Ja'Marr talkin' smack?

Ja'Marr is a better WR than Chad and doesn't disappear in almost every big game. Ocho may have developed into the best route runner to ever play for the Bengals, but Chase is one unique creature that came in completely polished. Chad made some amazing plays in his time as a Bengal, but he never did anything that blew my mind and Chase has already done that a few times.

There was a vibe that Chad was a bit of a reach or over drafted in the 2nd round for a couple of years, I'm not sure anyone has ever had that feeling with Chase as the 5th overall pick. 

No. He isn't. He COULD be, but he currently isn't.

Chad: Multi-time 1st Team All-Pro
Ja'Marr: 0-time 1st Team All-Pro

Chad: Receiving Title
Ja'Marr: Never finished top-3

We had to do this whole song and dance with AJ Green after his first 3 years and people were saying he was better than Chad too, but it turned out that AJ peaked and never got any better and never put up any years where he was the best in the league at his position. Chad was the best WR in the NFL for a 3 year span. and top-3 for a 5 year span. Recency bias shouldn't make people forget how incredibly good Chad was.
