If you had to pick between one of the two, who do you go with?

IMO, I'm picking Antonio of the two. Not a slight against Julio, I just think AB is better right now. It's a win-win though.

For those curious about stats:
In 7 seasons:
Antonio Brown
632 receptions
8377 yds
Avg 13.3
Yds/G 82.9
50 TD
Plus 1 KR and 4 PR TDs, and a Passing TD
4 fumbles
Has Todd Haley as an OC.

Julio Jones
In 6 seasons:
497 receptions
7610 yds
Avg 15.3
Yds/G 96.3
40 TD
Doesn't do KR/PR duties.
8 fumbles

I would go Brown as well. Julio is a beast and a match up nightmare, but I think Brown is more dynamic overall.

Brown but only because of Julio's injury history

Julio. He does it all as good as anyone ever has and WITHOUT any drama. The only knock against him is he gets banged up from time to time. Still, Julio.

Healthy Julio all day. Brown only has better stats the past few years, because of Julio's injuries the past few years.

Julio is taller, faster and has better hands than Brown.

Brown plays like Steve Smith in the sense that size or height isn't a problem.

Julio for all of his athleticism, height and speed just doesn't score in the red for whatever reason. I think this year was his most in that area.

I'll take brown, but Julio is still 1b to brown's 1a

It's really kind of mind blowing that he doesn't score more often.

Huh?julio missed 11 games in in '13 with a broken foot.

Better average per catch,better blocker and unlike AB shows up big in the playoffs.

Look at the last 2-3 seasons and they are not that far off. A.B has an admittedly large TD advantage, but Yards/Game goes to Julio each of the last 3 seasons.

If both healthy easily Julio. He is a nightmare for any defense with his strength and speed.

Julio ran a 4.39 40 at the combine with a broken foot.

Brown ran a 4.48 40 time

Jones is a little faster. Could probably run a low 4.3 healthy.

I'll take the big fast guy over the little fast guy every time.

Julio has 4.3 speed, but doesn't have the QB with a big arm like Ben that can actually get the ball down the field.

Julio still has so many explosive plays.

His non diva attitude cost him redzone TDs though. He obviously excels when they go to him in the redzone, but he doesn't command the ball. I wouldn't mind if he became a little more vocal regards to the red area. His skill obviously warrants more attempts.
