CeeDee Lamb vs Justin Jefferson

[Thomas82]

The popular opinion is that Justin Jefferson is the better receiver, but I noticed that some on this board believe CeeDee is better. I was just curious about why some favor CeeDee over Jetta.

Well, the Cowboys uniform, for one.

 

[Toombstoner]

Ceedee is smarter for sure. He’s got my vote.

I know how good Justin Jefferson is, but I'm more than happy with CeeDee Lamb myself.

Better 2024. If you do Jets #'s over 17 games, Lamb still has better across the board. Jefferson has been the more productive player over his career though. It just depends on how you want to judge it

Even that requires the massive caveats that Jefferson was both dealing with a backup QB, an injury, and only played 10 games. Despite the first 2, saying Lamb still requires the caveat on a per game basis Lamb had more catches but Jefferson had more yards.

Basically Lamb had volume on his side last year. This is not saying Lamb is not great, as he is a top 5 guy, but he is not Jefferson.

Jettas is better


Ceedee is top-5

Jefferson is the best

 

[jwitten82]

Ive never heard Jefferson called Jettas

Jefferson is bigger and faster. CeeDee is tougher and performed better in the playoffs. I think Cheetah is the best receiver followed by Jefferson and Chase. Lamb is real close though but the big 3 have that break away speed that you can’t teach.

The more I think about I am not sure if the other three could handle CeeDee’s volume. CeeDee gets double digit targets practically every game without injury. I don’t know if the other guys are as durable.

People in here are clueless

Jefferson was more polished coming out of lsu. That’s why his career numbers to this point are better. Aside from Jefferson being more injury prone than Lamb, lamb has no closed that gap. Lamb will be the more productive player this season and probably for the foreseeable future

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Jefferson is better.

You can’t go off what “some on this board” say because it’s a Cowboys board and biases exist.

Jefferson is better but CD is far more consistent more importantly available. Jefferson has been missing a lot of time with injuries

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Jefferson puts up numbers regardless of how bad Cousins plays. Remeber during the fanless games, where you could hear him yell "throw the F N ball Kirk". Lmao.

By a lot of time you mean the 7 games he missed last year which were his only games missed in his 4 year career? Lol.

Cd has missed zero games to my knowledge

I guess now you know how it feels to be a boomer, eh playboi?

What I focused on was you calling out Jefferson for missing "a lot of time with injuries" when he's missed a total of 7 games in 4 years, all of them last season, i.e., his first time ever missing games due to injury and not some recurring thing like you implied.

But even spotting CeeDee an extra 7 games Jefferson has only caught 3 fewer balls yet with 750 more yards and averages a full 2 yards per catch better over their 4 year careers. They're different types of receivers but the better production is clear.

I agree which is why I said Jefferson is better but CD has closed the gap and is consistently more available. This season will be interesting for Jefferson. Is this the start of another injury riddled season? We will see

 

[Coogiguy03]

Clearly its his SPEED!!!! He's not Tyreek, but he gets open and past people better than CD other than that, that's it!

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

CD might actually be a better route runner, and a bit more effective against 1-1 coverage (though, debatable).

But Jefferson is way ahead in being competitive at the catch point. CD has been a little disappointing at times on contested catches.
