Robb4242 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 There was a lot of debate about who was going to be the better receiver, even before it was known we were thinking about trading up.Julio Jones7 receptions100 yards14.3 ypc0 TDsAJ Green with a rookie QB11 receptions165 yards15.0 ypc2 TDsIt's very early, just 2 games, but both receivers have looked good. Jones is becoming a favorite target of Ryan (not sure where to find the targeted stats, but I think JJ might lead the team for WRs targeted), and I think we'll see his production increase. But IMO, AJ has looked like the more polished and NFL ready of the 2 receivers thus far. Question is, how will he hold up over a full season? I think this is going to be a great battle throughout their careers to see which becomes the best receiver from this draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderboy09 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Well....look at the defenses AJ has gone against his first 2 games.....don't worry, the numbers will even out once JJ gets to feast on terrible db's as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I don't think AJ Green would have done much this week lining up against Asomugha and Samuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconWong88 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) AJ Green is the only LEGIT option over there. He's a number 1 for sure. Over here Julio is playing with weapons like Roddy, Tony, and Harry. Not to mention a running game with Turner, Snellz, and Quizz.Plus the level of competition.

FalconsfanDK Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) i don't care much about who gets more yards or td's... we got a great player, they got a great player... Julio is gonna help us out a lot, AJ is gonna help them out a lot.while it is true that Julio has been covered by better corners these first two games, i think it is way too early to draw any conclusions on these two compared to each other... the only conclusion i can come up with is that i think both will be great receivers in this league for years.

falconidae Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Real interesting piece by Bill Simmons on ESPN about how to beat the Eagles. Part of it was, 3rd corner for the eagles is so much better than their 3rd LB that staying out of 3 WR sets and keeping DRC on the sidelines was the way to go, even if you had to keep Jones on the sideline.Ryan and Jones have missed connections on a couple of bombs so far-once they start hitting, this O will look different.
