C Ridley a bust?

[CATCH17]

That was a piss poor performance last night. Matty Ice was pathetic. Dak is clearly better than he is.

He had 5 chances to score from the 10 and Julio and couldn't get it done. And don't get me started on his time management skills.

Matt Ryan is so overrated.

He doesn't have Shannahan anymore and he looks like the middle of the road QB that he is. He's good but he's closer to Alex Smith then he is Tom Brady.

Just more proof how much playcalling matters.

 

[Rockport]

I will say this, Julio Jones was a one man show last night. He was their whole team.

Didn’t get them very far.

 

[Rockport]

It's been one game. One.

It only takes 1 play for yahoo’s here to call someone a bust.

 

[mattjames2010]

eating dinner last night saw thing flash on ESPN, the WR god Jones was targeted 18 times last year in Redzone and had only had 1 catch...

He's overrated mainly because of this.

People can say what they want about Dez, Dez knew how to make plays in the red zone.

 

[mattjames2010]

I will say this, Julio Jones was a one man show last night. He was their whole team.

Until they get inside the red zone then he disappears or can't catch anything thrown to him. Went 1 out of 18 last year in the red zone, he's like 0-5 to start the 2018 season.

 

[Ring6]

too early

 

[Rayman70]

Same here. He had a great night that could have been a monster night. Got jobbed out of a 50-yard catch on a blown call and then nearly had the game-winning touchdown. Still a great night though.

THE REFS helped the iggles greatly. That was a catch.

 

[Stash]

Didn’t get them very far.

Didn't win the game obviously but from what I saw he was the only reason they were in it.

No doubt.

Sarkisian has taken this stacked Super Bowl team and turned it into garbage. That’s the problem.

Well, if Matt Ryan threw last year like he did last night, that might explain why.

Yep
Curious to see what Shanny does for Jimmy G in SF after a year or two.

 

[mattjames2010]

Well, if Matt Ryan threw last year like he did last night, that might explain why.

Matt Ryan his best year where he threw for 38 TDs, Julio Jones still only had 6 TDs with 83 catches.

Compare this to everyone's punching bag Dez Bryant, 2014 he had 88 catches and 16 TDs. 2013 93 catches and 13 TDs. 2012 92 catches and 12 TDs. Even in 2016 and 2017 with far fewer catches, he had 8 TDs and 6 TDs.

Julio Jones is an overrated player that puts up flashy numbers but doesn't catch passes where it matters.

He didn't look nearly as good as Alex Smith last night. Let's not disparage Alex Smith like that.

Dez is only good at being a punching bag, because he's no good as a player.

Pretty much everyone has agreed for years that Julio is the best or 2nd best WR.

Well he and Dez have been very comparable and Julio has been in a better situation.

Julio is great but so is Dez.

For some reason though the NFL hates Dez. I don't get it. He's got an awful perception for some reason.

 

[mattjames2010]

Dez is only good at being a punching bag, because he's no good as a player.

He may no longer be good, but he was one of the best in the league even if it was only short lived.

Give me a WR that will give me double digit TDs over someone like Jones. Julio Jones will not win you football games (even someone like a prime Dez doesn't)

He always is. Best WR in the NFL by a long shot.
