NFL fans are all throwing shade at one of the best receivers in the league for some ‘selfish’ comments he made after his very slow start to the season. Ja’Marr Chase finally balled out in their recent loss against the Washington Commanders, but the team is off to a 0-3 start and almost ready to hit the panic button.
The Cincinnati Bengals are off to a rough start with a mix of bad luck and poor play, but they need to turn it around this week if they have hopes of making the playoffs. However, Ja’Marr has made some statements that have fans bothered.
NFL Fans Think Ja’Marr Chase Made A ‘Selfish’ Admission After Loss
Chase had some interesting comments after their 3rd straight loss to start the year, when saying that he wasn’t having fun for the first two weeks because he was not making big plays for the team. He went on to say how that drought ended in their loss to the Commanders because he found his grove and started having fun.
“Ja’Marr Chase: I wasn’t having fun the first two weeks. Says making the big plays on Monday brought the joy back. Feels like the “BS of the offseason” is behind him,” Fox 19’s Joe Danneman wrote on X.
This is fair from Chase who deserves a monster extension that he still has not got, and that may come back to bight Cincinnati when it’s time to talk to the contract if Chase becomes a free agent. He has been one of the best in the NFL, and, shockingly, he has not been paid, so it makes sense that, as a human, he would be struggling to find his grove to start the year.
Fans, however, thought this was a ‘selfish’ remark from Chase, as you can never sound right in the eyes of some fans. But what most fail to understand is the human behind the athlete. Chase is playing, knowing full well that if he sustains a brutal injury, his entire career can change while he still has not made his real money yet.
However, according to fans, the superstar receiver was selfish because he wanted to impact his team’s success.

“So it’s about him making plays and not winning,” one user remarked.
“Wait a minute… they lost to fall to 0-3, but for Chase, the joy is back? I guess that means as long as he gets his stats, regardless of winning or losing, he’s happy?” wrote another.
“Weird way of saying ‘I don’t care if we win, I just want my stats’. Loser,” a third wrote.
