In regards to the rest of your post - almost all great number 1 WR get doubled. Calvin, Brown, Julio, Hopkins, Thomas, Hill...they're all doubled.
8 years into their career Chad Johnson has had the better career (for their era) and hasn't even sniffed the Hall.
Sweetness, The Bengals fans are not delusional or blind fandom over AJ Green.
He should've made the All Decade team for God's sake and would've if not for his toe injury Week 9 in 2018!!! He was having another great year as you even proclaimed too.
Even sitting out last year, he would've made it.
So, AJ went to 7 STRAIGHT PRO BOWLS and you're calling we fans Blind over fandom?!?
Quick Bio: (Please read the part in BOLD where is says "The ONLY WR")
"His Streak of seven consecutive Pro Bowl nominations to begin career ended in 2018, as he was not selected, but AJ still stands as the only NFL WR since the 1970 merger to start his career with seven consecutive Pro Bowl nominations ...
Seven Pro Bowl selections are third in team history behind DT Geno Atkins (eight) and HOF OT Anthony Munoz (11) ...
Has (33) 100-yard receiving games, most in Bengals history, and his (10) career games with at least 150 yards and one TD are the most among active players entering 2019.
Enters 2020 ranked second in team history in career receptions (602) and receiving yards (8907), and tied for second in receiving TDs (63);
Chad Johnson, who played 10 Bengals seasons, is first in all three categories — 751 catches, 10,783 yards and 66 receiving TDs "
Chad never went to 5 straight playoffs or went to 7 straight Pro Bowls.
In 3 years, AJ will easily surpass Chad in all 3 categories. TDs fall this year of course. 2 years for the catches, and 3 years for the yardage.
My forecast for AJ will be that he makes it to 12K yards minimum, with or without him staying a Bengal.
If they aren't good enough to make the playoffs in the next few years, I'd hope they trade him to a team who can make the SB and he can win one to Lock him into the HOF.
