    So because we don't agree with you, we're unintelligent? Nice logic. It's still up in the air as to who the best receiver is... it's really 1a. and 1b. with AJ and CJ.

    Been a huge fan of Calvin Johnson since he was a freshman at GT.
    And while his route running is nowhere near as polished as AJ80,
    Megatron more than makes up for it by making bad quarterbacks look
    decent with circus catches like:

    Yards per catch goes in order C, A, B, D.

    Player A is 5'9
    Player B is 6'3
    Player C is 6'3
    Player D is 6'5

    First 4 games this season to me there's no doubt that Player A is tops in the league.

    Welker has been the most productive.
    Andre has been the most consistent, until he got hurt yesterday
    I assume this is Fitz? Solid, but behind everyone else
    Calvin looks like the best player

    According to the MNF bros, Welker was 2nd in the league last year in dropped passes. Figured he was more sure handed than that. Especially since most of his catches aren't down the field.

    Why is he even mentioned in this thread? Does not belong.

    There's some looney toon running around claiming WW is the best receiver in the NFL.

    Hes definitely elite if he keeps near this pace up for the rest of the year it will be hard not to say hes the best.

    Welke is system receiver. Plus he is a slot receiver. It is hard tp say he is anywhere near the best when he never faces elite CBs (because he is in the slot).

    Credit to Welker, he works his butt off and gets every ounce out of his ability, but anybody who says he's the best in the NFL needs to be slapped upside the head with a case of raider rash. He's good for where he is and what he is, but if you take him out of the slot in New England, he's Danny Amendola at best or David Anderson at worst.

    Love AJ, but his body is starting to break down, Calvin Johnson is younger and healthier, I would go with him first and AJ second.

    I was telling people on here a year or two ago if CJ had a good QB he would put up monster type numbers, four games 8 TDs.

    The big knock on AJ, like Ric has always said is his lack of touchdowns. Ric was right.

    I personally think Megatron is the best WR in NFL with Andre Close 1b, then Fitz.

    The thing I do not understand is why does he not get more TD's, AJ body is pretty much build the same way as CJ.
