Who is the best/most unstoppable Receiver in the NFL right now?

[GamblerSpirit]

Calvin but aj green looks like the next one up
He's skinny but yet dominating already

[ebbearsfb1]

Underrated on what grounds? Given he has been hurt the last two weeks, he hasn't eclipsed a single 100 yd receiving game this year and only has 1 TD. While he did have a decent sophomore year in yards...a little of a 1100, he only was able to find the end zone two times. That is 3 TD's YTD in his career .

well his rookie year he barely played until the playoffs..


from what he brings to the offense as a whole from watching the steelers every game,

to see how they've looked with him out before ben was hurt.

brown makes every player around him better.cant just go off stats all the time

sure he doesnt have the super star stats but as a 6th round pick and the steelers also have other weapons around him .. he is closer to an underrated performer than overrated

then again in the world of fantasy sports if you dont have stats your useless

[Cuse0323]

On talent alone and not stats, toss up between Marshall and Fitz IMO.

[jaygalindo]

If it weren't for bellicheck running up the score then you have to go with Robert gronkowski. Followed by golden Tate and Sydney rice

[opie1988]

Dez Bryant

Dez Bryant

All the talent in the world, but he can't put it on the field on a consistent basis.

Yep. He's pretty much a dipshit thus far.

[Goat Milk]

Calvin Johnson.

AJ green?

Typical SBR knee jerk reactions

Putting Green on the same level as Johnson and Fitzgerald is simply ludacris. Two guaranteed first ballot hall of famers while Green hasn't done shit yet in his career.

[romecloneout]

Lebron James...would be best wr in league right now

[Bengals28]

That makes no sense because based purely off talent Megatron is undoubtedly the best.

[Bengals28]

Calvin Johnson.

We're not talking about careers asshat.

This season Green has been the best.

[adila1401]

Agree on Green..Julio Jones is also a nightmare when he is targeted, can't be covered and if he gets a crease, he is gone..

[Deol]

Have you watched Green? He's easily progressing into a first ballot hall of famer. It's not knee-jerk reactions, its people who watch the game and can assess talent. His only flaw is he hasn't been in the league long enough for ppl like youself to take him seriously.

Deol and Bengals,

Calvin is having a bad year by his standards and still number 1 in yards in the league.

Stafford threw for over 5,000 yards last year, something only done a few times by qbs in nfl history. You think that was Stafford being a top 5 qb? No, it was all Johnson. Johnson gets doubled teamed literally every game. Ask any defensive coordinator who the best wide out in football is and none of them will say AJ Green over Calvin Johnson I'll guarantee that. Let me know if I'm wrong and I'll be glad to admit it.

Green is great but come on, he is not Calvin Johnson not really anyone close imo except Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson a couple years back (when he was in his prime and fully healthy).

[Cuse0323]

Yeah him too.

[beermankirk]

Golden Tate, even the refs couldn't stop him in Seattle!

Too many factors at play here, CIN plays in a tougher (pass) defensive division with BAL and PIT. DET hasn't had a good running game in years hence they are pass happy team which inflates Staffords stats. Also the fact they repeatedly came back last year to win games in the 4th means they were trailing a lot which leads to teams passing more for obvious reasons. Calvin Johnson is definitely a beast and could be considered the best WR, but you made it sound like AJ Green isn't even in the conversation which makes you WRONG!!

[McBa1n]

This is a tough one.
This season? AJ Green - hands down.
There are only 2 other receivers in his category - 1 has crap hands and 1 isn't very fast (Megatron, Fitzgerald).

As far as 'high end' goes, Megatron can be the best to ever play the position - but his concentration lacks... And it's showing a LOT more when you watch the tape on him. The guy gets INCREDIBLE separation vs DBs more-so as a route runner than ANY WR I've ever seen (Moss could've been the best - but his technique is poor and always has been). Jerry Rice ran incredible routes and his technique was FLAWLESS, but if Megatron runs that same route - he's got 2 more feet of separation due to his frame. I am not sure if he's slower now, or just isn't going for it as he should, but he has flaws. Just sayin Megatron's upside is better than ANY receiver we've seen.

AJ Green is probably more suited for the position as 'best' - he's not that bulky, is incredible in the air (not as good as Megatron, though) - his 'high end' is still incredible. He reminds me of Randy Moss when he was young - but has WAY more technique. He has every tool to be 'the best' ever.

Fitzgerald is an amazingly good receiver - but he lacks speed. He can burn when he gets it going, but his 'open field' speed/acceleration is not exceptional by any stretch. His technique is VERY good (debatable about his technique - vs other guys that won't even get into the HOF) - it's still strong. His size is his biggest asset and his commitment to being amazing is noteable.

I figure if I had to take one guy, today... Ugh, toss a coin between AJ Green or Megatron. Can't really go wrong. Both have things that you REALLY want in a receiver. I think Megatron is better going up and getting a ball - but if you throw a tough pass - Green is the superior player with SICK field awareness. Fitz really has never been part of the argument, IMO - he's way over-hyped compared to these 2 fellows in their prime. We're watching 2 guys today that can be better than Jerry Rice over a career. It likely ain't gonna happen - but both Green and Calvin J can be that guy. I just can't choose... I've seen enough tape on both. They both have flaws and both can do things better than anyone else. Unlike Jerry Rice, for his day, did everything and made it easy to figure out who 'that guy' is (although, if Sterling Sharpe was healthy, he'd be in the debate for best of that era - and to me, stats don't mean crap).

[k13]

Put them on the Browns and see how well they do.

[BigDeem5]

Brandon Marshall.

[SmittyZ28]

Skills: Fitz, Megatron, Marshall

Impact on game/moving the chains: No on better in the business than Welker, cannot believe people list out as far as top 6 and no Welker? How many times does he need to lead the league in catches and yardage to get some love?

[SmittyZ28]

If it weren't for bellicheck running up the score then you have to go with Robert gronkowski. Followed by golden Tate and Sydney rice

Gronk is for sure the best TE in the game, but this is a receiver thread. When asked about this thread Gronk had this to say...

[SmittyZ28]

When asked the same question about QB all assumed he would of course say brady, but.....

[mcduggly]

1. Larry Fitzgerald
2. Calvin Johnson
3. AJ Green
4. Brandon Marshall
5. Andre Johnson

[PAULYPOKER]

Eric Decker

[ngates815]

If I had gun to my head...Cecil Shorts.

Totally agree...

[p19101]

Green, not even a close call.

I agree. Kind of reminds me of Wes Welker when he was with Miami.

[mcduggly]

You're right, guys like Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald are NOWHERE near AJ Green. Seriously....?

[detroitlionsfan]

without a doubt aj green

calvin atop tier 2
