If my old man memory is correct, Mr. Burrow had a devastating knee injury around half way through Higgins rookie season. And if my old man memory is correct, Brandon Allen and Ryan Finley were the de facto starting QBs. My spelling may not be to the level of the Webster dictionary, but I would think having Ryan Finley or Brandon Allen would impact a wide RECEIVER stats unless there are people out there who think these two QB were just as good as Burrow. Also, everything slows down for a young QB in his second season which would benefit a high caliber rookie wide RECEIVER. In addition, the Covid restrictions on practices during Higgins rookie years would impact needed reps which weren’t there during Chases rookie year. Comparing rookie stats has it limitations.
These RECEIVERS complement each other very well. It is funny how some of you react to the question. Now I have to add not only never to discuss religion and politics on this board but to add never discuss who is better Chase or Higgins. I don’t believe Chase is that much better. He may be better, but not that much.

This is where I'm at, This board thrives on telling others how wrong they are. I've stated in my OPINION Ja'Marr is the better receiver at this point. I simply added "context" like volume and usage. It is definitely a worthy off-season discussion and doesn't need folks chiming in with "no merit", "ridiculous", "is this serious" ect. And we damn sure don't need members personally insulting each other if their OPINION happens to differ. That's some true "Fred" stuff
Like I said IRT to the discussion and without all the angst IN MY OPINION:
Justin Jefferson is currently the best WR in the NFL and has been better than Chase since they quit receiving balls from the same QB
Ja'Marr Chase is currently a better NFL WR than Tee Higgins, but a lot of that can be attributed to usage
Tee Higgins can be elite on his own, he doesn't need to benefit from Chase "drawing coverage".
