are you related to Giants99?
Im neutral in this Austin VS. Johnson debate but my opinion is that CJ is the better receiver...idk what it is but he strikes fear in my heart and austin does not. i would also take CJ on my team over austin anyday
What are you going to talk about come playoff time? Last year was the first time the Cowboys made it to the 2nd round with Romo... Meaningless huh? 1 more loss and your HC is fired, but I guess September games are meaningless...Quote:

He doesn't have that killer instinct the Moss or Andre have. IMO, he's a little bit soft.
Don't get me wrong, i'd take him on my team anyday, but to say Calvin is an elite WR in the league right now just isn't true. Sure, he may have more talent then all of them, but it hasn't traslated to the field, yet.
actually, austin doesnt face many double teams. its been talked about to death in the other thread, but miles gets more one on one matchups than any other #1 WR in the league IMOQuote:

He isn't the first WR to see a double team. He isn't the first WR to get bumped at the line of scrimmage. He's faster, stronger, and more talented then every CB he lines up against, but he doesn't put up big numbers. I think CJ can potentially be a great WR in the NFL, but right now he isn't. He's a superior talent, but he hasn't put it together on a week to week basis.Quote:

Skills don't always translate. Sure he is a top 10 WR, but top 3? no way
No. I'm not like that usually- I usually love stats. But CJ is amazing- already a clear future hall of famer- barring injuries of course.Quote:

Everyone knows CJ has the talent, but he should be screaming for the ball on a constant basis because he has the talent to take it to the house when it's in his hands. He seems like a really good dude, but on the field he needs to turn into an absolute animal and destroy the man in front of him. He just doesn't have that killer instinct yet.Quote:

I guess you can question his demeanor (in the sense that he needs to demand the ball), but the whole offense is based around him and he gets all of the targets anyways. It's just that the offense has never been able to move the ball, and he just doesn't have any opportunities.
Andre Johnson is number 1.Quote:
