really
4 million times 4 or 5. So you're talking about leaving an extra 10ish million on the table after taxes. Idk bout you but if I was in that position I'd want that 10 mill. That's a big chunk of change. He goes out and blows out an acl he'll never have a chance to get that $ back. Gotta get every dime as an NFL guy.
@marks984 considering that they will need to pay Brock soon as well as others who's either due for a contract or expiring on 2025, a HUGE difference. That's the issue though with having a lot of star power on the team. Can't have them all eventually. That's why some players took pay cuts this offseason
I definitely won’t argue that, as he is their best overall wide receiver on the team, but that does not mean that he is a top 20 receiver in the league. This guy needs the 49ers more than the 49ers need him. His best asset that he brings to the 49ers is the fact that he can block down the field, which is a priority on this team. His receiving skills are above average and that’s not to take anything away from him above average is top 32 in the league, but he is not a top 20 guy. There are so many other guys that most teams would rather have over BA.
Aiyuk averaged 5 catches per game in the 2023 season, so it was not because KC had better DBs that BA had fewer targets in SB. It was because the 49ers had too many offensive options to choose from.
I love Cmac I really do nun against him but bro got 2 deals since being a 49er and he wasn’t even drafted by them … it’s like a slap Ina face to aiyuk honestly
Wtf are you talking about? He was traded to the 49ers midway through 2022 and got an extension this summer. He has only had 3 deals total. His rookie deal and first extension with the Panthers and then his extension this summer with the 49ers. 🙄
Aiyuk may run amazing routes, he may be one of the best blocking WRs, but he is open most of the time because CMC is drawing a lot of attention. He is wide open because Deebo is taking on two defenders, while Kittle is taking on two defenders. Plus there is Kyle with his routes combos that allows Aiyuk to be open… and let’s not forget about the accuracy and lead capability of Brock’s arm. Bosa is the defense, he gets around 33 million. Aiyuk is not even close to being the offense… why pay him like Bosa? Aiyuk is crazy and getting a little selfish and over confident. Have we seen Aiyuk make catches while covered by defenders and fighting for the ball. How many contested catches does he have?… with it being a dot of a throw?
Well cmc would still be here if Ayiuk gets his money so thats a non issue. Idk when kittle and deebo are taking on 2 defenders when they dont have the ball. Also Ayiuk is an ELITE route runner he knows hoe to get open regardless of the route or it its agaisnt man or zone defenses.
What an absolutely abysmal take. If you're argument that Ayuik is only getting open because of his weapons... Then why doesn't this apply to any of the other players? Why is only Ayuik only getting the advantage and not his team? Is Kittle, CMC, not getting open because of Ayuik? Because he had 1300 yards last season. Y'all just try to find any reason to discredit this man. It's the Same argument used for Brock Purdy. Btw if you're gonna bring up contested catch then bring some facts with you. Because you brought up Deebo Samuel but his contested catch is wayyy lower than Ayuiks.
@@davidc2838 Based on what? That you say so? He's their number 1 receiver. And he has the most targets on the team. You have no evidence to back up your claims other than "trust me bro"
It's not about owing or not owing Aiyuk. The market is the market. Either pay him the market rate or consider him Casper the friendly ghost. If I was Aiyuk I'm not stepping on the field until I get a contract with a 3 as the first number. He might even take 29.5 lol
my theory on this. 49ers don't make a deal with BA and force him to play on his 5th year. Deebo is traded next year. BA gets paid for 2025, Purdy gets paid. Look at the contracts and numbers far as the 49ers are concerned that is where they just keep moving the money around.
B.A. is a great weapon and I hope he stays but with or without B.A. niners will be competing regardless we have depth in WR room . For as good as B.A. he's not the first option not even 2nd so why would they pay him #1 WR when he's not being used as one. I wish him all the best and If he wants out then so do I bye 👋🏼
As a Cowboys fan I hope he leaves. If they are smart the would sign him. Also the 49ers have a new defensive coordinator this aint the year to be cheap with your offense.
Here's my point yes you are right in our team he is the most targeted WR. By only 15 to Deboo and Kittle that's less than 1 target a game! Then you have a 3rd player in CMC with 22 less. That's 3 players that get 1 less targets than he does on average, now maybe since Purdy has proven to be a reliable QB things might change but our team this past yr ran the ball just a tad bit more than pass 50.4/49.6 you can say it's 50/50 when we run its primarily CMC so if you take into consideration the run game and passing CMC is our true #1 option then followed by (the slimmest of margins ) B.A. then Kittle and Deebo. My point is his average targets per game is less than 1 target per game than the other 2. If you compare him to the top WR in the league he comes in at #6 you got Hill,Collins, Jefferson, Nacua and Lamb ahead of him he is in middle of the pact in just about every statistical category except for YAC/catch not his fault it's just their usage rating compared to A.B. is much higher because normally on their own team they are the #1 weapon on their respective team o. Ours A.B. is not
These guys man.. Both side will take a step backwards IF this trade was to go down. For SF they’ll have to input someone who can become adapt to the playbook and speed of the offense. For BA. He goes to a team with a new QB and new offense/playcaller. He himself has to become familiar with the offense, timing with qb etc.
This is the trio which needs to be on the show all the time. James speaks facts, Acho doesn't show bias (unless I've missed it) in his takes, and Dave knows contracts and inside info and talks it from that perspective.
Look the 49ers haven't won a Superbowl in how many years?...... hmmmm let me see. And last 5 years they have lost in the Superbowl twice. So my friend the chance of winning a superbowl still looks slim. Therefore he should go for his money.
Top 5? In Today's game, Randy would obliterate every DB just like Tyreek but worse because he can jump. Wilson would be under no one except Mahomes with Randy Moss lmao@@BlackFriday31
It’s kind of funny that cmc does WAYYYY more than anyone else on the offense and after getting a raise he’s still making half of what aiyuk is asking for. I know each position is worth something different but reality is cmc is worth more than aiyuk
Listening to James Jones talk about the Packers and Dave Hellman talk about the Cowboys reminds me of trying to watch Skip Bayless's show. Reality takes a back seat.
Triggered 49er fans.. lol. Purdy system player too- why y’all so offended. Everyone knows, Shanahan is the reason why the niners have been so good, Aiyuk would be good, not great on any other team.
@@dpayne3646 so every player on that team is a system player? 😂😂😂 Deebo more of a system receiver than Aiyuk. Deebo needs Kyle to scheme him open, Aiyuk gets open on his own
For those players that went for the money over the ring.. do they ever feel like sacrificing some money would have been worth it looking back after they're done playing?
@strawberryreacts9585 If he had a better QB, he would have won a Super Bowl by now. Yet CJ Stroud, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, or so on be the starting QB for the 49ers, and I guarantee they would have won the Super Bowl by now. It's not happening with Brock Purdy anytime soon or never. Brandon Aiyuk playing with Patrick Mahomes would even do better. The 49ers had a chance to draft Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers, but they blew it as always
@@Kingtoby1981 CJ Stroud wasn't winning as a rookie. No rookie has ever even played in a SB. Outside of that, the top QBs in the NFL could win on a stacked team? Wow, what big brain thinking that is😂😂😂😂
@1inchpunisher715 Are we talking about stats or winning a Super Bowl? Put him on the Chiefs, and he's successful and wins a Super Bowl. As a matter of fact, put him on the Texans with CJ Stroud, and he gets his money, and they will always be a playoff team just like the 49ers. Again, Brandon Aiyuk would be successful anywhere he goes because he's a good route runner as long as he has a good QB
Counter is, put BA on a team where he is the #1 but there is a huge drop off at #2, TE, RB and even #3 wr, this means BA will pull more double and bracket coverage, does he get the same numbers? He has not had to beat these coverages in his time with the Niners, so you cant say he will be able to elsewhere. Just saying
At 10:20 Acho starts talking about targets. I love Acho, let that be said. But, the targets argument doesn’t wash with his understanding of Purdy. If it ain’t there when Purdy is making his reads he moves on faster than any QB in the league. When you have to stop, Samuels, Kittle, Ayuk and CMC, someone ain’t getting their flowers.
I have turned the corner on this situation. I think it is a great idea for Aiyuk to go get paid. It will severely limit what the 49ers can do on offense. As a Raider fan, I don't really care, but I have immediate family who are Rams fans, and they would love to have a depleted/reduced 49ers roster. I am all for everyone to win in this trade, even San Francisco via procuring a first round pick upon trade of Brandon.
he was benched the year before. one great year out of 3 isnt top wr pay. He has his own value and its more than what he has show hes worth consistently.
