Either way, it's a drastic improvement from either of the past two years!
I only bring this up because I have the top pick in tonight's fantasy football draft and the consensus is to take Jefferson, but I started doing research on taking Chase first overall.
What I found out was that Jefferson's air yards were almost twice as much as Chase's last year, which means that our line struggled so much that Chase only had half as much time to run downfield before Burrow had to get rid of the ball.
We almost won a title the past two years having two of the worst lines in the league and now we're DRASTICALLY improved, so I'm even more excited!
I'm going to stop by the casino when I get the chance to place more bets
WHO-DEY!
Chase is going to have a great year. I dropped about $1500 on Burrow and Chase autograph cards (and Jefferson) before the season. That being said I’m not sure I would’ve picked him over JJ, I still think JJ is probably gonna go down as the GOAT when it’s said and done, but Chase will be top 5, maybe top 3. People forget how much of a freak he is, because of his lost momentum last year. Even though NCAAF and NFL are worlds different, it should count for something that Chase owned Jefferson with the same QB. Burrow > Cousins (even though Cousins is really underrated).
Anyway, I feel like I’m back in high school pulling for the Saints. That was my favorite time to be a NFL fan. Waiting for the Bengals’ 2009 Saints “pinch me” moment. I’m genuinely excited for you guys because when (not if) it happens for y’all, it’s gonna be beautiful. Especially if you’ve been watching in misery for the last few decades like I was with the ‘Aints.
Side note, when Burrow and Chase win multiple SB’s I’m probably going to make a pretty penny on these cards if I’m not too much of a sap to keep them and give them to my nephew when I’m dead.
