Geno and Green were legit top of their positions.

Godwin had 1 great year. Only 1 year over 1000 yards. But every other year from him, Boyd eclipses. Boyd has 2 1000 yard seasons

And Boyd has been dealing with back ups ever since he broke out in 2018.

And in 2018-2020 Green was either completely absent, injured for most of the season, or just washed up. Aka 2020 aj green

So Boyd has put up back to back 1000 yard seasons as THE guy for 75% of the time, and with back ups playing the majority of 2018, and Finley playing like 4 games in 2019.

Really, you need a bit of context.

And the whole point of the slot receiver is to be a guy who racks up the catches, not so much yards. That’s more the outside guys.

Do not, do not ever throw out pro bowls as a reference for which players are better than others.

Because you’re defending pro bowl selections, yet if I brought up Whitworth, you’d blow him off as not that good because he doesn’t have enough pro bowl selections.

Whit made the Pro Bowl in '12.  If we're being honest, Whit was a great pass blocker, but a mediocre run blocker and he was the captain of units that folded like napkins in Primetime and in the playoffs.

Godwin was 13th in the league in yards/target last year.  He averaged 70 yards a game to Boyd's 56.1. The only reason Boyd has outproduced Godwin is Godwin gets dinged up a lot and misses games and Boyd is extremely durable.  

Jameis Winston is a back up. What's your point?  

Boyd had 148 targets last year.  It would be nearly impossible for any decent WR to not hit 1000 yards getting thrown to that much.

There were 14 TE's that averaged more yards a target than Boyd last year, as well as 2 RB's.  

Whit's a 3 time All Pro and a 4 time Pro Bowler.  He gets plenty of recognition.  

Boyd is what he is.  He's a good slot possession WR that struggles outside.  He's not elite.  He's a complementary piece.
