Does Ja'Marr Chase have a chance to be a top 5 all-time Tiger?

Even though he probably wont match his production from last season this year he will probably at least get around 1000 yds and 7-10 TDs which will put him #1 in many (if not most) LSU receiving records. I think he has a solid chance to pass up Josh Reed as the best LSU WR of all time (if he hasnt already). Does he have a chance to rise into the Burrow, Cannon, Mathieu echelon with another great season?

Why does everyone always forget about Michael Clayton?

He needs 909 yards to break the record for most receiving yards in a career for a Tiger.
He needs 4 more TDs to break the record for most receiving TDs in a career for a Tiger.
He has a chance to shatter both of those records. If he does, he is 100% a top 5 Tiger all time imo.

Mathieu is not a top 5 tiger.
Love the guy, but he’s not

With a Belitnikoff Award and a season left to play, he's certainly in the conversation.

It's so hard to compare players from other eras. Offenses are putting up such crazy numbers now, there is no way to know what past players would be like today.
Josh Reed would kill in this offense. Rohan Davey would kill in this offense. Kevin Faulk, Tommy Hodson, Wendell Davis, etc., would all go fricking crazy today.

He may get Shaqahacked. Hell if I'm playing the Tigers he's the one guy I'm targeting to shut down.
Coach E addressed this very thing and knows its coming.
Will be interesting to see the chess game played out

Reed>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chase. Sorry.
Posted on 5/14/20 at 10:44 am to PhillyFan1994
Chase as a Freshman should have had a 50catch season for about 700yds but Ensminger and the old man passing coordinator had the worst substitution patterns at WR that I have ever seen.

Its ludicrous to try to name a top 5 all time Tigers list. There is 125 years of football spanning multiple eras and rules, offensive and defensive styles and various other factors. Billy Cannon's stats that won a Heisman trophy would be a good backup running back today.
The game can change lot even within one decade. We tend to magnify the current player if our experience is limited and we amplify the players of yester year who were our first gridiron heroes.
Having followed LSU football for half of its existence I could give an impressive list of the top 20 receivers and leave out another 10 to 15 that others could legitimately include My 20 would be:
Gaynell Tinsley
Wendell Davis
Josh Reed
Jarvis Landry
Michael Clayton
Justin Jefferson
Dwayne Bowe
Andy Hamilton
Jamar Chase
Carlos Carson
Reuben Randle
Buster Davis
Todd Kinchen
Orlando McDaniel
Brandon Lafell
Tony Moss
Terrace Marshall
Ken Kavanaugh
Early Doucet
Odell Beckham Jr

I would say following up a Biletnikoff with a Heisman would put him up there.

I doubt it. There are more and more receivers. Look at the Louisiana recruiting lists. Half of them are receivers. Every year at the NFL Draft I hear that there are more WR than every before.
If he wins the Heisman, he will be top 5. Otherwise, he will be top 10 for a while. I think that WR performance will suffer from inflation in the coming years with all rules favoring passing.
Stingly has a better chance to make the top 5 than Chase. If Stingly is a three time 1st team All American, he might get there without a Heisman. It has been done before, but not during the social media era.

JaMarr Chase is hands down LSU’s best receiver of all time. This will become increasingly obvious as he gets into his NFL career. He is quick and fast, so DBs have to get handsy to stay with him, and once the pushing and shoving starts Chase separates because he manhandles the DBs.

There’s another thread floating around about whether or not Brennan will throw for 30 td’s. Personally I would be absolutely shocked if he doesn’t easily pass 30 TD’s, much in the same way I would be if Chase ends up around 1000 yds and 7 TD’s.
I personally fully expect Chase to be around 1300-1400 yds, 12-14 TD’s and Brennan to throw somewhere in the high 30’s TD wise, if not low 40’s.

if he puts up similar numbers to last year, he's second only to joe burrow

Chase has been considered by many (including me) to be on the same level of Julio Jones and AJ Green coming out. I think even in a "down" year, he gets something like 1300 yards and 13 TDs. Who is going to guard him? Guy destroyed multiple first and second round CBs.

National champion!!! Already is in my book.

He doesn't need very much to get to the top of statistical categories - but to get to the top of the mountain is particularly tough for a WR.
But, as you suggest - let us assume he catches 70 passes for 1010 yards, 14 TDs - that would put him at #1 career receiving yardage (by a little), #1 career receiving TDs and #3 in career receptions (by 6 behind Wendell Davis and 5 behind Clayton).
That's probably enough - and if he catches closer to 80 passes, would be #1 in all 3 career receiving records. Plus, his key role in the Burrow revolution in 2019, Biletnikoff (which he would be the odds on favorite to win in 2020 with such a season). That should put him as a Top 3 LSU offensive player of all time (with Burrow and Cannon).
Posted on 5/15/20 at 9:35 am to PhillyFan1994
I think when it is all said and done he will finish as a Top 3 WR at LSU
Posted on 5/15/20 at 11:48 am to PhillyFan1994
ABSOLUTELY! Already pushing "the best receiver in LSU history"....
