BayRaider Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 Easily Hill for me here. Jefferson's dominant rookie year was enough to squeak by Robinson for me, but it's not enough to defeat Hill. Hill is an Elite Top 4 WR and Jefferson needs to prove more to be considered in the same tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkwdw13 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 For me Hill has the elite speed that sets him above Jefferson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish people wouldn't be homers. I don't see how any valid argument can be made that Jefferson is better right now than Hill. Maybe after 2021 is complete (although doubtful) but not right now.

diamondbull424 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Regardless of how close this might be from a skills perspective, Hill will always have something Jefferson doesn’t, which is game breaking speed. You can’t teach that and it’s the difference between elite corners who you can feel confident can shutdown most any WR and those same corners being able to shutdown Hill. Legitimate 4.2 speed threats at the receiver position that can use that speed appropriately don’t grow on trees. Until Hill doesn’t have such a special trait or Jefferson simply ascends to the point where his skills are far greater overall than Hill, this will be Hill’s comparison to lose IMO.

Right now though its Hill. I think Jefferson could reach top 15 level with another strong year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually don't rate players high over a rookie season but he had a once in a decade WR Rookie Season. Always those Viking WR's... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treadwell statistically was worse for us than Troy Williamson who couldn't see 2 feet ahead of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he also doesn't get nearly enough credit for his route running and overall skill set. Many think he's just speed and that simply isn't true. I think he could continue to be a top 5 WR for another five years or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your game and everything about it eventually drops off, no matter what rose tinted glasses we wear. Even Randy Moss and Jerry Rice had to retire eventually.
