Julio Jones Better Than AJ Green?

SportingNews.com - Your expert source for NCAA Football stats, scores, standings, and blogs from NCAA Football columnists:
"Q: Julio Jones is the only receiver with a pulse at Alabama, so that means he's the 15th-best player in the nation? Please take this as respectfully as possible, but you're crazy. Now I'm not saying that Julio is no good. He's unbelievable. But he's not so much better than A.J. Greene that he deserves 15th best in the nation and A.J. doesn't even make your list. -- Casey Bowman
Hayes: It's not the 25 best wide receivers, it's the 25 best players. Because Jones is No. 15, it doesn't mean A.J. Green should somehow be close behind.
Green is a terrific talent, but he's not the same player as Jones. Not even close. Green benefited last fall from Matthew Stafford, and developed into a dangerous threat. Jones was saddled with John Parker Wilson, a serviceable quarterback who was told not to mess up.
Jones has the physical ability to consistently beat double teams, and was the team's best deep threat. If he were playing with an accurate quarterback in an offense that wasn't holding back for fear of turnovers, he would've had a monster season. Frankly, he may be too low at 15.
"

This is a tough debate. I like AJ Green's attitude, he showed class in the GT game by not celebrating too much after his TD.
