Re: Cooper vs Julo...Who is better?

Cooper is a classic, smooth as silk type of receiver who can blow by you in a heartbeat.

Julio's an athletic freak of nature (in a very good way) who can outrun you and run through you.

Hard to say who's best, but Amari will be as financially well as Julio one day soon.

Cooper is smoother and has better hands. Julio is stronger and blocks a whole lot better. They are both pretty solid.

Re: Cooper vs Julo...Who is better?

Coop
Better hands
More fluid route runner
Equally as athletic

Jones
Stronger and more physical
A top 10 NFL pick and a top 5 NFL reciever

I will give the nod to Julio until Coop brings it at the next level.

In college, Cooper - and it's not really that close. Julio Jones dropped too many passes at Alabama. Since arriving in the NFL, Jones is a much improved pass catcher and can now fully leverage his amazing physical attributes.

He reminds me more of AJ Green than Julio...

Re: Cooper vs Julo...Who is better?

Don't forget that Julio had problems with that broken hand his entire Soph. year; that didn't help his ability to catch. Very hard to compare them because they are two totally different style receivers. Amari is a speedster who can outrun anyone, but Julio was tall and a great blocker.

Julio is still known for dropping one easy one in the NFL. Coop is just smooth with everything he does.

Really I just don't know.

Before tonight if say cooper. But with the Freddy milons 90yard run to gain 10 that pretty much tells me Julio Jones would clean his clock. Julio Jones by a mile.

Re: Cooper vs Julo...Who is better?

Both guys have made miraculous catches and both have dropped a good many passes. Julio can catch anything Amari can but the focus wasn't always there at Alabama. Amari is a better route runner at this point in his career but these days it's rare that Julio doesn't go over a hundred in a game, even when he has a bad day. They're both elite after-the-catch playmakers. One day, I think Amari will be better. He's such a natural route runner, you can't teach the skills he has. Julio has been shut down by good cornerbacks (recently). I think DBs are gonna have a harder time with Cooper in the NFL.

This wouldn't even be a question if AJ McCarron had been throwing to Julio Jones. When you have a strong armed quarterback it makes a world of difference.

Cooper is probably more technically sound, only because he's not the physical freak Julio is.

Re: Cooper vs Julo...Who is better?

Julio is the better wide receiver. He's bigger, faster, a better blocker, and more of a leader.
Amari is very very good, but he's not Julio.
Why this is even a topic, I have no clue. Florida should be the subject, not, if Julio is better than Amari or vice-versa.

Well, sip...we'll see about that when Amari gets to the NFL.
