Julio Jones makes Matt Ryan look a lot better than he actually is. JJ is the type of player that displaces defenses. You remove him from their offense, and I think Matt Ryan would literally trend toward the bottom of the list of NFL QBs. Matt Ryan is the most overrated player to ever play the game, and the reason he gets away with the most god awful talent appraisal I've ever seen is because of Julio Jones.

I get it, you love Julia Jones, to the point that you are rationalizing that Matt Ryan is a bad QB... Ryan did make it into a Pro-Bowl with 3700 yards and 28 TDs before Julio Jones was ever drafted. You say that Julio Jones has a better long game than Michael Thomas, I say Matt Ryan has a longer arm than Brees. Julio might be big to his advantage and relies on his power but he does not cut or evade like Thomas and certainly doesn't catch as many passes thrown his way..

Do not get me wrong, I am no fan of Matt Ryan and Julio Jones for all intentional purposes performs at a level that is nearly tied with Michael Thomas for best WR in the league. But its not completely apples to apples either, they are different receivers with different QBs.

You can have Julio, I will take Thomas as my #1 all day, every day.

I don't love Julio Jones, I just think he is incredibly talented. I'm not cheering him on or anything. I wish Michael Thomas was better than him, but he isn't. Michael Thomas is a top 5 receiver, maybe top 3. I've thought Julio was the best receiver in the league for a while, and he still is. I know it's easy to have blinders on as a fan of a particular team. Every base likes to say that their guy is the best, I'm just flat out telling you that MT is not better than Julio Jones. I do however believe that MT goes better with Brees than Julio Jones would. The combination between the two is very synergistic because their skill sets align. But I mean if you are going to ask me the general question of which one is the better overall receiver, the answer seems readily apparent.
