Is he our No1? I know AB has been for years, I know he is dbl teamed a lot. But JuJu is on fire..... Good position to be in having 2 Amazing starters.
 
No. He's open a ton because teams have to focus on AB so much. I don't understand how the best WR in the league wouldn't be considered a WR1.

He also dropped a sure first down at the end of the first half that most likely would have led to more points. Luckily it didn't cost us in the end but you can't drop that.

With that said, he has to be considered one of the best #2 WRs in the game today but again, some of that is due to teams being so focused on AB.
 
JuJu is still No. 2 without question. Until he can demand the double and triple teams and still thrive, then he can be in the No. 1 conversation. AB is still putting up some numbers and getting double covered and Ben still seems to keep missing him. There was a back shoulder attempt today and the ball was about a yard too far outside for him to make the catch otherwise he would have had 2 TD's today. And, I believe AB already has as many TD's as he did all of last year.
 
If we had a deep threat #3 WR, Brown in my opinion would be doubled far less. Brown sill has amazing quickness, but I'm glad that Ben isn't forcing things his way. That leads to interceptions.

Ju-Ju is not a #2 WR. 1B would be more accurate.
 
I will say, it is really touch to double team and bracket a slot receiver. JuJu is a mismatch, with his size, speed, blocking and ability, he's the new prototype for big, playmaking, slot receiver.
 
Come on now.
 
Its really the best case scenario. AB is scoring TDs every week so he is happy and Juju is racking up yards. And then you have McDonald and Conner out of the backfield. Spread it around and matchup is best.
 
Juju is amazing. We are extremely lucky to have him. I think he will surpass AB is our tom receiver, if he hasn't all ready
 
With how offense is played today, the term No. 1 receiver will soon be outdated.

I think AB has slipped a little. In Haley's offense he was doubled just a much, but got open anyway. Part of the problem is Washington can't catch. He's playing terrible. If we had a good #3 or speed WR at #2, teams could not afford to double AB as much.

Well said, I think AB looks just slightly off and I think all the success JuJu is having gets under AB's skin a bit.
 
I think AB finally realizes stats don't win SB's.....teamwork does. I think he is happy for JuJu. And I never thought I would say that about AB.
 
Brown is still #1 and JuJu is likely 1st team All-Pro.

JuJu could be the true GOAT. Brown's stats for his first two years: 85 catches, 1,275 yds and 2 TD's, JuJu 135 catches, 1,972 yards, 11TD's and 5 games to go.
He could even double Brown's yards in first two seasons. We could be watching a Legend.
 
Watched a post game clip from AB. He clearly was sad about the loss.

I don't think he would intentionally get lazy with a route. The guy wants to win badly.
 
JuJu may become a number one WR at some point. But as others have already pointed out he benefits from Brown getting more attention than he does.

I ******* love that one play where Ben throws to JuJu and he runs the entire length of the field for a TD.

******* love it.

I know we can't read ABs mind and I hope you are truly correct on this.

There is no doubt about AB wanting to win. I just hope he wants to win weather he gets the stats or not. That has been a knock on him but maybe he gets it nowa days.

and he is still learning
 
Whoever compared AB and JuJu's stats.. AB didn't play much his rookie season compared to JuJu taking over by week 3.

So you are saying AB wasn’t good enough to crack the starting line up early? ;)
