Don't think that can be answered until after he graduates is given a diploma.
-
In three years, Beasley had 141 receptions, 2507 yards and 29 touchdowns.
In two years, Jones has 101 receptions, 1520 yards, and 8 touchdowns.
And Terry played in less games per year, and was an All American his last two years.

40/1000/21 this year to catch up?
Julio can do it!

If he did he should win the Ingram I mean the Heisman.

It's also relevant how many passes were thrown to him. Clearly Beasley played in a much less pass happy era.
Also Beasley: 17.8 Yards per catch, and 1 TD for every 4.8 catches
Jones: 15 yards per catch, and 1 TD for every 12 catches.

Beasley is winnah winnah. Now you go get chicken dinnah

Julio Jones would catch way more fish.

This brings up a good question.
With the current problem in the gulf, where will the fishing take place this year?

In the lake beside the Dodge dealership in Gadsden.

Who Leo?
Last year in SEC games only, we had a kid catch the same number of passes as Who Leo.
Except our guy had 312 more yards and twice as many TDs.

The person throwing him the ball wasn't so awful, you act like he never saw the ball.

Maybe in the Nutt era. Here's the legwork that Tanny did. Our passing sucked during Nutt's last year.

Beasley was 5-10 and 185. Your comparison of Jones should be with Newsome while at Alabama. Jones has more speed and that's where the comparison ends.

You act like you have no reading comprehension skills. Beasley's QB averaged 50 less attempts per season, in seasons that were 10 regular season games, and a bowl. If my calculations are correct (not counting injuries sitting out, etc), Beasley played in a total of 32 games in three seasons. Who Leo, has played in 28 games in 2 seasons. Who Leo has played in 87% of the number of games Beasley did, and only acheived roughly 66% of the total stats in receptions and yards, is @ 2 ypc behind Beasley, and has just a a bit over 1/4 the TDs. Not to mention the things like Who Leo's size and speed vs Beasley's (though I doubt Beasley was slow), and the fact that today's passing game is much more advanced than 40 years ago. Beasley was, depending on the stat, as or far more prolific in a day when passing wasn't nearly as cool.

Math does not lie.

By today's standards, Beasley and Sullivan would still be a prolific duo...in 1969-71, they were light years ahead of their time in passing and receiving. In the Auburn record book, Beasley still appears in the top 10 (mostly in the top 5) of every receiving record...the majority of the others in the top ten in the receiving catagories came from at least 25 years later.

...and Beasley did it all without the aid of steroids.

This may be the true difference maker. Julio's hands have become as hard as this chicks boobs. Coincidence?

I would rate Who leo at about #4 or #5...in the SEC. He might be as good as Green, Childs or Hodge but I think those guys get open moreso with less weapons surrounding them. Bama doesn't connect deep often enough to give them that added dimension. So where is Mr. Jones? Are his less than two touches per game due to a corch playing it so close to the vest?
Beasley (sub 4.5?) was the best in the SEC throughout his playing career.

Saying a coach is "playing it so close to the vest" sounds to me like a fault. Since a Heisman trophy was given to a player playing on offense for Alabama last year I think that says that Alabama's coaches used the personnel they had correctly.
As for Julio's two touches per game, that stat doesn't reflect the 15 passes a game that rickashayed off his hands.

JP Wilson seems reckless compared to Greg McElroy. With that kind of talent Saban should be able to out-perform with a safe strategy. Still sound derogatory? I don't recall Beasley dropping many and yes, Julio tends to fend-off quite a few potential receptions.

I get your point. On a lighter note, when watching a game and Julio clanks one off his hands my wife will yell out random things like "Stick save by Julio!" in an announcer voice. I've gotten to where I just shake my head and laugh.

Now that's funny! Did she develop that on her own?

Yes she did. She's funny. I hadn't been to a batting cage in 15 years and i got a wild hair. I was right next to this dude that looked the part, he was obviously a ball player. I couldn't hit anything but gnats and after every swing my wife would say "good job, baby", "you're doing good". The dude was laughing and I turned around and told her to stop with the encouraging stuff. I turned back around and took another shameful swing and from behind me I hear a long "Youuuu Suuuuuuuuck." The dude came unglued and she heckled me the rest of the pitches.
-
Yeah I took my then thiteen year old to a cage and he was whining about the equipment misfiring and I told him if he could hit, he ought to be able to use a broomstick. He finally suckered me in there and I was humbled by managing only to foul a few off. So it made him feel a little better to see the old man struggle. I however had two acres and a push mower hee, hee ! This lawn mower was a running phuking freak machine too. Nothing would stop it in fact it still runs in semi retirement. Advantage Dad!

My grandfather had one of these and I decided to buy one at a flea market when the new wife and I first rented. What the phuk was I thinking?
And I could picture myself trying to use an electric mower with a short in the cord on new fallen dew.

Those two things have only the most remote relation.

I was gonna make a joke about the french but seriously, I typed it in to google to make certain of its spelling and expected for google to correct it but it didn't. Apparently it's been spelled wrong so many times google just said "wtf, I don't care anymore".

I was more speaking to the coaches goal being to win games rather than to max Julio's stats. By that regard, I don't think they played things too close to the vest by not throwing to him as much as they probably could have, and instead, continuing a power run offense. I get what he was saying though and it makes sense.

Saban's O spreads it around very efficiently. I think it is exactly as he wants it and why change it? This isn't the NFL. He probably could run out of the T formation with a superior defense such as last seasons but might need to air it more in the coming season. And if they find themselves in a dogfight early on it will be interesting to see how he adjusts. And I'm not talking about a fake punt or field goal which is generally a ploy not part of a strategy.

I think Julio is a more impressive physical specimen like Calvin Johnson or T.O. and has the most upside and raw talent.
I think AJ Green has better hands and is a better WR from a technical perspective.
