But it’s a crime this man never got to play with a real QB! Serious skill + physical talent at the WR position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always enjoyed watching him play from Day 1. Heck of a player. One of those Hall of Very Good ones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people on here that call Max Crosby the best pass rusher in the NFL too, that doesn’t mean it’s arguable. I don’t think there was a single season where Green wasn’t overshadowed by Julio/Megatron/AB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 He was awesome. Sucks injuries zapped some of his ability and he never had great QB play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Tso Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 I could also just be forgetting what exactly people were arguing at that point, it might've just been Green vs Julio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those Hall of Very Good ones. He was sort of a rich man’s Larry Fitzgerald IMO. Fitz was probably closer to #1 than Green was at certain points (largely due to competition IMO) and played longer, but similar type of player in the league.

Slappy Mc Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Biggest retirement this offseason. Can't think of a single person or teammate of his that is more noteworthy than his retirement. Enjoy it legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe56 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 AJ Green was really good and had a great career, but at no point was he as good or better than Julio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was about to argue until I re-read and saw the word lite. Phew that was close But there were a few years where Calvin and Larry were considered 1A and 1B before Calvin took a firm hold on the spot. Larry was most certainly a WR1 in his career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoboRocket Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 22 minutes ago, TheKillerNacho said: one of the more sudden severe drop-offs in recent memory. Enjoy retirement, AJ Sudden to us, optically. He tore his hamstring in 2016, didn't seem as explosive afterwards even though he was still super productive. And then he had that toe/foot injury in 2018 as a 30 year old, missed a handful of games, came back and then aggravated it and missed the remainder of the season. And THEN he hurt his ankle first day of training camp the following year and missed the entire season as a 31-year-old. Lot of lower body injuries for an older big WR, he had absolutely zero explosion by the time he was in AZ. He was called out by Greg Dortch and Rondale Moore for jogging when he wasn't the primary read and quitting on routes. Main reason he got phased out of the offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
