Talent wise, i would put his against anyone...that has ever played the game. 

Production isn't really his fault. Since he's been in the league, Dalton has the 9th most attempts and 10th most completions and AJ has been targeted the 5th most of any WR in that time. The problem wasn't Marv...

Sorry, but when you're 30+, an injury is never a blessing. Even in disguise.

An MRI revealed that Bengals’ WR A.J. Green has torn ligaments in his left ankle that is likely to sideline him six to eight weeks, source tells ESPN. Green is not expected to be ready for the regular-season opener at Seattle.

Anything torn in the lower ankle for sure means surgery,I know I been there and done that,they do not fix themselves,have to repair it under the knife.So so sad,there goes ZTs wonderful so-called season.That will cost us at least 3 games so here we go to 6 and 10 again and the players will be so bummed,ZT will have to be a genius to keep this team together.just my thoughts

We legitimately need Bo Jackson to come to Cincinnati and tell us he lifts the curse. There is no way a franchise can be so unlucky for so long.

Has 2 videos of the play in question when the injury occurred. The second being a close up of Dre landing on AJ's leg.

You know what I say about aging? Get old or die. There are no further options...period.

Zac Taylor would not confirm the A.J. Green injury diagnosis. Says he will see more doctors tomorrow and will have an update and timeline then. Too early for a timeline. #Bengals

Zac Taylor on A.J. Green:

"Doesn't appear to be anything extremely long term. We'll find out more tomorrow."

"Hopeful he can play in all of the games, but don't want to make a prediction now." #Bengals

A second opinion on a sprained ankle? Wow..now THAT'S showing confidence in the first doctor if ever there was such a thing.. I almost can envision, "Prep him for amputation STAT! before gangrene sets in!" 
That's my version of confidence in Bengals good fortune.. 

It just never stops.

That's not necessarily true. I tore a ligament in my ankle playing basketball and it was able to heal on it's own through about a month of physical therapy. They can definitely fix themselves. For a WR he may be back in 6-8 weeks but I don't think he'll be fully back and it might be a bother all season.

Honestly if they are right and it's a tear the news really can't get better...but it definitely can get worse.

Well this sucks. Time for boyd to show what he can do as a number 1 wr for a while. Hes has the talent.

Well when they say that a player is "dinged" and then they're out for the year it makes you wonder for everything they report.

Saw the video,  Dre over did that play. His self-esteem is low. Guy played as if he was playing in the super bowl trying to INT, and landed all over the field doing so. He was probably afraid to have been called a flop here at the boards again by a magnificent catch by AJ in a meaningless practice. If only he would play like that against the squeelers instead. Even if you throw a pass directly at Dre its gonna flop out of his hands.
