After watching both for just 1 game, I think Jones has an edge here in terms of talent. His physicality gives him a slight edge IMHO.
In terms of situation/environment, Jones obviously got more lucky and may prove to be a better fantasy WR in the near term as a result, but I don't believe it's a shoe-in...Green is going to get a lot of targets and Jones has to contend with Roddy and Gonzo for targets.
If you watched a real football conference instead of Pac Warner you'd have known that already
I watched him in college as I do watch a ton of college ball. It's different to seem him "explode" against NFL players...it's a contrast you like to see.
You call that "exploding"?
Play one: Uncovered drag route turned up field. Arguably the most "explosive" of the 3 touches.
Play two: Slant route and tackled immediately.
Play three: Perfectly blocked reverse.
He didn't outrun any defenders or break tackles. What was explosive about it? I thought he sort of looked like about 70% of Terrell Owens in his prime. Not a bad thing.
As for Green:
His short right in route resulted in more broken tackles and outrunning of defenders that Julio's 3 touches combined (even though it was to the sideline).
Bottom line: It is too early after one PRESEASON game to judge either. But when it comes down to it, Green is going to get about 10-11 targets consistently, while Jones will have weeks where he only sees 4-5 passes. For me, even with the much worse QB situation, Green is still the way to go both short and long term. Just watch a few Bengals practice highlights. But for the record I think they will both be top 10 WRs in about 2-3 years...
