RE: Tyler Boyd - Mr. Reliable - TecmoBengals - 01-07-2022

The Bengals have an awesome WR trio and Boyd is absolutely worthy of recognition. Burrow has to love the 67 passes without a drop stat.


RE: Tyler Boyd - Mr. Reliable - JaggedJimmyJay - 01-07-2022

Per pro football reference, Tyler Boyd this year has the second-highest catch-per-target rate in Bengals history this year for any high-volume wide receiver. Obviously running backs and tight ends tend to get easier targets and are better in that statistic.

Who's first? Tyler Boyd in 2020, by a few tenths of a percentage point.

I grant though that this metric is probably less reliable the further back into the past you reach, and eventually it wasn't tracked at all. It does however place Boyd ahead of other similar players like T.J. Houshmandzadeh.

Define drop.

This is what I was thinking. He has had some drops this year in my opinion. But I'm not sure what they are saying makes up a drop. 

Having said that Tyler Boyd is probably my favorite player. He is very reliable and just comes in and does his job. I don't think I heard anything from him when he had his stretch of not really being targeted early this year although I wasn't a big fan of that. I also really love that we are spreading the ball around on offense and giving all our weapons a chance to make plays.

This was my thinking as well. Burrow targeted him 94 times and he had 67 catches. That would mean 29% of balls throw to Boyd were uncatchable (which we know is incorrect). Plus, IIRC, I believe Boyd had at least 2 drops in the Chargers game alone? That's why I'm asking for definition.

He has 0 drops this year.

Passes defensed do not count as drops (IE: they have it in their hands and it gets punched out, like what Vonn Bell did to Hill on Sunday).

I don't remember any drops in SD.

He HAS had 1 drop this year, but that was on a 2Pt Conversion (Denver), which does not go on your receiving stats, thus, he has no drops.

Okay that makes sense. 


RE: Tyler Boyd - Mr. Reliable - Go Cards - 01-07-2022

He is a Steady Eddie type and its such a luxury to have someone that reliable as the #3 WR.

Have seen posts with people saying he is expendable and that's just plain crazy talk.

When they don't throw the ball to you very often as to find your groove and still have zero drops when they do throw is flat out absurdly good.

Plus the rumor when Tyler got drafted was that the Bengals were beating the steelers to the punch on the Pittsburgh Panther WR.

He is too valuable to let walk and never want to see him go to the steelers and have to face him twice a year either.


RE: Tyler Boyd - Mr. Reliable - J24 - 01-07-2022

He seems like a great leader from the outside looking in. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him ever since the Dolphins game in 2019 where he literally crawled off the field.


RE: Tyler Boyd - Mr. Reliable - bengalfan74 - 01-07-2022

He's awesome and that's that Joe


RE: Tyler Boyd - Mr. Reliable - jason - 01-07-2022

One of those 67 catches was going to be an interception until Boyd muscled it away from a Steeler DB

TB is clutch.

And one bounced off the hands of a Viking DB.

Pay the man!!!!! Agaaaaaaaaaaaaain!!!!!


RE: Tyler Boyd - Mr. Reliable - fredtoast - 01-07-2022

Since 2018 only 3 players (Keenan Allen, Devonte Adams, and Tyreke Hill) have more catches for first down conversions on 3rd and 4th down than Boyd.

NO ONE has more first down receptions on 4th down than Boyd's 10. Devonte Adams also has 10, but his came on 18 targets compared to Boyds 14. Twenty-two players have at least 10 targets on 4th down since 2018. Among those 22 only one player (Calvin Ridley) has a higher catch percentage than Boyd's 71.4 (10 of 14). Ridley's is 75% (9 of 12) but only 7 of his 9 receptions went for a first down.

Boyd's total yards and receptions don't look as impressive as many other WRs, but none of them have been more clutch over the last 4 years.

Actually that might be the one I'm thinking of... I think I confused it with Boyd bouncing off a few Steelers defenders, and scoring the first time they played.


RE: Tyler Boyd - Mr. Reliable - Nicomo Cosca - 01-08-2022

The disparity between Boyd at 67 and the next guy at 28 is insane. Idc what anyone says, we have the best WR trio in the league.
