However, as has pointed out numerous times by other posters, when Chase doesn't have success, the Bengals don't have success.

Beyond that, he's a great young player that will help the team be more successful in years to come.  People should be happy for him.

You can't use our recent losing ways as proof that we live or die by Chase having big games. It's not like he's just not having big games, he was actively contributing to our losses by being terrible, frankly.

Glad he rebounded yesterday though, and wish we would've kept throwing in OT.

I hope he finds his form again.

That 4th quarter against SF was the Joe & Ja’Marr show.

I...don't think so.

Green: 61-1006-7 (16.5 YPC)
Chase: 60-1035-10 (17.3 YPC)

Chad's first 13 starts were a bit slower:

Chad: 52-819-4 (15.2 YPC)

That said, Chad had to earn his way to get targets as a 2nd round pick, and his QB play was often terrible. For example, in one of his starts, Akili targeted him 10 times without a single completion.

If you only look at Chad's first 13 starts with Jon Kitna, it's nearly identical to Green and Chase (in catches and yards at least):

Chad w/ Kitna: 61-1004-4 (16.5 YPC)

Great company for Chase. I think it's safe to say he's our next star WR.

Even with the slump and Jones being a QB I think it’s a joke that he’s become a heavy favorite to win the award.
He is a game manager who’s playing for the GOAT coach. He won’t lose you many games but he isn’t going to win any for you either

Chase needs to finish strong and i think he can win it (especially if the Bengals pull their heads out of their asses and make the playoffs)
