This type of thinking is why I'll probably never "embrace the kid."

Burrow is elite. Absolutely a top 5 QB in the league. Does having Chase help him early on due to their chemistry? I'm sure but how long did it take for him to get into a groove with Higgins last year? One game, two? Burrow wins games, his decision making and his not getting rattled. I think he'd win with almost any WR you put out there if he had protection.

Elite QB's make average WR's great like Brady did for years in New England, and good WR's, elite like say Rodgers and Adams.

If you really want to understand the impact of a QB on WR play and why it is more about the QB then any WR look no further then the team that just beat the Bengals in the Super Bowl.

Kupp with Goff = Best year was 94 rec 1161 yards, 10 TDs

Kupp with Stafford - One year only 145 rec 1947 yards, 16 TDs

Is Chase good, sure. Is he some mythical creature like a lot of fans make him out to be? No. ****, A.J. Green is better in my opinion, look at A.J.'s numbers he put up with the handicap of Dalton, rookie A.J. with Burrow's talent would have been unreal. All the worship of him and the "he won those games" comments just make me like him less and less. I like team guys, Burrow, Shooter, Bell, Awuzie, I'm not into people that start converstations with "I'm going to break all the records" or when asked about if he should be rookie of the year " “I better be”.

If he made those comments and was on the Steelers you and everyone else on this board would call him Antonio Brown Junior...but since he is in stripes, he could pull a Henry Ruggs and people would still be all in on him.




As for OL...they can't wait till pick 31. They have to go out in FA and get it right.
