It’s early. Preseason games – outside of the Hall of Fame Game – have not even begun to kickoff. However, if you place any stock in training camp reports, Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver, Ja’Marr Chase, hasn’t impressed in the same way that Miami’s electric first round wide receiver, Jaylen Waddle, has.

Contrary to the subpar Chase reports, Waddle has been performing spectacularly during his first training camp.

If Waddle stays healthy and continues to build on his chemistry with Tua, the sky is the limit for the man who some have called the next coming of Tyreek Hill. Chris Grier, Brian Flores and the rest of the Miami Dolphins’ decision makers will have come away from the 2021 NFL Draft with not only the best wide receiver in the class, but with additional first and third round picks due to the various trades that saw them ultimately land at pick number six – quite the coup.

 
I thought going into the draft Waddle was the best WR on the board and I preferred him over Pitts if Pitts had been on the board at 6. Obviously we won’t know anything about how effective any of the rookies will be until the season starts but I am still extremely happy Waddle is a Miami Dolphin.
 
I always preferred Waddle/Smith over Chase. I understand why the Bengals went with Chase (I would have been tempted to do the same if I were them) but man oh man they better pray they have solidified that o-line. If Burrows gets hammered again this year, that's going to look like a terrible decision.

I remember when Burrows was drafted, I tweeted out that he would "rot in Cincy." For his sake, I hope I'm wrong. But I have no faith in Zac Taylor or that organization.
 
This is one reporter from Saturday - so I wouldn’t put any blame on Chase

CINCINNATI – Joe Burrow looked a little relieved, felt a little renewed after Saturday's spirited practice. For the first time in training camp, the 24-year old quarterback, the potential savior for a star-crossed franchise, led the first team offense to a sustained scoring drive

Burrow has been, frankly, pretty horrible so far in his attempt to return from that nasty knee injury. I like how the media is still talking about Tua having one bad practice in a pseudo hurricane and not how a lot of the other young QBs struggled in camp. Wilson also looked pretty bad at times.
 
I liked Chase a lot... still do. I think he'll become a nice WR in the NFL, but he just barely turned 21 years old and didn't play last year.

Waddle turns 23 in November and DID play last year.

I would have EXPECTED that Waddle would start faster, and he has...
 
Never wanted Chase. I just dont see what makes him a top pick or NFL caliber #1 receiver. I think really good #2 is his ceiling.

That said I didn't like the Waddle pick at first but its really grown on me.

Amazing, though immensely talented, Burroughs is having a hard time getting back to 100% following a devastating injury. Try shearing your hip off and coming back, stud! I hope the media treats him with a little more understanding and reasonable expectations than they did Tua.
