AJ averaged 74 yards/gm here while Chad averaged 71 yards/gm. AJ had a slightly higher catch rate and I think most would argue Chad had the better QB throwing him the ball.

I love them both and they are two completely different types of WR’s. Both were Top 3 WR’s in their prime. Both were dominant. Both had great Bengals careers. I’d give the slight edge to AJ, but it’s incredibly close no matter which one you choose. Anyone saying this is a clear choice must not have watched or can’t remember both of them playing well enough.

AJ has no 5 year stretch in his career that can compare with Chad. During a 5 year stretch, Chad's lowest ranking in yardage was 6th. He led the AFC in receiving yards 3 consecutive years.

Also, not saying you, people talk about how poor Dalton was and how his numbers were inflated by the league being more pass happy. Obviously that would also benefit AJ.

Chad was without a doubt a top 3 WR in his prime. AJ was a top 10, maybe top 5. Again, not knocking AJ at all. He's an all-time great Bengal. Chad was definitely better though.
