I think it’s clear, in recent history, Julio Jones is the best wide out the SEC has produced. AJ Green is right up there. Who’s next? There are a lot of good candidates.

Cooper?
OBJ?
Evans?
Jeffery?

This tweet from NFL research got me pondering.

quote:

Is Mike Evans the best receiver in #Buccaneers history?

Already has most rec yds in team history (5,907 and counting).

Just set new career high in rec yds for a season (1,328 and counting)

Just became 1st player in @Buccaneers history with multiple seasons of 1,300+ rec yds.

Jeffery.

Completely unbiased opinion.

Because this guy is:

OP mentioned recent and I’m not so sure that’s who that guy I was responding to was referring too.

Id love to see how well Odell does with a decent qb. Eli isn't the worst but he surely isn't good, and Odell is still having a pretty good year.

Gotta be a tough one for a lot of LSU fans on the Rant. Their love for LSU is often times offset by their hatred for gays and OBJ is that happy medium of both.

Odell’s biggest problem is that the Giants have refused to invest in OL to give any QB time. Passing on Tunsil to draft Eli Apple is haunting them

Imagine OBJ with the Saints. I shouldn’t even think about it.

Yep, I did blame it on Eli but the Giants in whole have huge problems. And he just recently signed a contract so unless they trade him, he ain't goin anywhere

We wouldn’t have drafted Thomas if we had OBJ.

Of course this guy says no. He probably wants to ignore how Julio has owned PP7 even in NFL (and I think PP7 is phenomenal as a player and, by all accounts, as a person.)

Let's look at Julio's accomplishments:
* 5X Pro Bowler (will be 6X after this year)
* 2X All Pro (will be 3X after thsi year)
* Fastest player in NFL history to 9,000 Rec Yds
* Fastest player in NFL history to 10,000 Rec Yds
* Highest YPG of any WR in NFL history (22 YPG more than Jerry Rice)
* 3 games of 250+ Rec Yds (no other WR has more than 1)
* Has 171 catches of 20+ yards in his career
* Has 485 career catches that resulted in 1st down
* One of only 5 players in NFL history with 3 seasons of 1,500+ Rec Yds

But yeah. You think there's a better SEC produced WR.

But we didn’t and we did. OBJ may be available soon. You can’t deny that OBJ is a better WR than Thomas, and without Brees.

Yes you can. Thomas is better. Even if OBJ is open to coming here we’re not going to be able to afford both him and Thomas. And Thomas is better so I would rather him.
