From 2003-2007 Chad was 4th, 6th, 3rd, 1st and 3rd in the NFL in receiving yards and he led the conference in 4 of those 5 years. In a similar stretch AJ was 10th, 5th, 20th, 8th, and 28th.
Given a couple of AJ's years in the 20s was due to injury, but that's another check in Chad's block. He didn't miss a game due to injury in his first 6 years in the league. Dude got stretchered off the field one game and was back the next.
Generations matter. Many consider Isaac Curtis the best Bengal WR ever and he never had a season of over 1,000 yards and only 2 over 800. AJ is good, but he's no Chad.
True, however back in Isaac's day, there was no such thing as pass interference. He basically was mugged the whole time.
