I’m not arguing or debating with you; I agree with you in principle. To me the criteria for selecting a wide receiver are discipline in route running, catch radius, and straight line speed.
For a guy like Chase, all his attributes together are what allows him to separate. That's not a common thing for most WRs. Athletically, Auden Tate is the opposite of Chase but he's able to make a buttload of catches with defenders draped all over him.
If a guy is productive, i don't care how he does it, as long as he does it.
To use "separation" as a metric to judge a WR is simply short-sighted and asinine.
