What would stop JJ from keeping it up? You can't possibly have doubts about the talent and physical tools he has displayed. So, what makes you skeptical? His attitude? Work ethic? If so, you simply don't know Julio.

Face it, JJ's arrow is pointing nowhere but straight up. I can see why you don't want to face the harsh reality that your team now has to deal with this guy two times per year.

The only receiver I see in the league that rivals Julio in terms of physical talent is Megatron. Andre Johnson is close, but Julio is faster than either. And I think Julio's work ethic is better than Calvin Johnson's.

We are going to have a lot of fun watching this kid for the next few years. I forsee a lot of first round Corners getting drafted by our NFC South Rivals.

I'm honestly worried about the regression of Roddy White.

I'm with you regarding Roddy.

As long as people stop it with actually trying to blame it on the acquistion of Julio. Roddy's problem has always been just that, Roddy's problem.

Personally, I think he needs to go see a sports psychiatrist. Or his mama. Again.

"TOUCHDOWN! MY GOD, A TOUCHDOWN! WE THREW IT TO HAYNES! WE JUST STUFFED THEM WITH FIVE SECONDS LEFT! MY GOD ALMIGHTY, DID YOU SEE WHAT HE DID? DAVID GREENE JUST STRAIGHTENED UP AND WE SNUCK THE FULLBACK OVER! … WE JUST STEPPED ON THEIR FACE WITH A HOBNAILED BOOT AND BROKE THEIR NOSE! WE JUST CRUSHED THEIR FACE!" - Larry Munson broadcast UGA vs Tenn, 2001

Rest In Peace, Larry. You will be missed.
GO DAWGS! HUNKER DOWN!

Roddy isn't regressing just had a bad start
This is what happens when you have another top shelf receiver on your team. He had a pretty good game on Sunday too. He's still one of the best. He's not going to catch 115 balls again but he will be back around his average of 85-1100-8 which is pretty good.

There is a slight chance that we could have 3 1000 yard receivers this year and a 1000 yard back. We'll see what Ryan does down the stretch.

Right now he's on pace for 86 catches, 1,002 yards, and 6 TDs. I'd like to see his YPC improve, being at a paltry 11.7 YPC. I think that we see it improve down the stretch.

Yea, his YPC is what worries me the most. Yes, he's dropped balls, and yes he's pulled some stupid penalties, but I believe now that we are actually clicking on offense that he will only improve.

You gotta think, in the preseason it was Matts goal to trying and force JJ to get his first catch. Now he's got his first TD too, so there isn't anything to try and force on him now. I don't know if Ryan felt obligated or something, but as we all saw, Ryan's composure changed for the better in the 2nd half.

We should just be able to get into a good rhythm now. If we pull out a win against NO, then we are only pointing up from there.

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.

Walk-ins??? Julio made a circus catch on the first one and flat out ran their secondary on the second. Walk-ins??

Don't even try to put a damper on this one. LOL
