HerbertGOAT Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Andre Johnson has nothing over Julio except for the fact he played with worse QBs. Andre Johnson is a debatable HOFer, Julio is possibly a top 5 receiver ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB is head and shoulders above Julio and he's not even a lock top 5 WR of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accumulative yards (and to a lesser extent TDs) are a superficial factor when comparing players. Edited June 12, 2022 by Duluther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accumulative yards (and to a lesser extent TDs) are a superficial factor when comparing players. Which is why I also said that some fans thought he was better than Fitzgerald during that time. In fact probably until Fitz went off in the 09 playoffs Rice style. Andre Johnson is a top 20 WR of all time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tk3 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Andre deserves more recognition than he gets, but its still Julio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastest to reach most Career yardage milestones, Most YPG, Most seasons averaging 100+ YPG, Most 250+ yard games. His lack of TDs holds him back. And AB is NOT head and shoulders above Julio. AB is probably better but they're at least comparable, and there's solid arguments for either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammymvpknight Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Saints fan…Julio is not a top 5 WR ever. That’s insane. But he is better than Johnson. Both allergic to pay dirt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Andre for me. Criminally underrated and I think fans have always tad bit overrated Julio. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Simialair players in a lot of ways. Andre was a beast. Julio amazing as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very similar with offenses played in, playstyles, etc. Julio had the definition of consistency with Matt Ryan as his QB for the duration of his peak. Johnson had a rotating cast of guys - David Carr, Matt Schaub, Sage Rosenfels, TJ Yates, Case Keenum - despite that, AJ didn’t really drop in productivity, he was always a 8/110 guy regardless of QB. I’m biased though, so you know my vote. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
