Chase on another team

[Johnny Cupcakes]

I was trying to make this point in another thread. Chase looks better because of Burrow. Burrow looks better because of Ja'Marr. We would see a big dropoff in production if we picked Sewell, and he would see a dropoff if Tua was throwing him the ball.

Chemistry matters.

Chase may have looked worse if he ended up with Tua throwing to him. I’m not trying to take anything away from him as an individual player, but that pre-existing chemistry with Burrow certainly gave him a head start to superstardom. BUT…it’s also played a role in getting Burrow there this quickly.

I think that relationship is at least partially responsible for some Bengals wins this year, and you’re silly if you disagree. I don’t think we’re a playoff team (YET) if Sewell were here instead.
