#2? AB played in 9 games his rookie year and accumulated a whopping 16 receptions. He was behind Wallace, Hines, and Manny Sanders. Second season he finally emerged as the #2 behind Wallace but didn’t overtake the top spot until his fourth season after Wallace left in free agency.

Yeah I remember there was discussion on who to give big money to...Wallace or AB.

Was just about to post this. Juju clearly needs to play better, but he's still a #1.

Yea, he's a high-level #2.

Oddly enough. It’s interesting to see how some #2 guys can put up “#1 numbers” in a lesser role but have a hard time when the best guys and double teams are on them.

Wallace and Brown
JJ Nelson and that other guy that had a beard and caught deep balls

I don’t have any other examples

Well, I think last year, even when AB wasn't on the field, JuJu was producing at a #1 rate. Which was essentially fools gold. He mostly benefited from AB getting all the focus anyways.

When I say "high-level #2" I mean, he needs help on the other side of the field to help his numbers too. The emergence of Johnson, seems like it will doubly benefit JuJu as well.

I think Juju would be fine if he had 2018 Ben throwing to him

Maybe, but doesn't that kind of lend to him needing someone to help him along? If he's a #1, he shouldn't be having these issues every game where he can't separate, or get open. That's also potentially a symptom of him just needing to work at it more. I don't take my comment as negative to him, just that there might be more to learn.

This should be a given for nearly all NFL WRs, IMO.

right...and I'm saying he's a high-level #2, that can learn to be #1 lol. I don't think he's a catalyst for an offense yet, like AB could have been, or even partially to what AB could have been.

In fairness, you didn't have that qualifier in your original post.

Can we go back to the block numbers full time now?

To me, the sans-serif numbers are akin to Three Rivers having artificial turf. It just doesn't really fit.

I am not opposed to the current uniforms but yes the block is superior

The current ones are a 9/10 in the ulf jersey rankings and the block numbers are around a 9.4.

I always see Rod Woodson when I see the block numbers. Not a bad thing

Three Rivers having artificial turf. It just doesn't really fit.

the tifosi NFL-related take machine is undefeated (at making very bad takes)

So you liked the fact that 3R had turf?

I wrote a report in middle school on the effects of turf toe. /csb

Not exactly turf toe but I had my big toenail catch and pull back playing indoor soccer. /csb

I believe he's saying your take on block numbers looking out of place is subpar

That's not what I'm saying, tho. I'm saying the non-block (sans-serif) numbers look out of place.

And he quoted the bit about turf, not the numbers.

Switzer ruled out for the game tomorrow.

Darn

Saw yesterday he didn't practice because "Back."

Is that as in "He ran back and lost a few yards thereby allowing the Rams to get a safety?"

I think it is a back injury due to lack of a spine.
