He hasn't done that yet.
In their careers, JJ is 96.7 YPG whereas Chase is 84.0.
JJ has reached 1400+ yards 3 times in his 4-year career, only likely missing it this year because he only played 9 games. However, JJ was on pace for over 1600 yards if he had been able to play the whole season.
Aside from just faith that one day Chase will be better than JJ, there's no evidence at this point to justify a bigger contract.
Maybe in the same realm, but not bigger than, IMO.
Burrow never out produced Mahomes either, but that didn’t stop him from getting a record contract.
As for comparing counting stats you left out a big one in TD’s. Chase has the exact same number as JJ (29), in 15 less games.
