And we came very close in 2016. 2016 Julio Jones won the award with 83 receptions, 1409 yards and 6TDs over Jordy Nelson who had 97 receptions, 1257 yards and 14 TD's 2010 Roddy White won the award with 111 reception, 1355 yards and 6TDs over Dwayne Bowe who had 72 receptions 1162 yards and 15 TD's Also of note, no WR in NFL history has ever not won the award when tallying at least 120 receptions and 1400 yards. 10 for 10 Stathead: 1400 yards and 120+receptions WR's in NFL history have won the award 9 out of 14 times when totaling 15+TDs, 85+ receptions and 1200+ yards Stathead: 1200+ yards, 15+ TDs and 85+ receptions Julio Jones....HoF vs Jordy. roddy white vs Dwayne Bowe. in both cases, the superior player was named. Stats aren’t always everything, especially when a perennial all pro is involved. Diggs has never even made the pro bowl before. Adams, hopkins and hill were the top WRs going into the season along with Michael Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly a 'something has to give' year. Diggs will either be the first player ever to put up his numbers and not be named all-pro or either Adams or Hill will be the first to put up their numbers and be beat out by a guy with less than half as many TD's. As others have mentioned in this thread I would not discount Diggs storyline which has seemed to dominate the sports media world more so than Hills. Then again maybe they will throw us a curve ball and do something dumb and give the nod to Metcalf. He was certainly the flavor of the month earlier in the season.

Mat68 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Diggs has been an All Pro caliber wr all year. It should be Hopkins and Diggs. Adams missed time which hurt him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I think what you have to remember is some of the guys voting for this are people who even at the start of this season were Josh Allen sceptics. In a lot of their minds Diggs is a big reason for Josh's jump. That plays in Stef's favour. They are not wrong that he has been a big reason but they will probably overvalue how much.

machine gun kelly Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 More than the pro bowl, this would be a great honor for Diggs (besides it will p*+s off all the MN tools who have been non-stop bashing him all season). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t tell if you’re being facetious or not because Gilmore is out. 13 hours ago, CEN-CAL17 said: That’s a good point. Cause you know he’s gonna have Gilmore on him 90% of the snaps...

It matters I don't think it matters that much. Josh spreads the ball around in the red zone and runs it in himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to see Diggs get 1st team. I just don’t see how one could vote for him over guys with three times as many TDs. One of which, who played in 2 less games and is averaging more ypg.

He’s everything that we need. Edited December 23, 2020 by NewEra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffBillsForLife Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 5 TDs doesn't cut it unless he's way ahead of the pack in catches and yards at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 I'd say Digg is a lock now for one of the two spots. Adams will get the other. Diggs 120 receptions (leads league) 1,459 yards (leads league) 8 TD's His only real competition is Tyreek Hill Hill 87 receptions 1,276 yards 15 TD's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was 55/45 Diggs over Hill before tonight's big game and the 3 TD's just because Diggs has such a good storyline to go along with the receptions and yards. But having a huge game this late in the season and now having a more respectable 8 TD's should push it closer to 80/20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I guarantee if you wait until the Friday/Saturday after Week 17 you'll know. Then we can post a thread that he was 1st (or 2nd) All-Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
