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.
That's a guy on a "new" team spinning yarns about a "new" player and it's a bunch of BS. I just went back and watched all the incomplete passes thrown toward AJ last year and what i saw was a bunch of shitty route running a bunch of shitty effort and more than a few passes hit his hands that he couldn't bring in. And that's not including the shitty body language that i saw over and over again.
Nothing at all to be concerned about unless you're a Cardinals fan and you're expecting 'prime AJ'.
