However, in a debate about one player being better than the other, critical drops count much more against a player than a ball off of the fingertips or a pass broken up by good coverage.
I'll give you an example. During the Chargers game, when the Bengals had some momentum and were looking like they were going to get back into it, Chase has another lapse in focus that resulted in bumbling away what appeared to be a sure TD. The best WR on a pro football team simply does not allow himself to keep having those fundamental lapses in focus. Advantage - Higgins
You can do that with everyone, for example Higgins fumbled a ball in Chicago in the 3rd while we were struggling to get our offense going that would have had us on the Chicago side of the field and almost in field goal range. Tee has had some tipped ball ints this year as well, it’s not like he has been immune to mistakes this year.
Seems kind of weird to even be debating this whole thing when we should be happy we have maybe two of the top 10 young receivers in the game.
