It’s pretty much invalid to compare a tight end to a wide receiver on the basis of simple passing game metrics. They don’t have the same jobs, and their production doesn’t align even for the very best. The tight end position just doesn’t produce as many yards receiving.
If we’re to to say “Ja’Marr Chase is playing better than Kyle Pitts”, it must be on the basis of something much more solid than that. Is Chase better relative to his own position than Pitts is relative to his own position?
Yes, I think so. I don’t think it’s just some obvious, irrefutable thing though. Pitts is 3rd among TEs in yards and comfortably 1st in yards per catch. Chase is 2nd and 1st respectively among WRs. Chase gets the edge for me on the basis of impact, as his biggest plays have come at extremely opportune times.
But the dialogue in this thread has been really bad. That’s not sandwedge’s fault of course.
