I like Gil Brandt, and you have to understand he's one of those positive thinking guys that sees the upside in players moreso than the downside.

If you listen to him long enough, and I have listened to him for years now, you can read between the lines. Tepid enthusiasm toward a certain player translates to "this guy friggin sucks".

He's also dead-on right 95% of the time with his comments.

Ok, I know you like to argue for argument's sake sometimes, so what are you saying? Jones IS better than Calvin?

No, I think its a little far fatched, but not by much. Julio is a freak and will only get better. I'm pulling for him, he's one of my favorite non-Saints and I hope someday he leaves the Falcons for a different team.

Oh, just wanted to clarify,

... and that's kind of where I'm at in the debate. Jones may be the better receiver one day, the potential is certainly there & he's one to watch, just not today. Gotta' put his time in.
