Aaron Rodgers’ ex-teammate James Jones raises questions over Brock Purdy’s impact if Brandon Aiyuk leaves the 49ers
Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports

The former Super Bowl winner and Aaron Rodgers’ ex-teammate James Jones recently raised doubts about the San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy . He believes if the trade of their star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk takes place then the quarterback might lose his charm.

Following all the complications surrounding Aiyuk’s future, the San Francisco 49ers management started initiating talks with the wide receiver. However, the two parties were apparently not satisfied with each other. Now, with each day passing the possibility of Aiyuk departing seems to be increasing.

Following that, Jones claimed that Purdy would not be as dangerous as he used to be. Remembering what Aiyuk has been doing on the field over the years, the former player had a lot to say on Speak.

I am worried about him… Brandon Aiyuk brings what Davante Adams brings, what Justin Jefferson brings, what Amari Cooper brings – and that is the ability to run great routes and get instant separation. When a quarterback sees that, that is what makes a quarterback better on a lot of these timing routes. James Jones said

The Niners are trying to rearrange the team. Purdy will be in the final year of his rookie contract. The other players are also settled in the squad. It is to be seen what happens with the Niners wide receiver.

Brock Purdy has to make great adjustments if Brandon Aiyuk gets traded, believes James Jones 

James Jones had another interesting analysis. He said that the 49ers would have to go all in on the NFL Draft to get an ideal replacement for their wide receiver.

Stepping into the shoes of the wide receiver would not be an easy job believes Jones. Hence, Brock Purdy might witness some major problems when it comes to twinning.

And when you lose that type of player, now you're trying to either go into the draft or free agency to find a guy that can do some of those things... It will definitely be a huge adjustment for Brock Purdy if Brandon Aiyuk is not out there. James Jones added

As things stand right now, Aiyuk is still not convinced with the Niners’ plan. It is to be seen whether the team manages to retain him.
