Shannon Sharpe explains why Julio Jones is a better MVP choice than Antonio Brown | UNDISPUTED 

Do you agree with Shannon?

Julio gets no respect it’s disrespectful 🤦🏽‍♂️

Julio has never cried for not getting the ball Julio Jones isn’t a state guy He said himself he doesn’t care if he doesn’t get the ball aslong as the team gets the W He doesn’t cry like Antonio Brown

Question: who’s the best wr? Skip: dak Prescott

If Julio got the targets Antonio got, this wouldn’t be a conversation

Greg is wrong. Watch that super bowl again. Right before atlanta threw themselves out of game-winning field goal range, matty ice forced it to julio on the right sideline. He made a straight up stupid catch over and around a db, got his feet down, and got out of bounds. If atlanta runs it three times and kicks that field goal, julio would have been lauded for making one of the clutchest plays in an sb by a wideout ever.

If the falcons didn’t choke Julio should have won super bowl mvp for that catch

Here's something you can say about Julio, that you can't say about AB. He showed up against the Patriots.

It's crazy how Calvin Johnson was even BIGGER than Julio Jones.

If julio gets fed the same way ab does he would have 2k season already

Is anyone else watching this a few years later when AB is out of the league for going crazy and Julio is still consistent and balling out? Time is the true test😂😂😂😂

Skip really hates the Falcons smh

Matt Ryan spreads the ball around so he's not getting the ball nowhere near as much

How about we agree they are both better than OBJ

Julio is the clear cut best current receiver.

9:41 that comment did not age well Skip 💀

Julio Jones is the best wr in the league, coming from a dolphins fan 🤝🐬.

Julio James is the goat (look at the poll 😂)

Julio. AB is great, I think he’s 2nd. But I think a lot of his numbers look better cause of the way the Steelers use him. They force him the ball (mainly on Ben), whereas Matt Ryan just looks for the best possible match up or whoever may be open on any play. That could be cause Ben doesn’t trust his other WR’s as much as Ryan trusts his, but they’re both great. Clearly the best and 2nd best WR’s in the game. But 6’3, 220lbs, 4.3 40 speed with great hands and can run the entire route tree, wide catch radius, good perimeter blocker, great RAC..... that’s just hard to pick against.

Julio James is the best WR in NFL history!!!!! 110% for sure!!!

Watching this back years later "ABs cool he ain't Odell" oh how badly this aged 😂

julio jones best WR in the NFL

I'm a steelers fan so this may be biased. But other than the locker room incident & the incident where he was wide open on a 3rd down; what has warranted AB as a "diva"? For the past 5 years AB is the most consistent & productive WR in the NFL today, & it's not even close. 5 straight 100 catch seasons. 5 straight 1,200 yard seasons (6 total). 8+ TD's 5 straight seasons. AB has better hands & yard after the catch ability... AB is doing what all 6'2+ receivers should be doing & he's only 5'10. Not to mention if you follow him on social media he is by far one of the most hardest working WR's off the field. Julio is amazing, yes. But you don't have to shade AB to praise Julio.

Looking back this is even better

Julio 1. class act 2. Speed, size , strength 3. Doesn't cry like a baby 4. Doesn't drop passes 5. Doesn't care about stats 6. eats Wings .... 7.Carried falcons for the last 6yesrs

Let me find out that Skip is 5'6, 142lbs on tv talking all loud...

So since Julio's rookie year until ABs last year w Steelers AB leads in nearly every category and almost doubles him up in TDs, what's the discussion?

Who’s here now when ab isn’t even in the nfl, trying to have a boxing match. while Julio out here beastin

Lol when Shannon said "you little too" to skip had me dead 😂💀

He explained Julio Jones perfect the best wide receiver ever

10:40..."What about that 300. That don't tell you he gotchu?" Lmbo🤣🤣🤣 Preach!!

that julio Superbowl catch. Antonio disappears in the playoffs but not julio

Julio is better hands down. AB gets waaaay more targets, Ben is forcing it too much. The numbers I care about are playoffs numbers: Julio Jones: 6 games, 55 tgt, 43 rec, 639 yds, 5 TD, 78% catch AB: 9 games, 70 tgt, 44 rec, 705 yds, 2 TD, 62,8% catch In 3 games more played AB has just 1 more rec, and 66 more yds. Julio has 3 MORE TDs, and way better %, and is an athletic freak.

U cant say just because hes a physical freak you take that outta the equation ? Makes no sense. Hes antonio brown route tree and doesnt need 10 catches a game to get same yard sticky gets. 3 different 250 yd games

look at Antonio now, lmfaooo julio is the best damn receiver to ever play the game!

Julio doesn't even get the ball as much as Julio but Julio is the all time leader in yards per game! Julio is the best hands down!

I’m taking AB all day. Business is bOOmin’

The point about Matt Ryan not forcing the ball makes a lot of sense, and Big Ben is a gunslinger. I'll take Julio.

JULIO EASY! Julio said doesn't care about stats. He just wants to win, any way possible. Plus forcing the ball could be bad.

I agree with Shannon I think he's amazing and I also think he's a great role model. He's very professional and humble and a team player and he does the things that get you glory and the things that don't at the same level. He's not always producing the same each game but I think that also has to do with the difference in the way they play. Julio takes a lot of hits he runs extremely fast he jumps for nearly uncatchable balls etc. I think he takes more of a beating and that's why he can't produce the same every game but at the same time when he's fit he can do more than anybody.

My current dream WR corp would be Julio Jones, AJ Green, and Fitz. Amazing receivers, but also they are not anywhere close to selfish. Antonio is great obviously. 2nd best WR in the league, but what Julio does baffles me. When you see games where he doesn't go off for monster numbers, he still makes an impact. You literally see almost the entire defense shift over to his side! He makes the other receivers better and obviously, Matt Ryan better. And also Julio got them to the Super Bowl, and his amazing catch should've won that game. So he actually shows up in big moments

#RISEUP

boy was Shannon right!!!

What makes Julio Jones one of the greatest wr in the game is his deep beliefs in being a terrific teammate while putting in work himself. This young man has to be the most humbled human being in all of sports hands down. #Leadership💯

Time for Shannon To address his hate for Pittsburgh this been brewing for awhile now. I love Shannon tho #SteelersNation

Antonio Brown is more consistent. But for a 1 game scenario I'm taking Julio he's just too big and fast to guard for a whole game

So y’all gonna tell me that if Julio was a steeler and AB was a falcon that Julio wouldn’t of put 90 plus catches and 10 plus TDs every year so the stats you can’t compare cuz Matt doesn’t force feed Julio 20 targets a game like Ben do AB

Great segment, barbershop talk. I love it.

Julio Jones is the best since Calvin Johnson and randy moss idc wat nobody say Julio is the best

Skip and Greg made literally zero sense on this topic.

If we're playing fantasy football, I would take Antonio Brown because of his usage and the team's game plan. If I were a coach building a team or needed a game winning drive, I would take Juilo over Brown any day. In reality, numbers don't tell the whole story in sports and least of all in football. Most RBs, QBs, and WRs like their own stats, but when you're splitting hairs like these guys said, stats are not how you judge the top 5 players at a position alone, that's what scouting is for, to see what they can do. Juilo > Brown. Juilo is capable of bigger things than any WR in the league. Doesn't mean he does it every day because the falcons want to win. They'll use him to draw 3 guys away from a run. Or use him to block. Which he is pretty good at. He is just as fast. They both have great hands but Juilo has the bigger wingspan and harder to bring down when you hit him. What makes Brown great is his routes and how he creates separation with his speed and cuts. Juilo can do it all. He'll he can even tackle better if Ryan throws an INT. That's your best WR in the league guys

All of y’all saying Julio is struggling this year clearly haven’t watched Falcons games. Matt Ryan has been struggling to conduct this offense under Steve Sarkisian, there have been times where he’s thrown into double coverage to a 5’10 Taylor Gabriel and TE Austin Hooper.

Julio Jones has weeks where he is a non factor. Antonio brown will consistently put up 100 yards for you and is the ultimate clutch receiver with one of the best hands, quickness and the best sideline toe taps ever, not to mention extreme durability and he's leading his team to a winning record.

Sean lee is the best wide receiver in the nfl

I’m taking Drew Brees over Tom Brady Idc

As of today, AB leads Julio in career stats by exactly 1000 yards, 155 receptions, 193 targets, 16 touchdowns and a season since Julio started a year later with injuries causing him to miss games throughout his career...Julio, like AB shows up when he is called but no drama, and he doesn’t force Ryan to target him limiting his ability to pass the ball...I’ll take Julio as my guy

watching this in 2020 this conversation is hilarious

JULIO over AB

As a football fan, I'm jus happy to witness two of the best WR in the game.

This is for all of the people that think Julio is better than AB. AB was a 6th round draft pick and when he was a rookie the Steelers still had HINES WARD, EMANUEL SANDERS, AND MIKE WALLACE. He couldn’t just start right away. He had to work his way up to the starting spot. Julio Jones was a first round pick. He starting getting receptions right away. It’s crazy how AB is leading in all of these stats since he was a rookie. It just shows how great he really is. Everyone says Julio is better because he is bigger, stronger, and faster but AB is only 5’10 180lbs and still has better stats than Julio. AB has been the best receiver for the last 5 years no question. AB is so consistent. You know he will be clutch and have great numbers every game throughout the season. Plus he is a huge threat in special teams. He is just an all around better player. I wouldn’t be surprised if Julio has 50 yards next game. And don’t blame his bad games on the rest of their offense. They have the last years NFL MVP. AB has a QB that doesn’t even know if he wants to play anymore and retire. I’d take the future hall of famer, AB any day. #BusinessIsBoomin #CallGod 8x4=32...

Julio going down as one of the greatest ever . If he didn't get tripled covered ever other play his numbers would look like AB's also

Julio James lmaoooo

Before Juju Smith-Shuster, who was the other wide receiver for Pittsburgh? AB was their main threat. Matt Ryan has an arsenal to spread the ball around to. He doesn't have to catch 11 balls to get 100 yards in a game.

I want them to revisit this segment.

Julio James for MVP

skips playing the opponent to Shannon that's what this show is lol

To all those people talking about Ben forces the ball to AB, and that if he got Antonio targets, he'd get 2500+ yards and he'd crush Antonio. Except we've already seen this. 2015, Julio had 203 targets, 136 catches, 1871 yards, and 8 touchdowns. Same year, Antonio had 193 targets, 136 catches, 1834 yards, and 10 TDs. Not only that, AB is flat out better at catching the ball, with Antonio having 2 70% or more catch percentage seasons with above 100 targets to Julio's zero. Additionally, the last time Julio caught a larger percentage than Antonio was in 2013, and even that deserves an asterisk. I'm 2013, Antonio caught the ball 65.9% of the time compared to Julio's 69.5%. Except in 2013, Julio only played 5 games, with 59 targets and 41 catches. In comparison, Antonio had 167 targets and 110 catches. Basically, if you discount the season where he only played five games, Antonio has routinely caught more passes on higher targets, and the one season where Julio had more targets, he only had 37 more yards (though he did have more yards on the same amount of catches) and 2 less touchdowns with identical number of receptions. I like Julio. He's an excellent receiver. But let's face it. When it comes to actually being a receiver, Antonio is just better. What makes it even worse is that Julio is freakishly athletic and take than average for his position. AB is barely above average in height and weight for men period, with pretty average athleticism for his position, yet here we are debating who's better. If we're talking hypotheticals, if AB had Julio's physical gifts or if Julio had the same height, weight, and athleticism as Antonio, this wouldn't even be a debate. It'd be even worse if you switched their pre draft measurables.

People who support ab: statistics and consistency People who support Julio: HE BIG AND FAST

No one argues Julio the best all year you know why? Cause he is SO inconsistent compared to AB. The only time people are willing to argue it is when he has a 200+ yard. Give me AB all day cause he will CONSISTENTLY give you crazy plays, crazy catches, and game winning plays. AB is gonna be on the field every play and every game. Wait til they get older and when we see the speed disappear and AB is still getting open because of his route running and Julio falls off the map cause his physical attributes disappear this argument is gonna sound stupid

As a pure receiver Julio prob better. But AB was the most productive and “greater receiver” in that stretch

Agree! Rise Up!!

Str8 facts💯

Where were all these “julio is the best wr” comments the rest of the year? This is his first great game of the year and now he’s the best? lol y’all something else

I say AJ Green he is stuck with Dalton not saying bad about Andy but if AJ had Brees Luck Big Ben he would get 1800yds every year and 15+ tds

If megatron had an offense or team like these two had his stats would scream goat instead of top 5 in my eyes or top 3

One isn’t better than the other. They’re two different players that bring two different skill sets to the game and are both great in different ways.

Julio.. next question

Julio has been the best receiver in the league for years, even before Megatron retired.

Uncle Shay you are spot on!

If Calvin Johnson was still playing he definitely was the best wide receiver in the league by far

Give me the silent assassin... Julio..

Sharp speak the truth...JETJONES #RISEUPATL

I’ll take ab based on consistency you know what you gonna get w him no matter who’s the qb

Preach on Brother Sharpe. Roll Tide Baby

Me watching this Oct 2022 ... Idk why

"Julio reminds me of t.o. but faster" 😕WTF wrong with Shannon lately, he's out his mind. Dude plays nothing like t.o.

Wow. This actually was a great discussion

Amem@sharpe Julio is the God at the WR position

I seen Julio come back on a bootleg and reach over 2 ny giants defenders to cath the rock I take Julio..

Bro we weren't even talking bout Julio since before this game smh Antonio brown stays being consistent and healthy smh the amount of disrespect for the best WR Antonio brown

ANTONIO 2020 HIGHLIGHTS PROVED HES BETTER THAN THE REST WITH A RING ON HAND 🙌🏾

I think it’s also important that the two QBs have different play styles. If Julio is a bigger man than that gives AB a disadvantage. I think AB is better but it’s soooooo close.

Julio for Madden 19 cover 🙌🏾🏈

Why does Shannon hate the Steelers?

Julio Jones doesn’t get the ball as much as AB but still has amazing stats close to his. Julio is the perfect size, no drama, clutch, has speed. AB wants stats, Julio wants to win and doesn’t want to be the only player targeted. Julio is way more respectable he’s a great guy who does his job quietly.

Everyone forgets how strong AB is. To make it to the AFC championship he stood his ground against 3 defenders and reached the ball across the plain. Showing strength and determination. He’s clutch, saying that Julio Jones is a monster but I don’t think he’s better than AB

Julio Jones > Antonio Brown

Fact check: AB has 126 targets compared to Julio's 101 and with 25 more targets he only has 150 more yards to show for it. If Julio had 25 more targets, assuming he kept the same catch rate (62%x25 targetsx15.7 yards per catch), he'd have 1,284 yards right now, almost 100 yards more than Antonio If you do the same math for last season : Julio had 83 catches on 129 targets= 64% catch rate. 64%x 155 targets (How many target AB had) x 17 yards per catch (Julio's average per catch) you get 1,695 yards. That's more than 400 yards more than Antonio. Julio by the way, still led the league in receiving last year and had 200 yards more than AB despite the "best receiver" AB getting way more targets than him. Julio produces more per touch than Antonio. That's because he's *more talented* than Antonio. Bigger, faster, stronger, can run every route as good as Antonio and can run better after the catch than Antonio. Julio can dominate games in a way AB can't, and that's no knock on AB because no one in the history of the league has done what he's doing. He has more 250+yard games than *ALL HALL OF FAME RECEIVERS COMBINED* . He averages the most yards per game *in league history* . He's been to two conference championships and put up 180 yards and 2 TD's in both of them, *the only player in league history to do that* . He has the most catches, yards, and 100 yard games in the first 90 games of a career. The guy walks his talk and sets records while he does it. Julio>AB

They are both pretty damn good.You can’t guard these guys 1on1

The ball is forced more to brown because the other receivers don't show up most game. Eli rogers, Vance MacDonald and Bryant have dropped crucial catches. Brown answers the bell especially in clutch situations. It's even more impressive that he's half the size and doing these things. Defenders know brown is getting it, they double cover him and yet he still makes plays.
