Personally, I don't know who I'd rather have than AJ. I can see some guys who would be a lateral move swapping with AJ. But, no one is head and shoulders better. Plus, you add in AJ's attitude, which is head and shoulders above any other WR I've ever heard. That makes AJ elite, probably more than Chad Johnson ever was.
He is elite. Haters just being silly. Any player that roast Baltimore like he has makes him special in my book. They are just hoping to cover him for a game before he retires at this point.

Here's a huge disparity. Julio Jones has the most catches in the league (125+) while AJ has only 75'ish. But Julio has been targeted 75 more times.
Would AJ be "elite" if he had more targets? We have way more offensive weapons than Atlanta, so. Antonio Brown is in a similar situation with 123 catches but a lot more targets.
AJ and Julio Jones catch rate is within 1% of each other.
So the question then is who do we think is elite to compare AJ to? Ms. Beckham?
Ah yes. AJ Green didn't have a spectacular game (just a good one) against the number 1 defense in the league with a backup QB throwing him the ball, he's not elite. Brilliant!
I guess you loved the play where he totally gave up on the pass in the end zone in a game that SIGNIFICANTLY mattered and oh by the way; had he NOT and caught it (which he does have the talent to do) - we win the game.
Not questioning his talent. Hence the use of the word "EXCELLENT" several times in labeling him. He has SICK "talent".
I question him being ELITE. Having heart, passion, blocking like a beast, fighting for the ball, having that "put the game on my back and I will win it for this team" are a few (not all) qualities he does not possess that make him NOT elite.

He could be as he has the skill set.
As it turns out, I happen to know 31 other teams who would love to have AJ on their roster. Just something to keep in the back of your mind.
