    Watching the pregame show. Rodney Harrison talking about how Julio Jones is the best Receiver in the league. Didn’t even mention Antonio.

    Julio is no doubt the more physically gifted of the two but AB has outplayed him all year. Also I can’t say someone is the best in the league when they miss games constantly like Julio does. Or drops game winning touchdowns like he did against the panthers.

    Spot on. Jones can't make the catches that AB makes. If it were my team, I'd much rather have AB over an often injured, sometimes underachieving Jones.

    Brown is the best receiver in the game and it isn't close.

    An puts it on film for all to see.

    This is the first game all year where JJ showed up on my fantasy score

    His route running, body control, and reaction time is phenomenal. And I'm not even a big AB fan, but he is no doubt the best in the league right now.

    Just seems that since he was a 1st round pick and he puts up good numbers he’s better than anyone else.

    It just annoyed me to hear him say that. Just disrespectful

    Keep in mind, in order to keep their jobs, pundits must say something other than the next one.

    Yeah, AB is better... I know I'm a little biased as a Steelers fan, but man all he does is make plays all the time. Never gets shut down, very rarely held in check. Balls out on national tv consistently. He makes some of the most spectacular sideline catches, and does it week in and week out. That catch on the last drive tonight was absolutely bonkers. The thing is that he's so good and does it so often that it's not even amazing anymore. You come to expect it from him.

    Julio Jones is a fantastic receiver, but over the past 5 years it's hard to argue that he's been better than Brown. AB is shorter and slower than Jones, but consistently outperforms him. It's been an absolute treat to watch him play football.

    What Brown is doing is something special. IMO he's entering HOF discussions if he can continue to do this. He needs a SB ring and 3 more 1000 yard seasons. I don't recall many WR's with hands like his and I remember Rice, Monk, Largent, etc. Dude's ball skills are unreal.

    The fact that AB is as great as he is at his size is mind boggling.

    There isnt a receiver in the game Id take over him.

    Harrison is a Steelers hater, you will never hear him say anything positive about us. If Antonio was a cheat, he would say that AB was one of the best ever.

    If the Steelers can transition from BEN (Montana) to their next QB(Young) then AB will become the NEW GOAT (Rice)


    But we have seen AB take the stat hit when its an average QB throwing

    Well when Jones has the game he had this past week they gotta talk about him, it wasn't to long ago that people were asking what is wrong then bam 250yds. AB just keeps plugging along, they showed a stat last night about being 1 or 2 in yards for 5 years and there were only 2 guys on that list and AB will be the 3rd. Oh did I mention the other 2 guys were in black and white, at least I think they were but my point is with all the great WR's that have been around AB is doing something many haven't.

    It is so hard to compare one player to another but one thing I want to point out about AB is the fact that with all the numbers he puts up you never hear about an"MVP" throwing to him. When Jones had the big season last year Ryan was talked about as the MVP. Just a point I felt was interesting, no slam on Ben or anything just kinda weird AB puts up great numbers and neither him or Ben get any MVP love......

    Jones is a true talent. He's more physically gifted than AB, but he is not even remotely close to being as disciplined.

    Brown is on pace to be one of the absolute best receivers to play the game. He's one super bowl (and this isn't even 100% on a have-to-have basis) and five more good years away from legit being in the GOAT conversation.

    Insane.

    Julio Jones is a special talent, and great football player. AB is something beyond that.

    There’s someone out here who insists that he’s a cancer, and should be traded.
