A WR1 is still more "valuable" than a WR2 that can play RB too. I think so many of you are missing this aspect of team building and roster construction. It's not debatable, Aiyuk is 100% their WR1, and you don't choose your WR2 over your WR1 all things even. If Deebo is the significantly cheaper option, then that's a reason, but not "versatility". |

There's not a single exec, coach, or scout that would've ever preferred Lamar over Pat at any time. There were many players, and probably even some that still would. Players have absolutely no ****ing clue in comparison to execs, coaches, and scouts. You think Kadarius Toney's opinion matters more than Veach and Reid? |

Probably should be on the list somewhere. I think it probably points to how the player is valued by peers more than just ‘is this guy a prototypical position player?’

I mean, who knows how players think? Or any of these guys. Maybe it's just a function of how much primetime they get. Amon-Ra should've easily made the Pro-Bowl but wasn't selected. Only the AP paid enough attention to select him to the All-Pro first team offense. A few years ago, iirc, Mike Evans said in a presser that Jameis Winston was an elite QB. Stuff like that makes me seriously question just how discerning most players really are. |

Your opinion is Aiyuk is more valuable than Deebo. Nice, that’s great - don’t be such a **** about it. |

Also, Virus literally said that not a single exec would choose Aiyuk over Deebo. That's why I posted that. Keep up. |

Decades ago, I believed that a lot of the sports journalists out there were decent evaluators of player talent. These days not so much. But they do have the benefit of not having a real stake in the players, which you can't say about their teammates. I would tend to think that GMs and scouts would have a better idea of who is better than who though. They should, you would think anyway. |
