[Whatever]

Yes, Boyd is an ELITE slot receiver.

Boyd was 7th in the league in receptions before Burrow got injured. Higgins was on pace for 1200+ yards. Of course their production dropped once the back ups came in. Higgins and Boyd were dealing with back ups playing behind the worst line in the league

You brushing off Boyd and Higgins is just beyond disrespectful and silly.

Listen, I pay more attention to football than you.

Referencing pff has already been established as a joke, and must be taken with a grain of salt.

You paid 0 attention to the bills in 2020. That’s all I can tell you.

Allen had Brown in 2019 when Brown was still good, it’s just that Allen completely improved in 2020 including his pocket presence and accuracy. Don’t give all the credit to Diggs. He’s the only real weapon they have

Green Bay has the best WR in the league and... Valdez scantling? That dude stinks. He’s good for 1 catch a game for 60 yards. Good deep threat I suppose, but he’s not all that. That other receiver they have is OK but he’s injured constantly. The TE Tonyan is good

But keep referencing pff to cover the fact that you don’t watch enough football. Boyd and Higgins is one of the better wr combos in the league, and a QB like Burrow makes them better.

Just like how Allen makes Diggs and Beasley better. Just like Rodgers makes Tonyan better. Just like Mahomes makes demarcus robinson better

Now go to sleep

AJ and Geno had no problems racking up All Pro honors and Pro Bowls.  But they were actually elite players.  What about the NFL 100?  His fellow players don't see him as elite, either.  The Pro Bowl voting is very stat driven, anyways, and 5 different Bengal pass catchers have made it since '05, so it stands to reason that if Boyd deserved it, he would have gotten it by now.

Higgins was not on pace for 1200 yards before Burrow got hurt.  He had 629 receiving yards through week 10, which pro rated out would have put him at 1006.  7th in receptions?  Great.  He was only in double digit yards/target twice last year.  His 6 catches for 41 yard performance against the Steelers was so impressive.  

You have given no response on how Boyd is elite based on any kind of film study.  You just keep saying Boyd is elite over and over again, but you can't say how he's elite, so there's no reason for anyone to think you're a highly knowledgeable fan that breaks down All 22 and can compare Boyd's tape to other top slot WR's and elaborate on why he's elite and what makes him so. You have shown me nothing to make me think you're more knowledgeable about the game than I or the average board member is.  I've never said PFF is the gospel, but you've exhibited no football expertise that makes me think you're more football smart than them or the AP voters that vote on the All Pro team.  You seem like the typical homer that watches the game with beer goggles on, if at all, and tries to overrate our good players as elite talent.  Not to mention the fact that I never referenced PFF in regards to Boyd and Higgins, only the Bills' OL.  And even then, discarding their grades entirely, it's still an OL comprised of a couple of 2nd round picks and B/C tier FA's.  

Green Bay is tied with KC for the 2nd most YAC per completion at 5.5 YAC per Completion.  The Bengals are tied for 25th at 3.9.  Boyd averages 4.4, more than a yard less than those teams' averages.  Yup, elite.
