Booch Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Interesting to note that after Darvin's first 10 games this year combined with his 8 last year he has put up the numbers of 109 receptions...1356 yards (avg 12.4 yds a catch) and 11 TD'S over the course of a season, not to mention 9 more receptions for 240 yards and 2 TD's over his last 2. Now if those aren't elite receiver numbers to put to bed the notion that he isn't an "elite" receiver then I don't know what is.....not to mention the yac he gets with tough yards and key second down grabs he makes. Very impressive for when at the time his signing was kind of met with a "meh" and " Who dat" kind of impression Man if we could add another burner, or an Alfred Jackson type (last years version) to the mix with what we currently employ on offence with Harris and Flanders...damn look out Edited October 2, 2017 by Booch wbbfan, rebusrankin, Fred C Dobbs and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to the coaching staff/scouting staff for seeing his potential when he had never cracked 300 yards in 2 years in Toronto. IMO he is a top 3 receiver in the league right now. Or top 5 at the very least. blue_gold_84 and SPuDS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 i was just summarizing the last full consecutive 18 games he had played...last years eight and this first 10 to get a general sense of what a full season would have been and not just cherry pick the best 18 games SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say that about any player or coach that has had success. There was always an idiot or group of idiots that wanted them cut or fired. Hell we are 10-3 and people are talking about whether Richie Hall's job should be in jeopardy. You can't please everyone all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aalgernon Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Definitely he's a proven player at this point. Denmark has been having a great year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Quote Very impressive for when at the time his signing was kind of met with a "meh" and " Who dat" kind of impression Quote He was called lazy and disinterested here by a few people This is exactly what I remember being said about Adams. Many, who watched practices, said he looked lazy and disinterested. And many, who watched games, said he didn’t run full out, and ‘disappeared’ in some games. Now, it seems, many of those posters have ‘disappeared’. SPuDS, blue_gold_84, Fred C Dobbs and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold_Palmer Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Darvin Adams has really stepped up and become a legitimate number one reciever. Those two one handed touchdown grabs this season were absolutely ridiculous. I think consistency was his biggest issue but he's really been performing week in and week out.. Especially with Dressler injured Tracker, SPuDS and TBURGESS 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope....it was the 8 games last year and the first 10 this year to show what 18 game season would be. I guess if you went all games this year and backtracked to 18 the numbers might be even better bearpants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Yeah another perspective would be to look at his "on-pace" numbers from last year and this year: 2016 - 1552 yards, 13 TD 2017 - 1392 yards, 10 TD Now.... "on pace" doesn't mean much.... but those numbers are pretty elite and I fully expect him to hit and possibly surpass the 2017 projection. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoochylde Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I've been one of those people who has called Adams 'disinterested' at times .. I stand by it. He's always been the kind of guy who, unless you get him involved early, has had a tendency to check out a bit .. it's in those moments you'll see him struggle with drops / consistency .. has the team made a more concerted effort to get him going .. maybe he drank the Koolaid is is more onboard with what we're doing offensively .. who knows. All I know is that he's playing to the level he's always been capable of and I'm damned appreciative of it. Doesn't change the fact that early in his career (and early in his time as a Bomber) he didn't always show that same level of effort.

blue_gold_84 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Maybe Adams looked disinterested... maybe once way back when. I would, too, if I had no QB to throw me the ball or a competent OC to draw up plays. I don't believe he was ever disinterested, though. All that said, he has absolutely blossomed under the current duo of Nichols and LaPolice and has no doubt threw his hat in the all-star ring this season. He's been on a tear recently and his chemistry with Nichols is pretty unbelievable. That catch the other night at Commonwealth was incredible.

rebusrankin Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Adams is balling. I'm with Booch, if we could add another elite guy to go with Adams and our running back duo, look out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 it would open up so much underneath stuff it would be unreal.

Goalie Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Adams is elite but what pisses me off about him and other elite receivers is they tend to make the spectacular catch but at times drop the easy ones. Its a pet peeve of mine.. They all do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
