What about per game? Isn't that what you want to go by? Your argument seems to indicate that Julio may be a marginally better receiver, at best, but a way bigger pussy.
Over their careers, Julio averages about 0.5 more targets per game, which he's turned into about 0.7 more catches per game.
I'm pulling for AJ, it'd be nice to make this thread competitive again. Maybe this year he can finally get his first 1,800 yard season, or 1,700... or 1,600... or 1,500. Seems like maybe it's finally his time to break into that elusive top 65 ranking for single season receiving yards, or at least post the top receiving season for a Bengal.
What happened is the Bengals messed up and drafted AJ Green instead of Julio back in 2011 and they continue to pay the price for their mistake.
Julio has been trolling AJ early this season. Oh you think you're getting better than me? lolwrongnumber
NFL morning after: Julio Jones is playing like no receiver ever Posted by Michael David Smith on October 3, 2016, 9:03 AM EDT AP Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones had a whopping 300 receiving yards in yesterday’s win over the Panthers, but 300 is not the number I want to focus on this morning. The number I want to focus on is 96.9. That’s the number of yards per game that Jones has averaged over the course of his six-year NFL career. And it’s an extraordinary number. Jones’s average of 96.9 yards a game is the best in NFL history, but it’s not just the best ever — it’s the best ever by a huge margin. In fact, no other player in NFL history has even come within 10 yards of Jones’s average. The second-best receiver in NFL history in terms of average yards per game is Calvin Johnson, who averaged 86.1 yards a game. Everyone who follows football knows that Jones is a good receiver, but I’m not sure that many people realize that Jones is the most productive receiver on a per-game basis in NFL history, and it’s not even close. Part of this, of course, is the era Jones plays in: Jones has better numbers than Jerry Rice had at the same point in his career, and better numbers than Don Hutson had at the same point in his career, but that’s not to say Jones is as great a player as Rice and Hutson were. Thanks to rules changes and strategy changes, passing yardage has steadily gone up around the NFL, and it’s a lot easier for a receiver to have 100, 200 or even 300 yards in a game than it used to be. But even in this era of inflated receiving numbers, none of Jones’s contemporaries are even close to that 96.9 yards per game. Jones, who through four games this season is on pace for an NFL record 1,952 receiving yards, is playing like no other receiver, ever.
Sure, he might be the most productive receiver in the history of the NFL through this point in his career, but how many TOTAL yards and TDs does he have? That is the only true measure of greatness.
