Higgins or Chase…Who’s The Better Reciever

I’m of the mindset that you give your QB as many weapons as possible, no matter how good he is. Look at Rodgers in GB. I think most would agree only one trip to the Super Bowl was a massive underachievement for a QB of his caliber. Especially in the NFC where they didn’t even have to get through Brady and the Pats all those years. They did him a massive disservice by never surrounding him with enough weapons.

Now ofc you can’t let paying the skill positions stop you from addressing other areas like the trenches. That’s the balancing act, and why GM’s (or Duke in our case) get paid the big bucks. It’s not an easy job.

We're all of that mind set, but you also have to be realistic. We could be talking almost somewhere over $90 million on only 3 players, all involved in the passing game. That's only one aspect of a football team. Do we pay all 3 and watch the o-line suffer? The d-line? Who takes the hit? Who do we let walk to maintain that trio?

Or...do you trade Higgins or let him walk and take the compensatory pick while trying to replace Higgins with another draft pick at WR on a cheap rookie deal? Rodgers isn't the only example. Brady made Super Bowls with pretty weak WR corps. Eli Manning had some decent guys, but it wasn't Chase/Higgins. Who were the Eagles' WR's when they won? Wasn't Juju Mahomes' top WR last year?

Sure, some of those guys had great TE's, but Burrow will always have Chase.
