Falcons Fan MVP 3,741 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Do you think that Julio Jones will be able to bounce back next year with his hamstring injuries? Julio has been able to stay fairly healthy until this pandemic off-season. Hopefully this year is just a fluke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Osiruz 10,079 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Honestly I love Julio he is a legend and I am not too concerned about his injuries. I am more concerned about his age and I think the time has come for us to trade him and draft his replacement. If we can somehow net a 1st and a 3rd as compensation i am all for it. You parlay that 1st into someone like Jamarr Chase and get younger until we draft Ryan's replacement in 1-2 years from now. You can use that 3rd on pass rush, RB, or a corner.

If we traded him he would probably turn into 2016 Julio again. Same with Matt Murphy's law type thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kiwifalcon 19,346 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Zero concerns Zero. Dudes been playing with a rod in his foot for a decade. 11s style of play is physical he’s to well prepared to be worried about injuries. It may hamper him short term but for long term durability zero worries. athell, Francis York Morgan and Falcons Fan MVP 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For a 1st and 3rd, of course you trade him. But no chance we get that unless the Falcons agree to eat most of his remaining contract. Osiruz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We would probably draft a couple of bums like Takk and Beasley while Julio lights it up somewhere else. 😂 rounz and Day1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pa_falcon_fan 1,989 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 No. He is averaging 15 yards a catch which is in line with his career average (15.2). Unless he starts missing multiple games in a row or something, you roll with Julio. Julio at 80% is still better than most other receivers in the league so removing him weakens the team.

MAD597 7,497 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I'm more concerned with his lack of TD's in his career compared to his yards and number of receptions. I've never seen a more dominant WR that for some reason has the worst time actually scoring TD's. Best WR for the first 90 yds of the field, pitiful for the last 10 yds dawgsjw 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IMO it's almost impossible to build a roster with enough talent and depth to win a SB with so much cap space tied up in the QB and WR positions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Speckled Trout 1 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 He has hamstring issues because he doesn't work out properly - too much money has drained the drive completely out of him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
