What would either Roddy or Julio do with Tom Brady throwing them the ball?


They would be wearing rings even if their stats were lower....

 

[dkmightyhammer]

It's gotta be Julio right? But the truth is you can't go wrong picking either Jones or White. It's like picking between hamburgers or pizza. You're gonna be happy either way.

 

[Scooby-Doo]

It's Jones and its not even close. I would pick Andre Rison over White.

It's Jones

yet white is being called "the greatest falcons receiver of all time". he isnt.

He's probably the greatest retired Falcon . He gets extra points because he played his whole career in Atlanta

 

[Rock Strongo]

He's probably the greatest retired Falcon . He gets extra points because he played his whole career in Atlanta

he had 2, 200+ yards games. 210 and 201 in his 11 year career.

jones has had 2, 200+ as well...one being 300 fucking yards.

Who was tossing the pigskin to White those first 6 years???? Ryan wasn't there till 2008?

Vick, Schaub, Redman, Harrington, Leftwich.....

Gotta say that White made Cordon Bleu out of chicken shit.

 

[Balljim55]

If they were both 27, how could you pick White over Jones?

yup. he didnt have ryan and the downfield game. he was a very very good receiver. he led the nfl in receptions, once...thats it.

I'm not saying he's better than Jones, just that stats as presented could be deceiving.

6 years? He had 2 years with Vick/Schaub where he did nothing, one year with no QB where he put up normal Roddy White numbers and then a whole bunch of years with Matt Ryan.

Honestly, thats probably in the top 50% of WRs in terms of QB play in a career.

Which I'm pretty sure is what I was trying to point out?

Well, 2 years isn't exactly 6 years.

White played with better QBs than most WRs.

3 years. I even said Ryan arrived in 2008. So 2005-2007 is 3 years. Then he got Ryan as a rookie, etc.

You should read what I said more closely.

Considering what he had for half those 6 years he did pretty well.

But he only played well in 1 year...nevermind.

You said 6 and meant 3 but at the end of the day we all know Jones is the guy so I'll just leave it alone

I said exactly what I meant.

I said over his first 6 years and Ryan was there for 3 and the 1st 3 was nobodies.

Rock posted stats for first 6 years of each. White's don't look that bad in comparison considering he never had Ryan for all 6.
