1. Matchup issues; Smith is one of those WRs that you can use in more matchup issues
2. Play sets: You can design more play sets with Smith than Chase
3. Senior vs. Opt out- how would Chase have done without Burrow.. we just saw what a great performance by Smith did with a QB not the caliber of Burrow
4. It Factor: just like Burrow, the feel is Smith has it.... he just seems to command the field as a WR.. hard to measure the intangible but he seems to have it.
Considering Jones put up big numbers last year and this year, I don't think there was any fall off from Tua. Chase would have had a down year, no question about it with all of the offensive talent that left LSU - both Burrow and the other WRs and line. Alabama pretty much brought back their whole offense.
