Re: Ranking the best receivers in the league.

Makes sense when even Jones gets criticized for drops, he is the worst this year, especially in the endzone. Of course having a bad QB doesnīt help, too.

Itīs scary to see how Brown is destroying everyone so far. Would put him ahead of Dez and Nelson.

Re: Ranking the best receivers in the league.

I'll take Dez. Yes I'm 100% bias. It sucks that his stats are going to go down, but he's one of the most physically gifted athletes I've ever watched. Why we throw to anyone else in the red zone is beyond me. Total freak.

Re: Ranking the best receivers in the league.

Calvin Johnson is the best because he's the whole package, but this next wave is pretty awesome.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Brown. He's so electric. Dez Bryant is a close second to me.

Re: Ranking the best receivers in the league.

A.J. Green looks primed for a big game. He's not as physically gifted as Jones and Bryant, but he's so refined in terms of route-running, hand-eye coordination, balance, hands, etc. He could regain his #2 spot.

Who does he remind you of?

Julio=Andre Johnson

Dez=T.O.?

A.J.=Reggie Wayne?

Antonio Brown is open all the time, and kills double teams.

Brown "struggles" against more physical CBs. Alot of Ben's/Brown's game is based on timing. Throw off the rhythm with a good jam at the line and its not there. Brown will still make some plays, but isnt quite as scary. I think Brown wouldve had some more issues if Vontae Davis didnt get hurt last game.

The only way to cover Brown consistently well is with a really good press man cover corner. He will tear up soft zone coverages all day and if you arent physical with him in man or dont have the same elite quickness, he will eat them up too.

That being said, I wouldnt trade Brown for anyone right now that isnt named Calvin Johnson....WR wise.

Same with Fitzgerald.

Part of the reason I hate the whole "what have you done for me lately" deal when it comes to rating individual players.
