Markus Rendell's blog ::Falcon football overview: Wide receivers










Larry               Fitzgerald               is               still               the               best               wide               receiver               in               the               NFL               because               of               his               athletic               ability,               speed,               playoff               resume,               and               route               running               abilities.

There               are               about               10               "great"               wide               receivers               in               the               NFL               but               only               three               "elite"               receivers.

The               three               elite               receivers               in               the               NFL               are               Fitzgerald,               Calvin               Johnson,               and               Andre               Johnson.

First               let's               dissect               and               compare,               Calvin               Johnson               aka,               "Megatron"               to               Fitzgerald.

Megatron               is               a               great               nickname               because               of               Johnson's               large               stature.

He's               two               inches               and               15               pounds               bigger               than               Fitzgerald.

Recently               he               has               been               putting               up               more               impressive               numbers               than               Fitzgerald,               but               that               doesn't               mean               he's               better.

Fitzgerald's               numbers               have               been               dropping               lately.

He               only               had               798               receiving               yards(1)               last               season               compared               to               Megatron's               1,964(2).

But               The               Detroit               Lions               passed               the               football               last               season               more               than               any               other               team               in               NFL               history,               largely               in               part               due               to               Matthew               Stafford.

Stafford               isn't               an               elite               quarterback               but               he's               still               good               and               that's               who               Megatron               has               throwing               him               the               ball,               about               twenty               times               a               game.

Fitzgerald               on               the               other               hand               has               gone               through               dismal               quarterbacks               since               Kurt               Warner.

Quarterbacks               such               as               Kevin               Kolb,               John               Skelton,               Ryan               Lindley,               Brian               Hoyer,               Derek               Anderson,               Matt               Leinart,               and               Max               Hall.

If               the               quarterbacks               were               switched,               Fitzgerald               would               thrive               (as               he               did               with               Warner)               and               Megatron               would               be               wondering               where               are               his               usual               20               pass               attempts               per               game               that               come               his               way               went.

Megatron               had               122               receptions               last               season,               51               more               than               Fitzgerald.

And               yet               touchdowns               were               about               even               five               to               four.

So               let's               think               about               that               for               a               second.

Even               though               Calvin               Johnson               had               51               more               catches               and               opportunities               to               put               the               ball               into               the               endzone               he               only               scored               one               more               touchdown?

Sorry               that's               just               inexcusable,               especially               in               the               most               "pass               happy"               offense               in               the               entire               NFL.

Fitzgerald               only               had               four               touchdowns,               but               he               went               through               four               different               quarterbacks               last               season               that               couldn't               hit               the               broad               side               of               a               barn.

And,               yes,               I               know               Megatron               had               a               lot               more               yards,               but               yards               don't               win               games,               points               do.

Hence               why               the               Lions               went               4-12.

Then               there's               Andre               Johnson.

He's               every               bit               as               physical               as               Megatron               and               more.

He               doesn't               have               the               hands               as               "sticky               fingers"               Fitzgerald               but               he               doesn't               have               a               dropping               problem               or               any               route               running               issues.

He               also               makes               significantly               less               money               than               both               Fitzgerald               and               Megatron.

However,               Andre               Johnson               is               the               oldest               of               the               three               and               he               has               lost               a               little               bit               of               his               burst               with               the               deep               ball.

Unlike               Fitzgerald               and               Megatron,               Andre               hasn't               found               the               endzone               at               the               same               rate.

Andre               Johnson               has               never               once               recorded               double               digit               touchdowns               in               a               season               (3).

Andre               Jonson               also               benefits               from               a               balanced               attack               with               Arian               Foster               running               the               ball.

The               biggest               factor               that               separates               Fitzgerald               from               everyone               else               is               his               playoff               resume.

In               2008               Fitzgerald               had               the               greatest               postseason               by               a               receiver               ever.

In               four               playoff               games,               Fitzgerald               scored               seven               touchdowns(NFL               playoff               record)               including               two               in               the               Super               Bowl               (4).

He               scored               what               would               have               been               the               Super               Bowl               winning               touchdown               against               the               Steelers               with               a               64               yard               score               with               less               than               three               minutes               to               play.

Megatron               or               Andre               Johnson               ever               do               that?

In               the               end,               there               are               three               elite               wide               receivers               in               the               NFL.

In               order               1.

Larry               Fitzgerald               2.

Calvin               Johnson               3.

Andre               Jonson.

There               are               great               wide               receivers               such               as               Brandon               Marshall,               who               has               never               played               a               single               playoff               game,               Dez               Bryant,               who               still               has               to               work               on               his               route               running               in               Dallas,               A.J.

Green               who               is               still               young,               Welker               who               isn't               a               threat               past               10               yards,               and               Victor               Cruz               who's               only               played               two               seasons.

But               they're               great,               not               elite.
