His production in the 9 games last year was on course for nearly 1400 yards. That's elite per game production......not decoy work. His catch rate was the highest of his career at 75%. And he would have likely lead the NFL in yards per touch for the second straight season if he had enough touches because he had the NFL leader(Tyreek Hill) beaten by a full yard per! Could he fall off like AJ Green? Maybe........but that speculation is not based on his play.......just his age. So calling him just "above average" is a massive understatement. And overrated is even more absurd. His career numbers are amazing. As a non-fan of the Falcons perhaps you expect him to put up 150 yards per game but the guy has literally lead the NFL in yards receiving per game 3 times. The bar might not be as high as you think it is. If anything, he doesn't get enough credit because he is quiet and plays for a franchise that makes a habit of hiring one bad HC after the next. This. Those that disagree with this either have not watched Julio Jones play in the last couple years or they have no idea what they are looking at when they watch football. 2 1 1
without a drought Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 I believe it needs to be a trade after 6/1 in order to help them cap wise.

He pushes through but he’s hobbled almost every game and constantly is in and out of the game. He was great. Maybe the older dinged up guy is above average now but he can fall off the Father Time cliff at any moment. If he’s getting like 1500 yards a season as a decoy, I can barely imagine his healthy potential 1 1
syhuang Posted May 22, 2021 Posted May 22, 2021 Why Cam Newton could help draw Julio Jones to Patriots From this article, Jones thinks Matt Ryan regresses in deep balls but Jones wants to play with Cam Newton!!! Does him not watch any of Newton's recent deep throws? ===================================================================== "You know who (Jones) really wants to play with? ... He wants to play with Cam Newton. He likes Cam," Holley said, as seen in the video above. "That's the other thing: He thinks (Falcons quarterback) Matt Ryan has lost a little zing on his deep ball." ===================================================================== 2

AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted May 22, 2021 Posted May 22, 2021 On 5/20/2021 at 10:46 AM, BADOLBILZ said: He's had two seasons where he missed a lot of games......his 3rd season and his 10th season........18 total. In the other 8 seasons of his career he has missed a total of 7 games...........and he's put up enormous production..........his 1871 yard season is literally the second highest yardage figure a WR has ever had. So I would say your characterization that he is injured all the time and overrated is without merit. If I had a dollar for every time someone posts about an “injury prone” player without actually having done any fact finding on their conviction ... 😂 1

They drafted Pitts, got Ridley and along with Julio sounds like it would be a explosive offense on paper Because they have no cap space. I heard the other day that they can't sign their rookies at this point
HOUSE Posted May 22, 2021 Posted May 22, 2021 According to FAN radio, this story is a croak of *****. The Patriots have no interest at all

Great player and all that but the guy is injured what seems like weekly. I could see a team like Green Bay wanting him Injured or not he averages about 1500 yards a season. 1
BillsFanThru-N-Thru Posted May 22, 2021 Posted May 22, 2021 So the big talk from the Patriots fan sites is that if they get Julio Jones they have a Super Bowl caliber roster. I know this thread falls kinda under the Julio Jones trade speculation thread but felt it deserved it own under the assumption they feel when they get him they can go to the Super Bowl. They think Cam's year was just a result of coming back from the shoulder surgery, my feelings are Cam is done and that they don't have any QB on the roster that could carry the team if necessary. Here's the link for your viewing "pleasure" https://www.sportscasting.com/the-atlanta-falcons-have-opened-the-door-for-bill-belichick-to-secure-the-missing-piece-of-a-super-bowl-roster/

Mat68 Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 What would do it? 2 2's? I would find a way. Diggs, Jones, Beasley, Sanders. 4 wide lets go. 1

The wont play 4 wide all game either. But man thats an explosive offense. You could argue Buffalo would have the weapons that Tompa Bay and Kc has maybe even better. Go for it. The Bucs and Chiefs are not going away gotta go beat them. Edited May 23, 2021 by Mat68
