Which WR duo you taking?

I know it's hard to compare between different years/QBs and two have yet to start their NFL careers. But with BTJs blazing 40 I thought "dang... and he was our WR2!". Weve had a great run of WR duos, so if you had to pick one pair in their college prime to join the team next season, who would you pick? Combined stats included
1. Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry (2013)
136 rec 2,345 yards 17.2 ypc 18TDs (note: didn't have a Heisman winning QB and Cam Cameron was the OC)
2. Justin Jefferson and Jamarr Chase (2019)
195 rec 3,320 yards 17.0 ypc 38TDs
3. Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. (2023)
159 rec 2,746 yards 17.2 ypc 31TDs
So who you got?

Jefferson and Chase.
I don’t want to say it isn’t close because that’s a lot of talent but….

Jarvis and Odell would have been disgusting with either Burrow or Danial’s. I tend to forget how dynamic they were in a run happy offense. Can’t go wrong with any of the duo’s. They’re all exceptional.

For now, I'm sticking with Chase-Jefferson because I felt like they both popped off the screen in a way I'd never quite seen before.
But statistically I think Nabers-Thomas did more with the less opportunities they had! So a very close second for me.
Though I also really would have loved to see Landry and Odell with a QB like Burrow, just imagine

Jefferson and Chase. I still can’t believe we had these dudes with Joe Burrow

Chase and JJ. They are easily in the conversation for top 5 WRs right now in the NFL.

Tough to say without seeing all of them in the same offense with the same QB.
All 6 are LSU HOF. I’d like to see Reed with Burrow or Daniels with either O coordinator. Not sure if people remember how wide open Reed could get. His route running was elite.

Now consider that Joe Burrow threw exactly 200 more passes in 2019 than Jayden Daniels did in 2023.

why do I have to choose?
LSU had all 6.

Would love to have seen Landry and Beckham in Burrow’s offense
Posted on 3/2/24 at 7:24 pm to hsgeoboy
Chase and Jefferson. Don't overthink it. Next question...
Posted on 3/2/24 at 7:34 pm to hsgeoboy
Let’s not forget we also had Dwayne Bowe, Early Doucet and Craig Davis at the same time too.
What could they have done with a modern offense?

these kinds of comparisons are silly.
It's not apples-to-apples, because each pair of WRs played in a different system with a different QB, OL, RB, etc.
There's no way to legitimately compare them, so why try? Why not just be happy we had all of them when we did?

Unpopular opinion. I think Nabors and Thomas would’ve had even better numbers in the 2019 burrow offense than Chase and Jefferson.

All of these duos are great. I would take Jefferson and Chase.
Some other good duos were Reuben Randle and Odell Beckham (2011), Dwayne Bowe and Craig “Buster” Davis (2006), Michael Clayton and Devery Henderson (2003), and Josh Reed and Michael Clayton (2001).
Terrace Marshall and Kayshon Boutte in 2020 probably could have been great if that season wasn’t such a mess and if both of those guys were all in on the football program.

You can’t give a wrong answer. That is three all-time WR combos.
Posted on 3/4/24 at 5:03 pm to hsgeoboy
easily JJ/Chase
Posted on 3/4/24 at 5:12 pm to hsgeoboy
Chase and Jefferson
My favorite duo of all time though is Josh Reed and Jerel Myers
