After watching A. Johnson tear up another NFL team tonight, how can anyone say D. Bryant is better?

Chop thinks K Stills is the best WR in the NFL

There's some sick stat where Calvin was tackled like 8 or 9 times inside the opponents 5 yard line.

I don't think light years but point is made that the best WR in football only had 5 TDs last year. Doesn't mean he's not the best and the best are not judged on scoring TDs.

There isn't a better predictor of long-term WR greatness/success than TDs really. Pretty much strongest correlation between top TD scorers and best WRs over any other metric/stat I can think of.

If you ask NFL players and GM's if they had a choice between AJ and Calvin, who would they choose?

Ask the same for fantasy football players across the world, who would they choose?

Of course they choose Calvin and I didn't say anyone wouldn't but to say Calvin is light years ahead of his competition is not accurate in my humble opinion.

So because Calvin J scored just 5 TDs last year what? He's still the best in the game.

Guy gets stopped inside the 5 a bunch of times and dude then punches it in for the TD. A td for the team is a td.

I'll still take Julio Jones #1......Great combination of speed and power plus young..............AJ gets hurt too much...If somebody wants to make an argument that Calvin is the best then I can't really debate it as he is really good.

I personally think AJ Green from the Bengals is the best in the NFL.....but I can see the argument for guys who disagree...

What I said was correct. Not sure what about it you didn't get...I said "long-term" i.e not 1 season

You just said "the best are not judged on scoring TDs" For the most part the WRs that have scored the most TDs are also the best WRs

Calvin/AJgreen/Marshall are clearly top 3 I think. That is that 1st tier by themselves right now followed by DThomas/AJ/Dez/FitzG after that you get a dropoff to the next tier like RWayne/Cruz/Welker


Edelman probably be #1 after this week

Agree with you Pats. Just pointing out that VD used AJ's lack of TDs last year as a measurement as to how good of a WR he is when the best WR in the game had only one more TD than AJ last year.
