Ryan's throws were horrible last night. I think he is in a slump, quite similar to a hitter in baseball, ever since the SB collapse vs the Pats.

Really his performance last year was very comparable to most of his career. He has had 2 outlier seasons. The crazy 2016 and 2012 when Julio, Roddy and Tony Gonzalez were all performing at a high level. It's nice to have 3 pass catchers who have a combined 23 Pro Bowls. Outside of those 2 years, Ryan has never been elite.

Julio Jones is on pace to get 96 more targets than the most targeted WR of all time, over the course of a season (Rob Moore, 208 in 1997). Who needs TDs?
Of course kidding. I’m still in the camp though he gets more than three TDs this year. Inconceivable he keeps this trend up.

He's going to need to get them via yards after the catch or deep throws because they sure as #### aren't going to happen at the RZ or at the GL. I'll be happy with like 100/1600/5 though.

Announcers made some comment about an effort to let more calls stand this year (or something to that effect). Turrible.... just turrible rationale here. Should be one objective - get the call right!
Along those same lines, Agholor was given a catch in the last 2 minutes of the first half that they didn't even review. Looked like a foot was off the ground.

I own Julio but several problems in the red zone. I never see separation. Everything is a sideline jump ball or ball thrown high over the middle. He hasn't been good going high for the ball (see SuperBowl). They don't execute back shoulder throws well. Not great on very short routes. See the INT last night. Totally on a different page from Ryan. They don't run effective pick or screen plays for WRs. There is just no deception or separation. Everything is contested. You'd think he'd get wide open with his skill at some point. Doesn't happen. Bizarre really.

I saw a QB SUCKING on deep throws.
I saw a WR looking EFFING CLUELESS in the red zone. Bad enough I stopped questioning why he wasn't on the field that first possession from the 1.
I saw a QB and WR who on several plays looked like they had never played together before.

It is really odd. I guess it just comes down to the fact that some receivers don’t function well with short fields. I haven’t seen enough of Julio to make an objective judgment but really the only thing I can come up with. Your description sounds apt for it.

No. Roddy was the #1 in 2011 & 2012 and Julio only played 5 games in 2013. Maybe the argument could be made for 2014 & 2015.

He would’ve been 120-1 if Ryan could’ve thrown that ball a little farther.
He is frustrating. So much seemingly left in the field each week.

They couldn't cover the Ravens WRs on deep crossing routes last week - the 10 catches and 245 yards are almost a lock

I'd easily take that. Getting Chubb (who was top 5 rookie pick) and a future 1st for Julio at this stage in his career is a steal.

I know. Ugh. At least Ryan was looking his way early and often, putting Julio in good position to make catches with highly accurate throws. ?

Been hearing this for what seems like ages. The OC in Atlanta is a buffoon. Does anybody have confidence in that guy?Faust said:

I was a Julio owner from his rookie season up until last season. Steve Sarkisian is the reason I finally traded Julio away. Got tired of the BS play calling.

This thread is funny. Dudes lowest yard total of the season is what? 65? And he’s gone over 150 twice? He’s had at least 5 grabs every week too?
At this point, he is who he is- probably not going to catch 10, hell, even 8 touchdowns. But the guy is on pace for like 130-1800 lol. I’m sure he will catch his normal 5-6 tds and finish as a top 5-7 WR?

Expected over-reaction because last game was so frustrating and another wasted match-up. But agree with your overall point. He's 3rd in total yards and yards per game so I wouldn't panic just yet.
He backed out of the Chubb offer, but I traded him Julio for his #1 and #3 next year (2019) and his #1 in 2020.
Only problem is that they are going to be very low 1st-rounders, but at this point I'll take it to be rid of this lineup killer.

Weeks 2, 3, and 5. My league is non-PPR and 1 point per 20 yards. Julio ranks as the #31 WR, while I've had Kupp (#1) on my bench.

Check this one out.
Got a trade offer:
His TJ Watt
for
My Julio Jones AND a 2019 2nd round rookie pick.
Yeah, let me jump all over that.

I've owned Jones since he came into the league, up until I traded him a couple of weeks ago. So I've watched the Falcons a lot and there are several things you can count on each and every week:
1. Matt Ryan will underthrow him on every long play and he'll get tackled at the 10.
2. Julio will then pull himself from the game, which I'm pretty sure he does after every catch longer than 10 yards. I've never seen someone take himself out of the game after seemingly every catch as much as he does. A lot of players do this nowadays and it drives me nuts. Can anyone here who's ever played sports imagine pulling yourself from a game after making a big play? Can you see Emmitt Smith doing this? No, you want the ball again.
3. Matt Ryan can be laser sharp everywhere else on the field, but he will make 5 awful throws to Julio in the end zone that are nowhere close.
