who was the better WR?

[CJD]

As they say, the best ability is availability. Chad missed 9 games in 10 years with the Bengals. Green missed 33 games in 10 years with the Bengals.

Now, Green was technically more productive in the games he did play, as he averaged 5.1 receptions, 74.3 yards, 0.5 TDs per game and a catch percentage of 57.4% compared to Johnson's 5.0 receptions, 71.4 yards, 0.44 TDs per game and a catch percentage of 56%.

But the difference is so mild that it's basically negligible. Chad's availability had him producing a more consistent presence and impact on the team. He holds most of the team records at WR for a reason and AJ could have passed him if he could stay healthy, but he couldn't. At least not to the extent that Chad could.

Plus, and this is 100% bias on my part, Chad was just so fun to watch. I know you could make the opposite argument that he was a distraction, but I don't know about that. He wasn't a TO type that would cause havoc if he didn't get the ball...He just liked dancing.
