Ja'Marr Chase Stats Through 7 Games

[EDGECRUSHER]

35 Receptions
754 Yards
21.5 YPC
6 TD

That draft trade is going to haunt this franchise forever. I hated it then and with each passing day, it gets worse and worse. It boils down to we traded Ja'Marr Chase for Jaylen Waddle and a 2023 1st rounder. No one in their right mind makes that trade before the draft and certainly not now.

P.S. Kyle Pitts is killing it too.

I will go on record that I did not want Chase, took a year of CFB for the Copvid (and rightfully so, his decision) but I definitely wanted Pitts.  Come on, Dolphins Front Office!  The dude isn't "no TE", dude is a WR through and through.  Built like a truck and runs like a deer.

how the fock could they not see this?  i wanted a lot of SEC games and that FLA offense with him running routes and the hands on him!  Fock Chris Grier and the folks that giving him feedback on scouting

I went into the last draft wanting Miami to grab one of 3 players, Chase, Pitts or Penei Sewell.  No disrespect to Waddle, but I'd take any of those three in a heartbeat.

Yeah, we absolutely missed out on the Top 3 studs. I like Waddle, he is a very nice player and will be even better once/if we fix the O-Line and run game, but he is not on their legvel and that whole spin of "Waddle was the guy" is complete horseshit to cover up for the horrible trade we made. If we got Waddle with the 12th pick and kept the two 1st rounders then I can justify it but not the trades we made.

Me too Stroke. I  think that if Tua and Waddle weren't team mates in college Dolphins would have drafted one of these other three.

Can you image if we had picked Herbert and Chase? Don't get me wrong Tua and Waddle were not terrible choices, but I don't think they were the best choices.

Oh we're doing the hindsight thing today huh.  I'm completely fine with Waddle, I think he can be just as good as Pitts and Chase.  I would guarantee if bum Brissett wasn't starting those 4 games, Waddle would have similar stats to Chase right now.

Drafting Herbert over Tua is hindsight since taking Tua wa sthe 98% consensus. Drafting Waddle over Chase and Pitts was the 0% consensus, no one had that shit and for good reason. I like Waddle and think he can be a Pro Bowler, but Chase can be a Hall of Famer and everyone knew this.

Just counting down until the end of the season when Grier loses his job for his draft blunders.   A guy like him doesn't belong in any NFL front office.  He has proven it.

If he isn't fired after a 1-7 start(spoiler for Buffalo game), we shouldn't just assume he will be fired at the end of the season.

He isn't going anywhere. They are dumping Tua for a guy with 22 sexual assault cases in hopes he "might" be able to play.

That trade won't go through in time due to his legal issues but if there were none then he probably would be a Dolphin already despite Tua's progress and it wouldn't make us a 4 win team anyway because our defense is garbage.

To assess Waddle in comparison to Chase appropriately I think we have to wait until Waddle has played a larger percentage of his games without a third-round QB with two years as an inadequate starter in the league, whose average depth of target to Waddle was a mere 3.8 yards downfield.  With Tua for example that figure has been 9.1 yards.  Chase's figure in that regard is 15.2 yards, nearly five times greater than the figure generated by the QB Waddle has played nearly 60% of his games with as a pro.

I think it's a gross misrepresentation to say.  Chase is a rookie, just like Waddle.  Saying a rookie can already be a HoFer is a little much.

One of the best things about Brissett is that we don't have a QB controversy with him as back up ... HAHAHA.
