For the last three games of the season, Uzomah averaged 4 catches for 28 yards. For the last four games of the season, Uzomah averaged 4 catches for 35 yards per game. For the last five games of the season, Uzomah averaged 4 catches for 32 yards per game.
Hurst is being more productive than Uzomah was - that's it. There isn't an argument to be made here. If you say otherwise, you're wrong. Now, if you are trying to say that you want him to be as productive as he was in the two post-season games (LV/TEN) then okay, sure. Or, if you are trying to say that you want Hurst to have the peaks that Uzomah did (JAX/BAL), okay, that's great. Those are different discussions. However, that hasn't been what you have communicated thus far. You have said that Hurst hasn't been as productive as CJ was, and there is no other answer to that other than "incorrect".
Granted it's a small sample-size, but has Hurst taken over a game like Uzomah has? Has he had any CLUTCH huge plays and TD's? Watch highlights from last season - there's a LOT of Uzomah in them.
Now, I WANT Hurst to be as good/better than CJ, as that helps the team. However, I just don't see it... YET. Maybe Burrow needs more time to develop that needed chemistry. Maybe Hurst needs more time to develop that leadership role/mentality. All I'm saying is if you think losing Uzomah has had zero effect on the Offense, you are "incorrect."
