Julio Jones

[CalamityX11]

I'd make that trade for Jadeveon Clowney next year!!

+ a million

Is that what Atlanta list him as? At the combines I remember him being listed in the 6'1 range.

NFL.com listed his combine height at 6'3, while ESPN listed it as 6'2 and 3/4.

NFL.com listed his combine height at 6'3, while ESPN listed it as 6'2 and 3/4.

You have to be careful anytime you see a level, rounded number like 6'3 for a guy's height if you're looking for a combine/pro day height measurement. Alot of sites just round up or down instead of putting the exact height. Julio was 6'2 3/4 and 220 lbs at the combine, though.

JULLLLLLLLLIOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

He was the most exciting player to watch when I was in school at Bama. He looked fierce whenever you saw him on campus as well.

Congratulations on the win.

I think NFL.com is probably one of the worst when it comes to rounding. I just included it to show Julio was closer to his listed 6'3 than 6'1.

 

[BINGO]

In college they had him listed at 6'4.

regardless, Patterson is not "bigger" than him.

 

[stillmatic32]

I thought he'd be better than green then I was convinced I was wrong. Now I don't know.

I felt exactly the same way.

 

[Tubbs1518]

I still think Green is better, but not by as large a margin as before.

Quintorris Jones is/was great. You guys have another great one in Cooper, too.

Well, if Green had Ryan throwing to him...

 

[NinerSickness]

I still think Green is better, but not by as large a margin as before.

So do I.

1) Megatron
2) AJ Green
3) Julio
4) A huge gap
5) The rest. Fitz, Dez, Damariyus, Roddy, Marshall, etc.

 

[TobyTyler]

Julio Jones is a bad ass! Man, I wish the 49ers had a guy like him. Speaking of that, did anyone notice Chad Hall was activated over that piece of shit Jenkins? That is unbelieveable.

I'm startin' to think you gotta throw Crabtree in there too.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Well, if Green had Ryan throwing to him...

I agree. Give Green a guy who can hit him down the field and a WR like Roddy White across from him so they can't double him every time and the best TE of all time.

What amazes me is Green put up this numbers with a QB who just isn't very good at the deep ball and being doubled every game. Teams knew he was really our only offensive weapon.

 

[NinerSickness]

I'm startin' to think you gotta throw Crabtree in there too.

Not even close.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Crabtree isn't there yet. I don't think Dez is in Fitz, Marshall, Andre Johnson class yet either. You have to do it for more than 1 year. Both of those guys showed than can be though.

 

[Kinzu]

Julio Jones play alongside Roddy White who was an established #1 Receiver before Jones ever got there. He's also greatly benefited from probably the best TE to ever play in the NFL,Tony Gonzalez.

Teams can't afford to double cover Jones because if they do White and Gonzalez will have big days. This means all 3 of those guys usually only see zone coverage or man on man.

Guys like AJ Green and Calvin Johnson do not have that luxury and have to beat double coverage a lot more often. I still don't think it's even close that AJ Green is the better WR of the two.

 

[TobyTyler]

Not even close.

Has anyone been more productive than him over the last 6 weeks or so?

 

[NinerSickness]

Has anyone been more productive than him over the last 6 weeks or so?

I don't know, but even if he's had the best stretch of 6 weeks, that doesn't make him a top 5 or even top 10 WR in the NFL.

He's doing a lot better than when he had noodle arm at QB, but we can't honestly say he's even as good as guys like Hakeem Nicks, Vincent Jackson, Dwayne Bowe, Steve Smith, Marques Colston, Andre Johnson or any of the guys I mentoned before. Justin Blackmon will soon be better than him too (if he isn't already).

Heck, I might take Greg Little over Crabby.
