Diggs definitely had a great year, but I would argue that Josh Allen elevated Diggs, just as he elevated Beasley. And you're not even addressing the fact that the Bills could have stayed at 22 and picked Justin Jefferson, who's six years younger than Diggs, is on a much cheaper contract over the next four years, and put up numbers that were every bit as good as Diggs's this year, with Kirk Cousins throwing him the ball. Care to address that? Easy he it the number 2 wideout with arguably the best RB in the NFL. So mainly going to be single coverage with single high safety. Diggs was against bracket coverage and still ate. Need speed I like toney from Florida and etienne if we can snag him Edited January 25, 2021 by TheJauronClap

If your QB doesn’t like you he won’t trust you so throws won’t go his way. Diggs was open about it he said he went to Kirk and the OC and they brushed him off that’s when the fallout happened Edited January 25, 2021 by TheJauronClap

He's a very talented player being forced into a role he's ill-suited for. Luke is the exact kinda player this D truly needs at this phase.

Are you confident that in five years Diggs will be outperforming Jefferson? There isn't a reason? So every rookie that plays well will always continue to play well at an elite level? Was Javon Kearse as good as Bruce Smith? Was Anquan Boldin as good as Marvin Harrison? So now we aren't talking about 2020 or 2021...we have to start arguing about 2026. By 2026, Diggs may not even be a Bill.

I don't see many Jerry Rices or Marvin Harrisons performing at a Pro Bowl level into their mid-30s. Diggs is still young (just turned 27) so the Bills don't have to confront that issue, but it's something to keep in mind. 1

If only we could create another one. And that's kind of my point: Luke Kuechly wasn't so much created by the Panthers. He arrived fully formed as one of the most skilled, disruptive forces in football. Tremaine has the athletic talent, but simply doesn't have anywhere near the understanding of the game. 1

You said there isn't any reason to believe Jefferson won't be as good as Diggs. I brought up players who also had record breaking rookie seasons. Kearse had a decent career, Boldin had a good career but never one of the top 3 WR in the game. So then you bring up who will be better 5 years from now in 2026....

The fact that you can name a few guys who got worse after their rookie seasons is not evidence that Jefferson will. FFS, he's 21-years old. Why would he regress? It's far more likely that Diggs, who will be 28 before next season, will never have another season like this one.

The Frankish Reich Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Just now, Real McNasty said: That the biggest ? Can it be developed or coached in Edmunds? I think we've seen that it can't. I was willing to give him a long leash - 19 years old when drafted and all that. And he's still young. But I don't see the growth happening. If we were talking about a guy with, say, a defensive tackle's body (Ed Oliver?) that would signal that maybe he's as good as he'll get. But Edmunds is a freak. There's a position for him on the football field where he'll excel, and if that position isn't one that exists in any standard approach, well, maybe you ought to think about creating one for him. I hate to see that kind of talent squandered. But as I've said, I think someone will find the right position/role for him. I just don't think it'll be McDermott and the Bills.

Tre was extended before the season and Oliver isn’t even halfway through his rookie deal. Are you and Kwai San referring to someone else? Because I can’t ascertain that from your reply to his post about Tre and Oliver.
maryland-bills-fan Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) One player AFTER Espessa, the Ravens took Dobbins. Fist team all american. 4.44 sec dash time. Singletary did 4.66 and Moss did 4.65 later improved to 4.52. The first couple of 2020 WR (walter football) clocked at 4.5 4.45 4.27 4.55 4.43 4.42. ... Dobbins looks more like wide receiver than a running back. Everybody missed the preseason, Dobbins missed most of the 1st six games with minor injuries nd more with Covid. What I saw in the Ravens game is that he could beat our people to the outside and had a couple of nice runs around the corner. We don't have that in our playbook. We don't have the screen pass as a danger for a chunk yardage pickup. It might be 10-15 yards. It is never going to be 45 to 60 yards. We don't have somebody like T.Thomas who can sneak out just beyond the LOS, take a short flip and go for 15 yards almost routinely. ..... ........ In addition, to the yardage, it changes the defences. DB are NOT going to be able to play 6 DB on 3 WR and keep their eyes on the WR the whole time. Why? https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/jk-dobbins-ravens-ohio-state-running-backs/50vkayzy7ese1vum9gq9vtx6a Edited January 25, 2021 by maryland-bills-fan

Sam Bradford, Reggie Bush, Steve Slaton, Mike Williams, RGIII, Rashaan Salam etc.... . Since you don't think he will regress and he keeps up this pace.....he will have the greatest 4-5 year stretch of any WR in NFL history. If there's no reason to think he will regress, his 88 catches, 1,400 yards and 7 TD's will be his floor. What are you expecting next year with his trajectory? 110 catches, 1,700 yards and 12 TD's?

Good grief. Jefferson just had a great rookie season. I have no idea what kind of stats he's going to put up for the next four years, much less over his entire career. It's possible that this year was a fluke, but it's much more likely that he'll still be a really good NFL receiver when Diggs is in decline or OOF.
