Quote:On a different forum I frequent, somebody is confident that Hurns is as good (actually, "better") than Robinson. His confidence in Hurns is based on:

 

"I was going to say the deep ball and overall route running are areas Hurns is better than Robinson. This is no knock on Robinson. I just don't think he's significantly better than Hurns in any facet of playing WR in the NFL. Hurns barely practiced last year as he battled injuries all season yet was still highly productive. I think because Hurns was undrafted its hard for many FF GM's to dare say Hurns is a superior WR to Robinson. They're both good and I think Hurns has just as good a chance to lead the team in receiving yards as Robinson."

 

 

 

I think that Hurns is a good WR himself, but I consider Robinson to be one of the top 10 WRs in the league. Am I missing something here or do the majority of you feel that Hurns is just good as Robinson, too?

 

Allen Robinson out played Allen Hurns this year, it's simply fact.  I do agree that Allen Hurns played hurt and is a true sign of his toughness & professionalism but on the field AR15 was better.   Now that being said they are both great WRs slightly different roles, Allen Hurns is more of a over the middle WR like T.O. or Jerry Rice was while Allen Robinson is a big, fluid, outside receiver able to break free of the press coverage and go deep straight down the field (out jumping all other WRs for the ball)... He's almost like as if Art Monk had a baby with Randy Moss (not nearly as fast as Randy or as great hands as Art Monk but good enough to be an elite Hybrid of the two).. trying to think of the best WR to compare him to...

 

In my Opinion Allen Hurns had the better rookie year, but Allen Robinson had the better 2nd year.  Both equal 16 total Touchdowns in 2 years, in regards to yards 1,948 for Allen Robinson to 1,708 for Allen Hurns.

 

The team went from having no good WRs for over a decade to having two elite ones.  In fact most people see Allen Robinson as one of the top 5 WRs in the NFL next year (especially in Fantasy Football).
