Washed? Not Quite... - jj22 - 10-07-2021
Guess who is the leading receiver for the undefeated Arizona Cardinals...
You guessed it. All the receiving talent on that team and AJ is back shining. Maybe we mistakenly thought he was washed? I am happy for him. Looks like he is heading to the playoffs and has a great chance of getting his first playoff win elsewhere (as so many of our greats have).

Either he didnt give us full effort his last year here or ZT couldnt figure out how to use him
Love AJ but he looked done his last season here

He didn’t like the offense here. I watched an interview where he said the AZ offense has him doing things he is comfortable with. More so than Cinci was.
The weird thing to me is that I think it’s totally bogus. J Chase is doing things AJ did here on very similar routes. I think AJ was just done with a cinci. Too much turnover can be exhausting, and seeing all your friends/teammates shown the door doesn’t help.
Glad it’s working out for both parties at this point.

Neither he nor Dunlap wanted to play in this system because it was not what they were used to, and they didn't want to learn something new. Obviously Hubbard and Chase have no problem with the system as they both excel.

It's hard for me to believe AJ mailed it in because he no longer liked it here. Is that what we are saying. That's damaging to his legacy.
I'm going to go with he was just not fully recovered and trusting of his ankle.

Whatever the reason he wasn't worth the tag even prior to playing the season.
That money could've done more for the team used elsewhere(or at least a more healthy capable WR).
I'm not blaming him for it though.
The FO made a major blunder there.
