Kelce: 139 catches / 1,737 yards / 10 TD
Eifert: 91 catches / 1,060 yards / 15 TD

Why is it so bad for someone to want to see Eifert do better at non-TD things while trying to stay healthy in a full season's workload? I said the exact same thing about Marvin Jones after his 2013 season when he had 10 TD. Some people were jumping all over him as being amazing, and how the Bengals now had two #1 WR. He ended up following it up by missing the entire next season and basically being 2011 Jerome Simpson the year after that.

There's no reason to not hold off until we see more. If he tosses up 800-900+ yards and 10+ TDs in 2016, I will be first in line to call for Eifert to be paid.

The problem with just looking at the stats is that you fail to realize just how much synergy Eifert provides the offense.  Opposing defenses simply can't shut down him and Green at the same time.  Any time a team keyed on Eifert, Green killed them and vice versa.  

I love MLJ, Sanu, and even Burkhead (though his role was still very disappointingly limited) but none of them provide the threat of Eifert.
