I realize the sample size is small but I really don’t care. I will just use my judgment here but Diggs is the best WR the bills have ever had.

He certainly has a seat at the table.

Dubenion was a great WR, in a different era.  Fastest guy in the league. 18 yards per reception over his career. Doubled on most plays

in his career...

Diggs is almost inarguably a top 2 wide receiver now, league-wide.  

 

 

From Jeff Kerr at CBS Sports:

 

* FOLLOWING NUMBERS AFTER 15 GAMES*  

 

Most receptions (first season with new team)

 

Stefon Diggs (2020 Bills) -- 120

Brandon Marshall (2012 Bears) -- 118

Wes Welker (2007 Patriots) -- 112

Terance Mathis (1994 Falcons)  -- 111

DeAndre Hopkins (2020 Cardinals) -- 111

 

 

Most receiving yards (first season with new team)

 

Brandon Marshall (2012 Bears) -- 1,508

Randy Moss (2007 Patriots) -- 1,493

Santana Moss (2005 Washington) -- 1,483

Stefon Diggs (2020 Bills) -- 1,459

Henry Ellard (1994 Washington) -- 1,397

 

 

Most receiving yards per game (first season with new team)

 

Bobby Mitchell (1962 Washington) -- 98.9*

Stefon Diggs (2020 Bills) -- 97.3

Brandon Marshall (2012 Bears) -- 94.3

Randy Moss (2007 Patriots) -- 93.3

Art Powell (1963 Raiders) -- 93.1*

*14-game season 

 

Most receiving TD (first season with new team)

 

Randy Moss (2007 Patriots) -- 23

Art Powell (1963 Raiders) -- 16*

Terrell Owens (2004 Eagles) -- 14

Harold Jackson (1973 Rams) -- 13*

Lionel Taylor (1960 Broncos) -- 12*

Patrick Jeffers (1999 Panthers) -- 12

Bob Shaw (1950 Cardinals) -- 12*

*14-game season 

*Stefon Diggs has 8 TD in 2020

 

Diggs still has an opportunity to extend his receptions record and has a chance to pass Moss for the most receiving yards in his first season with a new team. Diggs needs just 50 yards to pass Moss and needs to get to 1,584 receiving yards to surpass Mitchell for most receiving yards per game in his first season with his new team -- so he needs 125 yards to set that mark (he currently has the record for a 16-game season). 

 

Moss is the gold standard for the best season for a pass catcher in his debut season with a new team (98 catches, 1,493 yards, 23 touchdowns) as the 2007 Patriots went 16-0 in the regular season --and reached the Super Bowl. Terrell Owens isn't far behind with the 2004 Eagles (77 catches, 1,200 yards, 14 touchdowns), playing a major role in the Eagles getting to the Super Bowl for the first time in 24 years. Brandon Marshall had the most receptions and currently holds the receiving yards record for a pass catcher in year one with a new team, as the Bears finished 10-6 in 2012 -- but missed the playoffs. 

 

Diggs already has the most catches and is expected to surpass Marshall in receiving yards on this list. He'll be in the conversation for the best first season for a wide receiver with a new team regardless, but the Bills' success in the postseason will determine if Diggs deserves to be No. 1.

1964 AFL Championship season [Cookie Gilchrist as RB]. He caught 42 passes with 10 TD's and a season average of 27.1 yards per reception with "rag arm" Jack Kemp as his QB.

Yeah, the stats above do not include the final game against Miami.

 

That was all from an article published on 12/31/2020.

14 is a bad man. Congrats Diggs

 

Loved the post game presser with Hyde when he sees Stefon Diggs come in and yells out "Diggs!  Diggs is a PROBLEM!"

 

(I gather "problem" is how defense refers to a guy they can't handle)

White, Allen, Roberts and Beasley were all second team.

Poyer got robbed. Williams probably was right on the cusp.

Edmunds did not make it which makes me feel like the process is somewhat valid although it still can be a popularity contest.
