| Gil Brandt: I prefer Julio Jones over Calvin Johnson (Posted on 2/1/13 at 6:22 am)
quote:
"I think some people like strawberry ice cream and some people like vanilla. They're both pretty good," Brandt explained Wednesday on SiriusXM NFL Radio. "Some like red heads and some like blondes. I think if you took 10 people, probably six of the 10 would take Johnson, and four, including myself, would take Julio Jones. I just think the whole package, I like Julio a little bit better than Johnson."
Asked to defend his opinion on the heels of Johnson breaking Rice's single-season record for receiving yards, Brandt cited Jones' stronger, more reliable hands in addition to his fluidity.
"I think you have to say things when you feel that way," added Brandt. "I'm not saying Calvin Johnson is not a good player. You're asking me if I would rather have Don Shula or Tom Landry as my coach. You're not going to go wrong with either one, but you can only have one."

I like A J Green over Julio any day. I would take Calvin over both.

I now know Gil Brandt is an idiot. If Julio had a real qb he would be a lot closer to megatron.

Gil Brandt also said the Cowboys should get rid of Romo.
I mean I rip on Romo as much as the next guy, but the Cowboys don't have anyone lined up that's better than him.

I find it hard to believe that 4/10 people would take Julio over Megatron.

I think it's CJ then Julio. Julio is the second best receiver in the league IMO
I think Julio is a stud but would take CJ over him still.

I love Julio, but he isn't in the same class with Megatron. No one is.
