john305 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Hall of really good? Yes. Hall of Fame? I don't see it. There are a dozen guys in the last 10 years with similar or better numbers. He doesn't stand out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 There is a log jam at wr. Torry Holt isn't in the hof and Diggs isn't even close to his level or peak imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malik Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Not really. He's like a Chad Johnson tier WR. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakuvious Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I don't think so. Though I've differed with the actual HOF committee's standards before. He's definitely stepped up as of late since pairing with Josh Allen, but not enough to set himself apart, IMO. Career stat wise, he's kind of in the same territory as T.Y. Hilton Or Marques Colston, minus the post-prime fluff years, right now. For current players, Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper are in similar spots as far as stats and accolades. And that's definitely not enough. He's always been solidly behind a few other WRs throughout his career, which has always been my mark, personally, for who deserves it. Whether it's been Jones or Brown or Hopkins or Thomas or Beckham or Hill or Adams or Jefferson, he's never really had a compelling argument for being the best or even really particularly close to the best in the league. Now, the two things he does still have going for himself, is he is pretty young still relative to the number of years he's played, and he's still on a great team at the moment. Being 29 in year 9 is pretty young, all things considered. When you look at other guys who were in similar statistical places recently at this point in their career, guys like T.Y. Hilton, Demaryius Thomas, etc., those guys were all a year or two older at this point, and declined quickly afterwards. Diggs hasn't shown signs of that yet, and if his relative youth and health gives him a few more prime years, that could make a difference. He stays the course he's been on the past 3 seasons, for the next 3 seasons he could hit 13000 yards by the time he retires and have a much, much more compelling case. And then being on the Bills and playing with Allen increases the chances of him staying in the spotlight, continuing to produce, and getting shots in the postseason. A superbowl where he shows up in a big way would make a huge difference to his chances too. So, right now, I would say no, and I wouldn't bet on it. But he has ways to get there.

Kiwibrown Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 To get to the hof imo he needs 15k yards and 1200 receptions and a lot more tds. He is juts a very good reciever. There are guys a head of him at the moment. Devante and Mike evans and neither are a show in for the hall of fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Highly unlikely. The WR spot is already backed up as far as the HoF goes, and there are guys like Julio/AB/Hill/probably Adams/possibly Hopkins, strong start for Jefferson, etc. who would all get in before he would from roughly the same era.

I think at this point Diggs has a better chance than AB lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, and we can say that for a lot of other guys that probably won't get in over a lot of other guys that are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Not for me, no. He didn’t peak high enough/long enough and the resume is looking way too similar to other guys who I wouldn’t dream of putting in. Maybe that changes, but as of now, he’d be HOVG.

waterfish_21 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 On 9/30/2023 at 7:21 AM, TecmoSuperJoe said: How many more quality seasons on par with what he's had starts to move him into HOF candidacy? 3 more season of 1500+ yards and 10+ tds and maybe he will get some talk. More games now, teams don't run as much anymore. More QB's tossing for more yards than ever so just like the economy there is a yardage inflation. I also don't think anyone thinks of Diggs as one of the best at his position for a sustained part of his career. Those are the guys that normally get into the hall. If 2023 plays out the way it does, it will be the 13th most passing yards average per game of all time, and remember we have the Justin Fields Bears and Zach Wilson Jets trying to tank this stat!!! . 14 of the top 15 passing yards average per game of all time happened in the last 15 years.

Billy86 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Hall of very good for me, WR numbers are massively inflated compared to where they were in previous generations. Awesome receiver, but I think the bar should be higher again for the position. That said he doesn't turn 20 until late November. If he can keep it up at this clip and ages very well then I might change my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
