AJ Green.

Green is a great receiver. But in order to be considered elite, he's going to have to take over games (by himself if need be) like others have. He hasn't done that since 2011-12. And he can't use the qb as an excuse as Gordon and Megatron has worked with some pretty bad ones and had great numbers/performances.

And any of our players that want to be considered elite, will have to shine in the playoffs. That is where reputations and careers are established. That's when we'll see them on top 100 lists etc. We need our "elite" players to play elite in big games. If Dalton is average okay, fine, but then we cant slam him for not shining in playoff games, while giving a pass to our supposed "elite" players. That's just not right. Why expect an average player to carry us out of our post season blues. We should be demanding more from our "elite" players. That's why Green is starting to lose some of the steam he gained after a strong rookie season.

We can't slam an "average/below average" player for not being able to carry the team in big games and give passes to our elite players. If anything the elite players should be taking the heat for not stepping up. Especially if they want to be considered elite. They've all had 4 shots at it, but it's the average player who is tasked with saving the franchise.
