Chase 2024 Triple Crown: 1708 yards
Jefferson Career 17 game AVERAGE: 1640 yards
Maybe it's the baseball fan in me, but I like large sample sizes to make definitive decisions like that. Otherwise you end up potentially proclaiming Cooper Kupp/Josh Gordon/Victor Cruz/Juju Smith-Schuster as the best WR in football. (Not that Chase is any of those guys, but just proving my point that one amazing year far better than anything he's put up before isn't necessarily the new norm.)
I agree in principle, though I think Chase's rookie year is more than a legitimate second-best stellar season that already separates him from the one-hit wonder types.
I don't object to anyone putting Jefferson first for now.
