Maybe Simms is taking into account that Adams only has one 1000 yd year and gets hurt a lot...

Every bit as good as Adams in contested catches, arguably better. Often requires multiple defenders to get him to the ground as he simply has more power in his game than Adams. There's multiple plays where he's literally running DB's over. Makes acrobatic catches with the best of them. Every bit as fast as Adams, maybe faster. |
Who would you rather have, Adams or Hill?

Another dude that deserves some consideration is Devante Parker, he was very good with a whole lot of nothing around him.

I'm watching this and asking myself, is there anything in here that any other WR in Simms' top 10 list that COULDN'T do? My answer is no. Matter of fact, i'm watching this and thinking, man if that were "so and so", that pass may have actually gone to the house. A perfect example is @ 2:31. Adams catches a wide open slant that OBJ likely woulda housed, but Adams gets caught from behind. He gets caught from behind fairly frequently actually. And that's the difference between top 10 and 11-15. |

He runs good routes and has great hands. I guess he’s got pretty good size. Eh. He gets a lot of love and I’ve never really paid attention to his numbers. I was shocked to see he’s only broken 1,000 yards in one season. |

I never argued against Sutton, that was RunKC. I don’t think he’s better than Adams yet, but he’s younger and more talented. Either way I don’t really have a problem with that, I just think saying he’s “far better” after the catch is baseless. I wouldn’t even have a problem if you said he was better.
I also don’t have a problem with OBJ. There’s no way you can tell me Green or Cooper should be ahead of him though, which is why I still think he’s top 10. I also think you’re really underestimating what he does well considering you haven’t once acknowledged how great his hands and route running are combined with downplaying how good he is after the catch. |
I think Adams is debatable there because you get to where guys have flaws. Amari Cooper has his flaws and well AJ Green doesn't really play much now.

And Cooper...i've never liked Cooper. Not even coming out of college. And yeah, i don't think his RAC is special. |

Amari Cooper is just one of those potential guys. He's been riding on it for a while now.
He's got great size, great speed, runs great routes. If he just put it all together he could easily be a top 3-5 guy. Instead he has some inopportune drops and disappears for stretches during the season. |
I live in Green Bay so I've seen Adams play quite a few times.
He's good, but not anything super special. He's in the 12-15 range. If you want to argue top 10 that's fine, but it's not some travesty to leave him out. I also saw Javon Walker in his prime back in the day and he stood out way more than Adams. I'm just glad to see Hill getting the recognition he deserves. I can honestly say there isn't a single WR in football I'd take over him. Not just for his sick talent, but he is as tough of a player as I have ever seen at any position. I'll never forget that game in 2018 against the Ravens where he made that 4th and 9 catch when his ankle was literally dangling from his calf. It was ridiculous. Then obviously last year, to come back from that freak injury as quickly as he did. Not to mention all the times he's been laid out and just hopped right back up. Love that guy. |
