Yep.

Green may put up bigger numbers, but will not be ranked as highly among his peers.
Chad finished in the top 6 in receiving yards 5 times and lead the league once.
Green has never finished higher than 5th.
I agree with the overall point of this post (that Chad was more dominant compared to his peers), but Chad's numbers from the prime of his career are very similar to AJ's.
Chad ('02 through '07)- 89-1339-8
AJ's 3 full seasons ('12, '13 and '15)- 94-1358-10.7
Also, saying Ocho "sucked" is too strong. After that silly name change, Chad made a Pro Bowl in 2009 with 1047 yards and 9 TDs in 15 games. Not up to Chad's old standards, sure. But in a run-first offense that's far from sucking. 831 yards and 4 scores as a #2 in 2010 wasn't really sucky either.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
