Green wasn't 100% last year, and didn't even catch a pass in 5 games. Our #2 receiver had the highest drop % in the league (with at least 50 receptions). The #3 receiver (Gresham) has had 6 fumbles the last 2 years, and always has costly penalties. Not to mention there has been multiple times where he causes INTs due to him stopping on routes, or times he just can't catch easy passes in the end zone.

I wasn't trying to shit on Andy for his 2014, but I just brought him up because of jj's logic he was using in his post.

I've said before that I cut Andy slack for what happened with the receivers in 2014. Andy did have Hill and Gio though, Ryan had to deal with old man Steven Jackson and Jacquizz Rodgers trying to see who can suck more over the course of a full season. Ryan lost Julio more than Andy lost A.J., and Roddy White was broken over the season but he did play a decent amount. Ryan had Gonzalez but he was 50 at the time.

I dunno, I think it's close, but it doesn't matter because I wasn't trying to hold anything against Andy with my comments, I was defending Matt Ryan more than anything.
