Antonio Brown easily the better route runner and has better footwork, and he is also way more versatile of a player

I'm a Falcons fan and in a vacuum, I'd probably take Brown.

Of course, I like JJ and probably wouldn't trade him for Brown because his work ethic and devotion to the Falcons overcomes the negligible gap between the two.

How is he more versatile?Julio can run short,intermediate and long routes equally well and block.

Im assuming you're referring to his punt reurning duties.

Julio is faster (a full second in the 40), bigger (not exactly sure how much but has to be half a foot taller and more muscular), has drastically improved his route running to almost be on par with Brown, and almost has as good of hands. Brown doesn't get hurt as much but I would bet he doesn't take the same punishment. Julio is also a much better blocker. Julius playoff stats are a lot better and they both get explosive plays a lot. Really just depends what you want out of your number 1. I wouldn't trade Julio for Brown.

Pretty sure you meant 1/10 of a second.

I would take Brown just for consistency. If health were guaranteed, Julio all day every day.

Antonio Brown also offers you an elite punt returner, so I'll go with him.

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


Brown would've set the NFL record with 5 straight 100 yard playoff games if he would e got 100 vs. the Pats.

But please keep posting this bullshite.

The only knock against him is he gets banged up from time to time. Still, Julio.



That's a BIG knock.

I'd take Brown because of this. Julio is awfully injury prone and you don't mess with feet. That could seriously jeopardize the length of his career.

If they are both healthy, I go JJ.

You can't just ignore JJ's health issues tho and for that reason I think you have to pick AB overall.

Pretty cool stat.

Julio is the only player in NFL history to have 180 receiving yards and at least 2 touchdowns in 2 NFC Championship games.

When he's healthy, he is a nightmare.

"Would've"

He didn't did he?Oh,and its not like it was an important game or anything.

Hasn't come close to Julio's numbers in conference champioship games.Oh,and his only 2 playoff TD's were against miami 2 weeks ago.
