I say he didn't live up to the billing of a five star because his stats just don't offer that status to me, but I also want to say that most five star receivers don't.. He meant a lot to the team, but he just didn't showcase as much talent on the field that I knew he had. Calvin Johnson, Demarius Thomas, Michael Crabtree, Marquis Lee, and I could name plenty of others that didn't have great quarterbacks throwing to them, yet they have the stats to back up my argument. Hell, even Amari Cooper has had a better career thus far than Julio based on a statistical prospective. He will be holding all the records before he leaves, especially if he gets a quarterback this year that can get him the ball. I'm going to say it again, I love Julio Jones and he is a physical stud, but his years at Alabama do not put him above AJ McCarron on who belongs on a Mount Rushmore scenario.

And for the guy that said he would take Julio over AJ Green any day, may want to rethink that one. Personally, I don't think you can go wrong, but AJ is way more fluid than the more physical Julio. So I guess it's whomever your team is is who you'll pick there.

[QUOTE="BamaFan334, post: 848538, member: 19550"] I say he didn't live up to the billing of a five star because his stats just don't offer that status to me, but I also want to say that most five star receivers don't..
