"Josh Norman has not seen a guy on Julio Jones's level"

The general consensus among pregame shows is that Jones is the best receiver in the NFL (I disagree, but admit that he is pretty damned good). Harrison even calls him the leagues #1 receiver. If that is the case, the logic would dictate that it would be impossible  for Norman to face anyone on his level.

The more important fact is this...Julio Jones has not faced a CB on Josh Norman's level!

Fug Rodney Harrison!

heh, the point of this thread is that Norman has faced Jones numerous times.

And of course if you have a Julio Jones, who leads the league in receptions, you're not gonna be on a 5 game losing streak. Just like if your leading WR is tied for 81st in receptions there's no way you'll be 12-0.

Last Dec. those 4 receptions Jones had were crucial to their successful passing game of 260 yards (and a total of 3 points), while our total receptions (10) contributed to our poor performance in the passing game and a disappointing 34 points.

So stat wise, it's clear that having the best receiver in the game means everything when it comes to a successful season.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
