Dolphins trade #3 pick

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.  

Whit became all pro once the team went 12-4 in 2015. He gets way more recognitions in LA though.

Ok so 2007-2011 if I said Whitworth was elite, you’d say no. Because you VALUE pro bowls so much.

Winston is a back up now, but Winston made the PRO BOWL in Tampa 1 year, and also lead the league in passing yards his last year in Tampa.

So do not compare Tampa Winston to the guys who backed up dalton and burrow

Boyd is a great slot receiver. He just is.

And Higgins is going to ball out this season.

And once again you missed a crucial point that I made

Boyd since breaking out in 2018 has played most of his games with back up quarter backs.

This is just a fact. The best receivers in the league would see a decrease in production when you’re playing with Brandon Allen, Ryan Finley, and Jeff freaking Driskell.

We’ve yet to see Boyd play a full season with his starting qb.

We saw he was top 10 in catches in 2020 before the burrow injury. What do you think’s gonna happen when Burrow stays healthy all season?

I say top 10 in catches and 1200+ yards and a pro bowl snub. But some guy with less yards on a more popular team will get in, and you’ll say that guy is better than Boyd because Boyd didn’t make the pro bowl
