Falcons: Today should erase all doubts as to why we gave up so much for Julio.

Kid is a beast all there is, I just wish they would get it where Ryan, doesn't concentrate on one. Today JJ was it, but hes got ot spread it around. The whole thing Pick your poison is where they going to go after. I loved todays game. but at the same time they need to spread like to HD and others. I like JJ though

Ryan didn't have many completions, but 6 receivers caught at least one pass from him today. That's spreading it around...

Guido are you saying he hasn't had good yardage in supposed good defenses? When will we see this defense you refer to? The guy is proving his worth. We need both him and Roddy to start firing. Having both of them tee off would make it so much better for tony, Hd and turner and quizz.

Combine that with the fact our D never let other team sniff even a FG, I'm feeling much better about the trade. Our OL is our only real weakness.

Once again, full disclosure, I had Julio going on my fantasy team. I loved it, too. But, wait to crown him until he plays a team actually fielding a defense.

He has played extremely well in every game he's been in this season, the win-loss column just doesn't collaborate with it.

And it's kinda starting to gel a little. Svitek is playing well, maybe Baker can play RG or just give us some experienced depth at Tackle

You mean like the Rams?

They sure are 1-6 tough...

No, he may be the real deal, but he'll not get 130 yards and two TD's on two catches against a legit team. Hell, even Jerry Rice wouldn't do that.

He finally managed to find the end zone on a couple of walk ins. I'd like to see him do it as advertised in traffic against a real defense. He may end up being the greatest ever. Who knows? But all I am saying is temper expectations based upon the disaster known as the Colts.

No, he doesn't face the Rams. But, he did it against a team so bad that they gave up 62 points to the crappy Saints, right?

Well dude, I don't know how many WRs in NFL history have had three 100 yard games in their first 6 games, but that is what Julio has done. I would imagine it is a pretty short list.

I am going to go ahead and be excited about him, but I'll give your warnings their proper weight. Very little.
