CJ is a beast. Look what he did without a decent QB. As a fan of the game of football I truly am looking forward to seeing what he can do if Stafford stays healthy. This guy is a phenom. As a Viking fan I hope I’m wrong .

So lets get it straight; by the numbers for the first four years of the other 4 “elite” WRs.
REC YDS AVG TD
Calvin Johnson 270 4191 15.525 33
Andre Johnson 311 3953 12.825 17
Greg Jennings 246 3957 16 28
Larry Fitzgerald 330 4544 13.725 34
Roddy White 230 3536 15.625 16

Unlike Cris Carter number don’t talk out of there ass. Calvin Johnson is easily an “elite” WR and given the team he is playing for and their ability his first 3 years, he is a monster. And once the Lions get a running game he is going to set countless records. let’s look at the QB’s the others had Roddy White I believe was Vick and Schaub, Jennings had Farve and Rodgers, Fitgerald had Warner, Johnson had Carr and Shaub. Based on that compare AJ to CJ and I think it is clear how good CJ is. Like I said before more with less.

It’s good to see people can start trashing outright rather then be sympathetic it means that everyone is expecting Jim and my boys are going to do it right this year.  

Apparently you don’t know much about Calvin Johnson since he’s made it pretty clear over the last few seasons that he’s more concerned with winning than he is his touches. He knows he’s gonna get those. He’s about the Lions putting up W’s, not whether or not he’s racking up meaningless stats during garbage time in a bad loss.

However, the guy was still a huge punk and a major whiner. I remember in the 1995 season, he sat in the lockerroom and pouted after the final game because he wasn’t able to lead the NFL in receptions and subsequently lost his record he had set a year ago.

Cris is great, just don’t let him open his mouth.

That’s all Carter has ever done–run his mouth for sensationalism’s sake.

He’s a coward.

Colston doesnt get any love??

In the end Cris you were nowhere near as good as Calvin is at the begining of a career, and he has been playing on what many considered the worst team in football until last year. Calvin holds his own with all the other “elite” WR listed in this blog and if you interchange him on to any of the other teams, he may truly be considered the greatest of all time.

But as a measuring stick suck on these numbers Cris (69 catches 1313yds, 19.0 avg, and 17 TDs)
Randy Moss

FYI – I am not a Lions fan, but I hate people who state their opinion with out basing it on facts. Both stats and perception back Calvin he has done far more with far less than all the “elite recievers” But that is for another blog.

-Cris Carter

HAIL MEGATRON!

I really hope he does not get into the HOF.

Was that Single coverage done by Revis? If so, Calvin Johnson can still be an elite wide receiver.

I have TONS of respect for Megatron, I’ve had a man crush on him since his days at gtech. I hope the Lions do well, you all have waited long enough and deserve a winner, but I have to be honest and say the Lions have been given so much undeserved hype. Hear me out. Yes they have upgraded A LOT in areas where needed and they have done everything necessary to flourish but it has to show on the field and in the win/loss colum when it counts. Like I said I hope they do well and I have respect for megatron out of this world but now its time for the Lions to show something instead of hearing about how much potential this team has to be one of the best (thanks ESPN). Good luck to the Lions, I root for you guys until we have to play each other or if we have to fight for playoff position. Cheers. Signed – A Saints Fan.

Calvin Johnson’s First 4 Years: 4,191 yards, 33 TDs

Baffling words from a guy who claims he should be in the Hall of Fame.

What the hell has this guy ever done but play football and mind his own buisness?

When you compare Johnson’s numbers to Moss’ when he was on the Raiders, there is no comparison. Johnson has had a stellar start to his career under the circumstances. As the Lions get more competent he ought to really start putting up the numbers. You gotta love Carter saying that he played with a bunch of QB’s that weren’t great and he still put up good numbers. Except that Moss was next to him for a long time and guess who got doubled? Not Carter.
