The Ja'Marr Chase Thread

Chase 17 catches on 25 Targets, 297 yards, 4 TD's

Dyami Brown 5 catches on 14 Targets, 51 yards, 0 TD's

Terrace Marshall. 11 catches on 17 targets, 93 yards, 0 TD

This debate should have died long ago yet... for the next five years it will be sure to rage on... since, it is the internet and people act like fools when they are anonymous.

But in this one instant I have to take a moment and point out a little reality here.

You are comparing those numbers without looking at the other two giant factors in the comparisons.


First - Joe Burrow vs Sam Darnold vs Taylor Heinicke. It's pretty safe to assume that those other guys would be better if they had better QB play. 

Kyle Pitts has 15 catches on 26 targets, 189 yards, 0 TD's. So clearly the Falcons made a mistake right? Or maybe their QB is on the backside of his career and their offense is trash.

The other big fun fact, is usage. In Carolina, there is D.J. Moore, Robby Anderson and some guy named McCaffrey that get the most targets. In Washington, it's the Terry McLaurin show followed by a ton of dump off passes to TE's and RBs because their offense is HORRIBLE. Meanwhile in Cincinnati Chase is the focal point from Burrow. He is second in targets to Boyd by 5 and that number is inflated by Boyd's 9 targets against Jacksonville. Literally comparing apples to zucchini with this comparison.


Four weeks into a season and people want to compare draft results.... 

Which is funny, since the people pounding their e-pen's over the chase pick the hardest are the same cats that were screaming at one poster over and over that is was too soon to judge the Herbert v Burrow debate. Pick a lane.
