One of the things to keep in mind as you think about whether we should sign OBJ or Deandre Hopkins, or any other WR, is how they would've changed the outcomes of games. Just as one example, consider the CIN game. Watch how many times JuJu can't get open, obviously ignoring the ones where he's not a real option. And then think about how open either OBJ or DHop would be on those same snaps.
Watch JuJu's route in the Mahomes 'dunk across the GL' play. Then wonder how easily either of those other two would've gotten open there.
Watch Juju in the SB, contrasting that level of acceleration and quickness against OBJ/DHop, and tell me those guys wouldn't have been able to blow the game open.
Because that's what Hunt would be paying for. The ability to turn an average chain-moving play into a score, almost any time they touch the ball. And why we should be interested.
