The Jags are technically the better team and it's not like I dont think they can do a little something but right now if I had to chose between them and Chargers I think i'm leaning towards being more afraid of the Chargers tbh.

Chargers could be getting hot at the right time, but I'm still taking my Jags over them. I think we can beat anyone but NE.
 
After seeing the Pitt defense struggle so much with the BALTIMORE offense, how am I to believe they can stop the NE offense?

Brady is going to walk thru the AFC and waiting for him could be Case Keenum, Goff, Foles, Dak. :lol: :smh:

Hopefully, Rodgers, or Ryan, or Russ, or Cam can make a run at least and try to make it interesting.

All it takes is one injury my guy. Not wishing it either

we all know you just got to get pressure on brady and you got a shot. ill take ne but i think the jags can make it tough on them. sd might be able to do that to. i dont believe in pitt at all tho
 
Too early to be smoking meth. AB is good but top 3 you need to stop it! Rice, Owens, and Moss got those locked right now. He still needs to get past Harrison, Wayne, Tim Brown, Fitzgerald, Bruce, C Carter, Andre Johnson, and Steve Smith.
You're being a prisoner of the moment. Let's have him get to a super bowl before placing him among the greats.
Too early for you to have some reading comprehension. You named me 11 receivers, so I don't think it's farfetched to have him around the top 10 already. I never said he was top 3, I said "at this rate" he could propel himself to that level and I don't think it's a stretch to say that at all. Already up to 1500 yds and 9 tds in 13 games this year (would be better than this 1800 yd season), and he could conceivably get 1200+ for the next 3-5 years pending injuries/health.

Btw, AJ80 is one of my fav players of all time and it's ironic you mention him when you talk about SB being a factor in determining AB84's greatness. You do have a point about "prisoner of the moment," but I felt like it was a topic worthy of discussion as he has actually has a case for MVP, which many other WRs didn't really have a case for when they played (despite their gaudy numbers).
 
i'm a steelers fan so i know i have some bias, but i've been arguing about how ab's the best receiver in the league since we traded mike wallace and AB got to be the man. for 2 years before that, he was already the go to guy on all big third downs i felt like and that's when i really knew he was gonna be great. 2013 is the first year he played as the #1 wr and he had a solid year. finished #2 in yards. during that season, i started making my case for how he's the best wr in the league and was obviously laughed at and called a troll every time i argued how he was better than dez and everyone else since he seemingly came out of nowhere for non-steelers fans. i stuck by it and the arguments still existed for a couple of years, but now it's not really a debate anymore. he's clearly the #1 wr in the league.

that all being said, it'll come down to longevity. wr's start to decline around 29 (see dez for a perfect example of someone diving off a cliff) and he's 29 now, but seemingly better than ever. if he can last as long as fitzgerald, he'll definitely end up being ranked top 2 or 3. jerry is the ghost he's chasing, but it'll take an incredible career to make it that far. plus, with ben retiring in the near future, we'll see how he does with his next qb. jerry got the benefit of playing with montana and then steve young. hopefully ab gets equally lucky.

i've just been wishing he'd break 2000 yards in a season. he definitely would have shattered that in 2015 if ben didn't get hurt and we didn't have sorry as vick replace him for a few games before he eventually got benched. he finished with 1834 that year, but he's on pace to get a little more than that this season if he keeps up this late season surge.
I've personally felt like he's been the best WR in the league since 2015. WR talent has been pretty amazing in these past ~5 years but I legitimately think he's on another level than dudes like Julio, Nuk, OBJ, Green, etc.... and those guys are unreal in their own respective right. What separates AB84 from other WRs is his clutch ability IMO. He comes through SO many times. Sure, Big Ben has made some great throws in those drives, but I really credit AB84 for like 5 game winning drives this year. The things he did against the Packers in crunch time :sick:, Browns week 1 - catch when Ben threw it up into 3 defenders :sick:, etc...

In this past decade, maybe only Larry Legend has made more clutch receptions. I really hope he avoids injuries because at this rate, I really do think he has a chance to end up as one of the GOATs.
 
Haven't watched much ******** this year but I remember people in here saying Norman has been getting torched this year right? I remember Thielen and Diggs worked him. Anyways...

Tired of failed expectations? :lol:

That's what the Skins do. Sign big names and fail. He better get used to it.
 
im listening to McCarthy conference now. Said there's a number of scans. The team doctor McKenzie is currently in evaluation process and is in contact with a number of specialists to get their opinions. Seems like we could get the answer tonight.
 
Giants lead the league in drops, we're at 40 right now. I hope we hit 50 before the season is over.
