re: How many of these WRs is Chris Olave better than?

There are individuals on this board who think the guy is prime Jerry Rice.

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person in the fanbase who doesn’t think this

Don’t get me wrong, I like Olave. I just think all the talk about him being top 10-15 is totally insane

He isn’t good after the catch.
He doesn’t have elite level speed.
He doesn’t have that great of hands.
He’s injury prone.
He isn’t a contested catch player.
He isn’t physically imposing.
He’s had one game over 125 yards in two seasons. He’s never even had 10 catches in one game. He has literally never taken over a game for us.

He runs good routes; he might be a top 15-20 route runner.

I just don’t see how you can put all of this together and see top 10-15 at the position. I think he’s an amazing WR2. Like, the best WR2 in the league. But he’s not “#1 option” worthy.

Honestly if our fans think he is, then I hope they’re okay with paying him $30mil a year on his next contract because that’s what a “top 15” WR will demand
