Tee Higgins…. Steelers have Interest

Calvin Ridley was 2nd team in 2020…
Aiyuk and we this year, but cumulative since 2020, him and tee are close (based on how you comped juju and tee, but maybe that doesn’t work here? Let me know).
AJ brown and tee Higgins first 3 years are about as close as you can get. Anything related to last year and tee Higgins/burrow needs to be taken with a grain of salt.  

You give Ridley props for 2nd team all pro, 4 years ago.  But dismiss tee Higgins back to back 1k yard seasons due to horrible luck all around.

Lastly? Juju is overinflated with one outlier year.  He has only one year with 1000+ yards,  juju is Tyler Boyd.

I've been mentioning the lack of Tee Higgins accolades this entire time. Literally still the exact same location for the goalposts.

You actually didn't do the same. You said...

Quote:Ffs I can do this too, Michael Pittman jr, Brandon Ayuik, aj brown.


Calvin Ridley just got paid bank, tee is better than him. 

You didn't use All-Pros OR stats. You just said some random shit and complained about goalposts despite me being very consistent in the fact that you're overvaluing Tee.

I never dismissed Tee's 1k seasons, he is a very good WR, I said as much. I just don't think he's a true difference maker or reliably healthy. I also don't agree with this top-20 myth you keep pushing. Here, I will just take a page out of your book and also just make a list of names and make proclamations. Right now he would be behind (roughly by draft year, no other order)....

Puka Nacua
Chris Olave
Garrett Wilson
George Pickens
Ja'Marr Chase
Amon Ra St Brown
Jaylen Waddle
Devonta Smith
Nico Collins (if he repeats his 2023 breakout)
Justin Jefferson
CeeDee Lamb
Brandon Aiyuk
AJ Brown
DK Metcalf
Terry McLauren
DJ Moore
Cooper Kupp
Chris Godwin
Tyreek Hill
Stefon Diggs
Amari Cooper
Tyler Lockett
Mike Evans
Devante Adams
Keenan Allen

Then Tee is in a little muddle with DeAndre Hopkins, Michael Pittman Jr, Rashee Rice and Jordan Addison.

That puts Tee in the 25 (if you don't believe in Nico Collins' breakout and put him at the very front of the muddle) and potentially 31st at the bottom of that muddle. That's not counting the probably 2-4 guys in the 2024 draft class who seemingly like clockwork are going to come out of the gates great.

Tee could indeed be a WR1 for someone, but I don't think he'd be more than a bottom tier WR1. He is a top-30 WR. Investing heavily in a potential bottom tier WR1 (with durability concerns) to be your WR2 just doesn't make sense when trying to build a team. I notice you never even tried to touch the reality that Connor Williams and Stephon Gilmore (probably around or just a bit more cost than Tee's $22m) plus a 2nd round WR would help the team in 2024 more than Tee. It's reality, with Chase around Tee is a luxury and an expensive luxury made even worse by the fact he doesn't want to be here and doesn't want to play under the tag.

I'm sure you'll find another magical thing that is "moving goalposts" even though I have been consistent in both my praise and criticism of Tee. Enjoy. Have a good night.
