Where did I ever say that Tee is as fast as Jamar?  I know this.  I’ve never put tee in top 12.  In fact the only people who keep wanting to compare Higgins to Chase/jefferson is folks like you.  

We will pay Chase, that’s not a question,  the question is, has been and always will be, does trading tee Higgins help/hurt  the bengals in the short term and long term.

I was in the trade tee camp at the start of free agency.  I figured you might be able to backfill the production with a vet WR and/or the bengals could potentially go after a game Wrecker at another position to get positional strength.  With FA all but dried up, tee Higgins as a bengal, provides the best chance of the bengals getting back to the Super Bowl.   I also feel like if you trade tee Higgins, you are getting Pennie’s on the dollar.

Next Gen stats weren't even a thing for most of AJ's career.

FWIW, AJ ran a 4.48 at the Combine.  Higgins ran 4.59, over a tenth slower. They do not have similar deep speed.
