People get hung up on production, which is important, but lose sight of the impact a player has on the other team and their game plan. As an example, Chase's rookie year, teams wanted to play single high, load the box, and come after Burrow. The following year, teams were sitting with 2 high safeties all game because of the ridiculous number of TD bombs Chase came down with. Mixon has had one of the highest %'s of carries against light boxes. He can't do anything with them because he's washed up, but we can see how the defense is affected. Higgins doesn't bring anything to the table that dramatically affects the defense. That's why, Chase or not, I'm against paying him top end money.
Interesting thought on trading Tee to the Vikes for JJ. Actually could be possible yah never know. Very true on how teams were affected
by what Chase brought to the league and how they adapted. Chase is the WR we need to keep this just goes without saying. The top end
money should be going to Chase and the trenches now that Burrow is locked up. We can draft skill players to compliment the rest.
