Admit it, this post is just to remind us that Jimmy Graham is still active lol

[–] WorthWafer1365@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Real talk, pfr is the go to website for stats. Fuck statmuse

[–] Next_Level_V@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Whoever ends up with a better QB

[–] devon223@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Evans is qb proof, I think he gets the edge.

[–] agk927@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Adams easily.

[–] Fillard_Millmore@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Without looking at that table you would never ever be able to guess who number 3 is

[–] birdsemenfantasy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Graham lowkey made a comeback this season. He was out of football last season. One of those NBA-style farewell tour.

[–] GamingTatertot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Gonna be close - Evans was further behind Adams before the start of this year, but he's gotten more TDs this year (and had a better QB to be fair).

I see them both passing 100+ though

[–] Nexus117@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bias in full effect here, but without a doubt Evans.

[–] IGNORE_ME_PLZZZZ@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If one of them plays one more year than the other that might make the difference. I think Evans is likely to play longer from here on out.

[–] SyntaxInvalidator@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why’s that? I feel like Adams is more suited for longevity due to his route running

[–] IdkAbtAllThat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Size ages pretty well too though. Evans never needed to win with speed or agility.

[–] IGNORE_ME_PLZZZZ@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lots more mileage per season and also a chip on his shoulder all the time I think will burn him out faster. Close call though they are both just a couple concussions away now maybe.

[–] Comprehensive_Main@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Travis Kelce was drafted in 2013 ? Isn’t he the same age as Gronk ?

[–] Bulky-District-2757@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mike Evans because he’ll have Stroud throwing to him the next few years 😉

[–] Florida__Man__@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

TAMU fan fiction

Hi Pro Football Reference

[–] Calpaca@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Whichever one that doesn't end up on the jets.

[–] LezEatA-W@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It’s pretty interesting that every single player with 87+ receiving touchdowns is either in the Hall of Fame, or about to be in the Hall of Fame (Gronk, Fitzgerald, Gates).

I don’t see how anybody could argue against Mike Evans as an inevitable HOF receiver, especially if he has another 2-3 seasons at his current level of play. His consistency is something to marvel at.

The only knock is no all-pros, but I think consistency at Evans’ level combined with a ring will get him in.

[–] tripp_hs123@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Only one second-team all-pro is a huge downside. That's a very thin resume. How many people in the HoF have a resume that thin? How many seasons of his career has he been a top 3 receiver?

[–] Low-Strawberry9603@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He will be all.pro this year

[–] dawghomer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No shot. Tyreek, keenan allen, ceedee lamb, Diggs, ajb and amon ra all have a better case

[–] Low-Strawberry9603@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

And half of the people you listed are in the AFC. He's top 3 NFC right now.

[–] invRice@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No all pros means he was never considered one of the best at his position. Is he really better than Torry Holt? Evans's streak is nice, but sort of meaningless. Would he be much worse if he had 2 less yards in 2017?

[–] cox_ph@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It'd be interesting to see how high Tyreek ends up on that list. You figure playing with Tua and Mike McD will boost his numbers a lot in the near future, but receivers reliant on speed don't always age well once they're past 30.

[–] da85882@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

TIL Jimmy Graham is still active.

[–] Phantom_Nuke@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He has a TD this year, his only reception.

[–] DistantRefaktor@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Was it a one yard TD?

[–] mill_about_smartly@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Daron Bland 😎

[–] TrevorsBlondeLocks16@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Baker Evans combo is spicy.

Think it really just comes down to who Adams QB is the next 3 years

[–] Stubbs94@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] BatteredAggie@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think Adams has more gas left in the tank, but Evans is a free agent and can probably choose what QB he wants to play with from here on. I’d say Evans for that reason.

[–] _HobbyNoob_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Idk why it just feels like Evans has been in the league way longer. But my vote is for Adams. FRESNO STATE BABY
