The interesting parts aren't about the idea that Green can blow their minds, but more of what was said inside the article as it relates to this discussion.
1) Over and over pre-draft the talk was about the Bengals WR and lack of separation.
"The Cardinals believe Green can still be very good. He will no longer be the focal point of opposing defenses. Steve Keim noted he still gets separation, he still can move, he has great hands and catches the ball well in traffic."
2) He only had 47 receptions on 104 targets in 2020. Keim said 38 of the passes thrown to him last year were uncatchable.
That bold part of that statement is concerning, is this a young QB finding his way? A flawed OL causing bad throws? Poor play-design?
Figured after reading it I'd toss it in here to go along with discussion on the Bengals WRs as it seems like relevant information.
The biggest problem with AJ last year is he couldn't get any separation and that is the reason the passes were uncatchable
as Burrow had to put it where only his guy could get it. That wasn't Burrow's fault FFS.
Wish the best for AJ and hope he does well in Zona but that is some wishful thinking going on. He has lost more than just
one step he has lost like 4.
