abcranford2 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 yea, really no comparison...roy williams is really awkward looking when he runs...hes all legs, no upper body...julio is alot more agile and like everybody else has stated way more physical...julio is a running back at the wide reciever position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dem Birds Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Man, you guys went off on homeboy unnecessarily. Granted, he posts a lot of negative stuff, but he wasn't trying to portray Julio in a bad light, he was saying he will be what Roy Williams was expected to be. Some of you guys struggle with reading comprehension.As far as comparing him to anyone, he shouldn't be compared to Roy Williams and especially not Larry Fitzgerald as some of you want to do. Let him get on the field first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bama4Life Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 i think the comparison to Bolden is right on, gurantee we could have gotten Bolden for a 1st, 2nd, and two 4ths and still kept a first round pickJulio is younger and will blow Boldens stats away after all is said and done. People will be comparing wr's from the next ten drafts to Julio. Not Bolden, T.O., Fitzgerald, Rogers, Ocho. He will be the the next Jerry Rice 2.0. He will go down as one of the NFL receivers to ever play the game. Anyone saying otherwise is just plain ignorant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return of SWFT Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I expect JJ being a Fitz type player imo.the lols in this thread is a all time high but this one takes the cake.. JJ is not in same breathe as Fitz Fitz first off has ELITE HANDS ...thats first off Fitz rarely ever drops a ball ..Jones will occasionally drop a ball not a big deal . 2nd Fitz has the best body control a wr can have. Julio Jones will be in same ball park as this man below..he can turn out slightly better . I know Jones is a slight taller and faster but I think if we wanted a comparison this type of player we will be gettinghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kdgy47ZagU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do you one better and cut you the first slice of your fail cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Sir Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 but every player that comes into the NFL gets compared to current or former players, i dont think any one is saying he will or is as good as these players (at least im not). its just a comparison to try and get a feel of what type of player HE COULD BE not saying he is, and what type of style WR he is... any ways im not bashing any one im jus saying i think he resembles a few players and can only hope he becomes one or close to one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtybird1989 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Julio Jones and Roy Williams are carbon copies nearly. They are both about 6-3, 215. They both have trouble with dropping balls. Both ran 4.3-4.4 in the 40. They are both very strong. They both wear/wore number 11 in the NFL.Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he is going to be a bust. But what Roy Williams did as the number one option in Detroit (800-1200 yards and 7-9 TDs a year) is what Julio Jones will do for the Falcons as the third or fourth option (Roddy White, Michael Turner being 1 and 2, TG maybe being number 3).You cant compare a boar to a pig.

Young Sir Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 that was cold but yeah i agree its for argument sake in a sense and thats what some threads are for to argue hear others opinions not get shut down... this is a discussion it shouldn't be no you cant do this you cant do that its a free world speak your mind and if you think julio is gonna be the next fitz :mellow: then say it does it mean its true no but i like to hear others opinions even if i dont agree with them, if i dont ill just share mine and thats that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wastelander Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Julio Jones has a totally different name than Roy Williams though. You can't compare those two. Same goes for Fitz and Rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dirty Bird Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Julio hasn't busted or soared yet. As a matter of fact, he hasn't caught one pass in the NFL.It's universally said that Jerry gave up WAY too much for Roy. Time will tell on Julio. But I can't imagine him even having the year Mike Williams had last year. But at this point, it's all imagining I guess.Julio's biggest impact will not be statistically so it is not fair to compare him to other rookie WRs who are going to come in as #1 WRs like Mike Williams did last year and AJ Green and Greg Little will this year. Julio will spread out the defense preventing stacked boxes for Michael Turner, opening the middle for Tony Gonzalez, and preventing frequent double teams on Roddy White.Mike Williams came in to a team who had to throw from behind to stay in and win games and he was the #1 WR on a passing team -- his #s were inflated and I honestly don't think he will do better than that for his career with Arrelious Benn emerging, Sammie Stroughter back, and Kellen Winslow healthy in the mix (not to mention Blount and Stocker). In 3 years, Julio will start to have a significant impact statistically. I don't say this because of the 3 year WR rule -- I think Julio is ready to contribute immediately -- I say this because Roddy White will be 30, Michael Turner will be over 30, and Tony Gonzalez will be gone. Julio will become the #1 passing option and Roddy will become the #2, like how the Colts offense transitioned with Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne as Marvin got older. Julio has some Andre Johnson in him, all he has to do is refine his game and knockout Cortland Finnegan and the stats will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hustle Up Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Wrong! Having the same physical attributes doesn't make them the same player. Julio's work ethic will definitely get him in the top 5 in the league at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyHighFalcons Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Love how this got dug up. Stick to current topics. And also, I just caught that somebody said that I mentioned Michael Turner being out number two receiving option: I never said that, I said he is the number two option on the offense. He is probably more of the first option on the offense, but still ahead of Julio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Right Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Stats wise, it wouldn't surprise me if Jones puts up numbers similar to Eric Weems due to our run, run, pass to Gonzalez/White, punt scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoism Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Stats wise, it wouldn't surprise me if Jones puts up numbers similar to Eric Weems due to our run, run, pass to Gonzalez/White, punt scheme.The idea of drafting both Jones and Rodgers was to increase our performance on offense (i.e. less 3 and outs, not relying only on White, much less on 3rd down). Come on, wake up kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiruz Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 the comparisons to TO and Anquan are spot on IMO. Julio has similar physical attributes to both: ie: blocks, takes hits, YAC, and drops...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
