That being said - TO made my jaw drop.

No kidding, TO is like half linebacker, lol.

Not ever gonna take away anything from Terence Mathis, but Roddy has taken his game to the next level.

Roddy is no beast...dude is a monster.

He's on his way no doubt. This will be his 4th 1,000 yard season in a row. The first Falcon to do that, and tie him with Mathis and Rison for the only other receivers with 4 1,000 yard seasons.

Short of Roddy spontaneously combusting, I think he is a shoe in as best Falcon WR ever. Imagine what he gets done in the next 5 years.

He's on pace right now for the 5th most receiving yards in a season in NFL history(1,707)

If his numbers remain consistent, he has a shot to crack the top 150 all-time in receiving yardage this season. Another great season next year and he can crack the top 100. Seeing as how this is only year 6 for him, that's saying something.

I don't usually get too homerish (no homer), but seriously, who is better than Roddy?

This is Roddy's 2nd 200+ yard game!

For perspective, here's the number of 200+ yard games from other players:

Calvin Johnson: 0
Larry Fitzgerald: 0
Andre Johnson: 1
Reggie Wayne: 0

Calvin Johnson has about 450 yards so far, and under 1,000 yards last year.
Fitz has about 300 yards on the year, and under 1100 last year.
Andre has almost 500 yards (wow, last 3 years is averaging just under 100 yards/game) and 1570 (OMG) yards last year.
Waynehas about 600 yards, and 1264 last year.

Roddy has almost 750 yards through 6 games, and about 1,150 yards last year.

Roddy has been consistently awesome, is leading all receivers by about 40 yards (2nd is Brandon Lloyd), while being 150 yards above Wayne, and about 200 more yards than Owens and Santana Moss.

If Roddy isn't the best WR in the league right now, he is a CLOSE 2nd to Andre Johnson. No one else has been as good or consistent. I'm even more impressed that Roddy has had such great hands this year. If he keeps up this pace, dude IS a hall of famer.

the reason why Roddy is not the best WR now is simple....he has a funny shaped head.....

that is all I could come up with

If...

He had dreads he would be the best EVA...

I started a similar thread on TATF during the off-season, with mixed reactions. At the rate he was going, he was going to hold every record in 4 years or so. Based on his play this year, if he keeps this level of production for 4+ years, we'll have to talk HOF.

Co-sign.

[monoxide]

why Andre is better than Roddy: Andre is a 99 on Madden, Roddy is a mere 95. End of argument.
