Positives from today's game

Only difference I see is the speed... which is overrated. If Colston was force fed and targeted 10+ times a game like Fitz, there numbers would practically be identical imo. Remember Fitz hasn't exactly been surrounded by hags his whole career. He's had Warner, Boldin, and Breaston flanking him for quite a while.

Speed kills

Colston may not get open like Fitzgerald does...after all drew hits the open receiver. Maybe colston just isn't open as often

Fits put up good numbers with 2 pretty good wideouts playin with him. Now he's putting up good numbers with no help

Can't argue w production

I love colston and my authentic colston jersey but fitz is better...no contest

Y'all can have Colston and Fitz; I'll take Graham any day!

He's too big for corners/safeties to cover and too fast for linebackers...

I do agree that Fitz is a better receiver... but as I suggested, I feel a lot of it has to do with opportunity. He does have better production and as long as Colston is wearing black and gold in the well oiled machine we have, we'll just never know how good he could have been.
