Hurst (56 for 571) had slightly more catches and yards than CJ (49 for 493).
CJ made more big plays (20+ yds) than Hurst (7 to 5), and had a significantly higher catch percentage (77.8 to 63.6) and "yards-per-target" (7.8 to 6.5) than Hurst.
Average per catch and tds are almost identical (Uzo 10.1 and 5, Hurst 10.2 and 6).
Hurst should have a great year playing in the '22 Bengals offense, but so would CJ.
Hurst did it in a bad offense
and Hurst's dropped passes per target percentage in 2020 was 4.5%
Uzomah's in 2021 was 6.3%
Advantage Hurst
Hursts dropped passes per target percentage in 2021? 0%
I repeat, ZERO PERCENT
so less dropped passes per target with a qb that isnt as accurate as Burrow, and a career year that is better than Uzomah's best.
