Discrepancy in the QB play should be taken in account with this.
I think you can evaluate them without bringing QB play into it. If you watch Dez, he's fantastic. AJ may be better at plucking balls out of the air, but Dez is more physical. They're both beasts and I don't see how anyone could say one is any better than the other.
Honestly, I think bringing QB play up is kind of silly. AJ has had amazing production with Dalton as his QB. You can't get much better than 1400 yards and 11 TD's. Unless you're Calvin Johnson. Of course, AJ hasn't been on Calvin's level, and the Bengals don't pass nearly as much as the Lions. So expecting 1600+ yards is kind of unrealistic.
In short, I don't see where Dalton has held AJ back.

Agreed. This is good news for us. AJ should get right around what Dez got.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
