Contested catches are an overvalued part of being a WR. The game is about getting open and Jeudy does that better than any WR in this class. Contested catches are simply an x-factor if the defense is equal to the offense. And even then, it's not a high percentage play.IZigUZag wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 1:11 pmThat may have been true when Sutton came out, but his route running has really improved the past two seasons... and he's far more suited to the X receiver role than Jeudy will ever be. Jeudy is limited in the contested catch department, and it remains to be seen if his YAC translates to the NFL; where Sutton led all NFL WRs (by a lot) in broken tackles last year.Ice wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 11:09 am Sutton is a good player but he didn't really compare to Juedy when he came out. Juedy is a far better route runner with better top end speed.
Denver should be glad to have both but Juedy is the more versatile player by a pretty wide margin as he can play all 3 positions.
Hard to say who will ultimately be better but Juedy would be my long term choice pretty easily.
Sutton and Jeudy are completely different WRs, which is why they can work really well together. But, make no mistake...Jeudy is a better prsopect coming in than Sutton was and is more advanced at the finer aspects of being a WR than Sutton is.
