When Godwin got injured in garbage time at the end of the Raven’s game last season, he was the best WR in the league. Period. Reason enough for any team to take the chance on him healing properly. Not concerned about him coming back healthy. He’ll be fine.
Better than Jefferson and Chase? Damn, your optimism truly knows no bounds.
Those guys (Jefferson and Chase) are #1 wide receivers. Everyone here knows Mike Evans is our true #1 receiver!!
Straight progression has limits, but Godwin was on track for something like 121 rec, 1400 yards and 10 TDs. That is similar to Jefferson (103/1533/10) and Chase (127/1700/17)
Godwin has been the best at his role for a long time. The only things that held him back are injuries and Dave Canales lol
The role of being a slot wr2, yes. He's very good. And still a top 20 wr overall.

Agreed. Arguably the best WR2 in the league, and one of the best overall slot receivers in the league.

And does all the things that don't show up on the stat sheet.
Wish he could stay healthy. Wish Bowles wasn't such a dumbass.

Yes, sir.

There are really only a handful of #2 guys that he could even be compared to. Here are those guys and Godwin's numbers in the same time period:
Jordan Addison - 2 years: 133 receptions, 1,786 yards, 13.4 YPC, & 19 TD
Chris Godwin - 2 years: 93 receptions, 1,367 yards, 14.7 YPC, & 8 TD
DeVonta Smith - 4 years: 308 receptions, 4,011 yards, 13.0 YPC, & 27 TD
Chris Godwin - 4 years: 244 receptions, 3,540 yards, 14.5 YPC, & 24 TD
Tee Higgins - 5 years: 330 receptions, 4,595 yards, 13.9 YPC, & 34 TD
Chris Godwin - 5 years: 342 receptions, 4,643 yards, 13.6 YPC, & 29 TD
Touch choice on Higgins v Godwin. Although they are very different players, their numbers are very similar. And then you have an aging Devante Adams and Deebo Samuel. Where does Godwin fall against them coming off of his injury?
I would argue Chris Godwin is top-5 at worst among current #2 NFL WR's, but I wouldn't put him at the top of the list.
Is Adams really a 2? Idk tough one.
Higgins and Godwin very similar and both have injury concerns.
Smith and Addison is a good comparison but they're bottom of the league in terms of blocking.
All around player I'm giving it to Godwin but that's because I view Adams as a 1 and Higgins is a diva.
Is Adams really a 2? Idk tough one.
It's either him or Puka @ WR2 for the Rams. For reference:
Puka Nacua- 2 years: 184 receptions, 2,476 yards, 13.5 YPC, & 9 TD
Chris Godwin - 2 years: 93 receptions, 1,367 yards, 14.7 YPC, & 8 TD
Devante Adams - 8 years: 669 receptions, 8,121 yards, 12.1 YPC, & 73 TD
Chris Godwin - 8 years: 579 receptions, 7,266 yards, 12.5 YPC, & 39 TD
I'm not sure how you could put Godwin in front of either right now.
