I was fine with either before the draft, liked Chase a little more as a complete wr but also felt Waddle was a more explosive playmaker and he was also a better fit for our offense.

The reports out of training camp for Chase were not good, there’s sources out there confirming this. Here’s a few.

Just saw some replay from the beginning of the Bengals game tonight during half time. Chase had 0 receptions on 3 targets with at least 1 drop, you could argue he had 2.

Now I’m not going to proclaim before even playing his first regular season game that the guy is a bust or anything like that.

Several on here were all about Pitts or Chase and thought Waddle was a reach.

Would’ve liked to see more from Waddle in the first preseason game but from the videos in training camp, he looks mostly healthy now and we already know what a electric player he is.

Again it’s way too early to tell but it’s really not looking good for Chase so far. Ecstatic to have Waddle. I think we got the better player.
 
Before the “neither of them have played a single down” posters jump in, I would say that, at this point I agree with you. If I were forced to lay down cash for who will be better when the dust has settled, I would also bet Waddle.

I would be shocked if Vegas would not agree, by a wide margin.

Chase looks lazy to me, and that’s from the tape. Criticize me if you want, but I’ve seen it. And that’s the last trait I want any of my players to have. Dummies should have run up the card for Sewell.

Temper that with the fact Chase opted out and no doubt has rust to knock off…….

I like Higgins more than Chase on that team, anyway.
 
There's nothing not to like about the top four rookie WR and TE. At first I wasn't too happy about Waddle, but now I understand what had the draftniks so excited about him. But... you never know who's going to be the bust or the busts. Let's hope ours pans out, the early reports are encouraging.

very unlikely. I said it many times on here before the draft that Chase would not be the 1st WR taken and I was wrong, but I stick by my evaluation that he shouldn't have been. I think if he was not Burrows teammate he wouldn't have been taken 1st. I have zero doubt that both Waddle and Devonte Smith will have better careers and even though now hurt I think Bateman will as well.
Waddle has the ability to change the game. If we can get rid of Austin Jackson and find a LT, that can give Tua time to throw deep, Waddle has a chance to be rookie of the year, and a real difference maker for this offense, and team.

Temper it ? No but I certainly did take it in to consideration. Waddle loved the game and was willing to do anything he could to be on the field. That passion matters to me, other feel different and that is fine but to me it matters. Holland opted out as did Sewell who i loved but to me it did matter.
 
I watched that first pass on a slant to him live and thought that ball should have been caught. Then found out who it was. I do not follow enough but also think that he did not play last year at all and might just need a few more weeks. He may have more chemistry with Burrow too.

Well put, it’s obviously early but there’s also obviously a better looking prospect right now.

Like you said, if my money was on the line, no question I’m taking Waddle.

What if Holland, Sewell, or Chase have the same passion for the game and opted out for the safety of a loved one (or some other legitimate concern) and it killed them to not be out there playing?
