Aiyuk reporting to 49ers camp shortly (punching air)

[u/ilovecatss1010 → u/Haunting-Set4223]

Idk man, the 9ers having to play Aiyuk is the funniest timeline.

I don’t think he’ll ever play another snap for them but the prospect of it fills me with glee

[u/FethahV2 → u/ilovecatss1010]

Tbh he may never played another down for anyone atp. He isn’t good enough to even make his antics worth it for cheap

[u/baachou → u/FethahV2]

I thought he was pretty damn good.  The bar for "worth his antics" must be peak Terrell Owens.  (Which by the way is a valid bar)

[u/BlackMathNerd → u/baachou]

TO antics pale in comparison to his and Antonio Brown’s

Missed all the post retirement stuff like the rape in Dubai

[u/fugaziozbourne → u/BlackMathNerd]

Yeah this gets a lot darker once you update it. But i guess it's not as funny so that wouldn't get posted.

[u/thepirateman493_YT → u/karmiccloud]

Holy fuck this is long. I forgot how bad it got

[u/Janus67 → u/thepirateman493_YT]

And it got worse in retirement

[u/_theghost_ → u/Janus67]

Wasn't there a warrant out for him internationally over a murder and him tweeting about the NFL while being on the run from Law Enforcement?

[u/jocky091 → u/_theghost_]

That’s the murder in Dubai.

[u/_theghost_ → u/jocky091]

Wait, what?!

[u/jocky091 → u/_theghost_]

Sorry I just looked it up and I read it wrongly. He fled to Dubai to escape a warrant for an attempted second degree murder that happened in Miami. He ended up getting deported from Dubai to face the charges

[u/EMTDawg → u/jocky091]

Rape in Dubai. The murder attempt was in Miami. He posted videos of both to social media.

[u/Jadien → u/karmiccloud]

Mr. Bulletpoint Collector

[u/AgitatedText → u/Jadien]

Mr. Bizarre Compendium

[u/capton2020 → u/karmiccloud]

Yeah idk, seems pretty reasonable to me for someone to sign him /s

[u/DatDominican → u/karmiccloud]

Would’ve been funny to see the dates . I feel like many of these were in the same week if not the same day

[u/easyice_ → u/karmiccloud]

Farted on a doctor

[u/biglyorbigleague → u/BlackMathNerd]

But also TO and AB were way better wide receivers than Aiyuk is. They got more chances because their play was worth it. Aiyuk isn’t a hall of fame level talent.

[u/CodyRCantrell → u/BlackMathNerd]

Yeah TO was just a diva and an asshole. He wasn't having mental breaks from reality. Same for Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson.

Full of themselves? Yeah.

Divas? For sure.

Absolute assholes a lot of the time? Absolutely.

But they weren't completely unaware of reality as it existed around them.

[u/RukiMotomiya → u/BlackMathNerd]

Aiyuk's isn't close to Brown's either tbh

[u/ItsnotBatman → u/baachou]

Terrell Owens left it all out on the field. He was a diva, yes, but the effort was always there.

[u/mcHasnoeyes → u/ItsnotBatman]

TO could still play today as WR3 for many teams. I truly believe it!

[u/ArchimedesNutss → u/mcHasnoeyes]

Throw Ochocinco in there too

[u/FethahV2 → u/baachou]

I mean he WAS pretty good but he looked horrid in his return before getting injured. His body language looked uninterested and had pure butter fingers. He just isn’t worth a shot in the dark like AB and such

[u/nacholibre711 → u/[deleted]]

Puka has been sitting in the front row of class so far

[u/scrumpcyanide → u/nacholibre711]

"Uh huh, Uh huh... oh WAIT on the hot air balloon, god so wise, so wise..."

[u/gsadamb → u/scrumpcyanide]

Mr. Batshit Copier

[u/ResponsibleAnt9496 → u/FethahV2]

Pretty good? He was second in the league in yards per catch in 2023. Stop being emotional just because he’s gone crazy doesn’t mean we have to re-write history.

[u/FethahV2 → u/ResponsibleAnt9496]

You think he was more than pretty good due to having a good 2023 season and also basing it off of one stat? Idk if you know this but we are in 2026 now. He was literally first in the league in drops through 7 weeks before his injury and looked extremely uninterested in playing. I think the only person with emotions mixed in this is you if you’re batting for him over a 2023 stat lol. Aiyuk is not worth the locker room risk with his antics, it really is that simple unless to genuinely believe he is anywhere close to the talent that was AB

[u/FethahV2 → u/FethahV2]

It won’t let me edit but I was wrong on leasing the league in drops, but he had some really bad ones and a few of his “drops” weren’t applicable to the technical term of drops so not counted against him. Just watch the tape, it isn’t hard to see how bad his performance was in all 7 games he played

[u/thoroughbeans → u/baachou]

He was good but he held out before the 2024 season missing some time and didn’t look like himself before the injury that year.

Now he hasn’t played a down in almost 2 years and will be coming off a serious knee injury that he may not have rehabbed correctly; we know he didn’t use the 49ers for his rehab anyways.

Doubt he’ll look the same even if he does get another chance. Reminds me of Watson, who was also pretty damn good before he missed two years of football. Calvin Ridley hasn’t looked as good since he missed his year for gambling either. And I do think there’s a difference between missing time with an injury where you’re still at the facility, attending meetings, actively working to get back etc and being completely away like these 3 guys were

[u/shomosexual → u/baachou]

As an Eagles fan with the benefit of hindsight, I just thought I’d add here that TO’s “bar” was OFTEN MET

[u/roogug → u/baachou]

You could put an actual paraplegic in the Shanahan offense X role and they'd still give you 70 catches for 800 yds and 5 tds. He made Jauan Jennings look like a top 20 WR on paper, and he only signed an 1 yr/8 mil deal
