Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Adams feels like the only lock. Diggs competition will be Tyreek Hill, Metcalf and Hopkins. Tyreek Hill may have the inside track for the other spot. Hopkins and Diggs numbers are very similar. Nearly identical. It feels like Diggs has the best storyline and is being credited a lot for Allen's breakout year by the media. That may be enough for him to take it over guys like Hill and Metcalf who will have far more TD's. On a side note, who was our last first team all-pro? I know Mario Williams was at least first or second team. I want to say first team one year but not positive. If it is before him, maybe Moorman?
Taro Nimbus Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 If you go based off of statistics, Diggs has the advantage over Adams. 1

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 22, 2020 Author Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) In league history 9 players have combined to reach 120+ receptions 13 times. Only once out of those 13 occurrences has it not resulted in a first team all pro selection for that player. Chris Carter in 1995. Unless Diggs is inactive for the Miami game he should be a lock to reach 120 receptions. And that 1995 season was crazy. Maybe the greatest single season ever for WR's combined. Chris Carter: 122 receptions 1,371 yards 17 TD's Issac Bruce: 119 receptions 1,781 yards 13 TD's And neither was first team All-Pro. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/1995/receiving.htm 16 minutes ago, Taro Nimbus said: If you go based off of statistics, Diggs has the advantage over Adams. Adams has missed two games. Diggs has the advantage in receptions and yardage totals. But not averages. And he's way behind in TD's. That's why I think Adams is the first lock.

Adams missed 2 games almost triples Diggs TD....he’s behind in reception and yards.. Adams averages 5 more yards per game. He has almost 200 more YAC. Diggs has been amazing, but adams has been the best Wr in football this season. the other spot is a tossup between Diggs, DHop and Tyreek imo. Metcalf coming up next Diggs wins over DHop imo because his team is better. Hill and Diggs, it just depends what you value more. Catches or TDs. Hill triple Diggs’ TDs while Diggs has almost 30 more receptions and is leading the league in targets, 18 more than Tyreek. Tyreek doesn’t even lead his TEAM in targets tough call. Seems to me like there should be 3 first team All pro WRs nowadays conserving most teams employ at least 3 wrs most of the time. if I were an unbiased voter and was looking at stats: Adams gets my first vote, Hill 2nd, Diggs 3rd. as a Bills fan: Diggs, then Beasley then adams 6 1
billsfan89 Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 I think Diggs will get the nod. The storyline is what courts voters.
frostbitmic Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 1st Team - Adams & Hill... TD's win games and these two live in the end zone. 2nd Team - Diggs & Hopkins ... Next Best, catch a lot passes and get a lot of yards and 1st downs 3rd Team - Metcalf & Kupp or a dozen other guys. 3

I could see Keenan Allen and Justin Jefferson with Metcalf in that almost 2nd team but ultimately lose out group
CEN-CAL17 Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) There 3 WRs yeah? Last year was Hopkins Thomas and Julio If Diggs leads the league in receptions plus 1400+ Yds... I can overlook 5-6 TDs. Metcalf was not seen in some big games. Seattle still did fine. Hill Benefits from having a crazy core around him. Diggs is by far getting more attention from defenses cause he the only real threat on our team. If he’s not on Buffalo, Buffalo season is way different. Adams is having a great year but also missed games like 2 I think... does that play a factor? Its tough but I say Diggs is a strong candidate. Diggs, Hill, Hopkins? Edited December 22, 2020 by CEN-CAL17
CEN-CAL17 Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Diggs has also played nearly 200 snaps over Davonte, 2 games. Gonna be a tough decision. Like Josh said.... availability is the best ability. Hence why Buffalo is 11-3 in a major way. Edited December 22, 2020 by CEN-CAL17
Ya Digg? Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 So I think Hill gets it over Diggs simply because he brings attention to himself. He does a lot of stupid things on the field (for example, the backflips into the end zone, the peace sign as he is about to score, etc) but this season has been able to back it up with touchdown receptions. The voters don't think this way but they should - would Hill have even close to as many touchdowns and splash plays if he didn't play on the same team as Kelce and Mahomes? You certainly have to account for his speed and my Bills homerism is certainly playing into this but I think Diggs has done more and deserves the first team all pro more than Hill

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 So Diggs playing 2 extra games and not being hurt should be held against him? I always thought durability and playing those games was important. I disagree that Adams is a lock because he has averaged a few more yards/game. Also, how many games do you have to miss before the average is of less value? 4? 6? 15? Give me the guy who played, not the guy who played and has someone else fill his spot when he's out.

Getting into the end zone matters more. Dude has two less games and triple the TDs. It matters
