AJ Green is a very good WR....nothing more. He is the best WR on our team.....but not elite. My reasons:
1. AJ can make spectacular catches....he will jump, dive, or tiptoe to make a good catch.
2. Does not make the contested catch or or use his body to shield the defender off the ball. Eifert is the best on our team at that.
3. AJ can be covered and shut down by the other teams best DB.
4. Disappears in big games. Not every single one, but often enough for it to be noticeable.
5. Has yet to lay a devastating block on anyone. 5 yrs in, we should have seen 1 or 2 by now.
6. Has cost us games. See the fumble in pittsburgh last season, and the fumble against the texans this season.
I like his humbleness, I am glad he is on our team. But I will not say he is elite, or even that he is a difference maker. DCs can easily take him out of the game as a threat. But given our roster, even that is important because it forces them to use somebody decent to cover him. That leaves somebody else, like Eifert, Jones or Sanu with a not as good player covering them.
