Every time he drops a pass now I smh. Regardless of what other receivers around the league do. Other Qb's miss throws, have bad games/throw mass interceptions (Luck), but that doesn't stop the attacks on Dalton now does it? So lets stop using that as an excuse for Green. Like other qb's and Dalton, those receivers (Dez) has shown up in big games and made plays. Something Green hasn't shown he could do. We shouldn't settle for what Green is (a great receiver we are lucky to have), when he should be (with his talent) better (elite).
This post is just simply driven by a shitty analogy.
You whine about people attacking Andy, but you don't stop to realize that people do that because Andy has been worse than his peers at a higher rate than a lot of them throughout his career.
On the other hand, A.J. Green has been far and away one of the best 5 or 7 (at worst) WRs in the entire league since he's been in the NFL.
Nice try though, but some of us realize how stupid that analogy is.
A.J. drops passes at a lower or equal rate to his peers, so why should we say he isn't elite because of drops if we're going to turn around and say other guys are elite while ignoring drops? Sorry, but some of us watch games outside of Cincinnati and recognize that A.J. doesn't drop passes more often than the others.
