Well, it’s safe to say that Matt Millen got one of those wide receiver draft picks right.

Anyone who has anything bad to say about this dude is a strait up hater. The Lions may not have been good since the 50′s but, who else can claim the best RB and possibly the best WR ever on one team. Jerry Rice is the best but might not be when CJ is done. Don’t even try to argue against Barry.

Dude, they just gave you a 120 million contract, at that pay you better catch 100 plus passes a season. You’re making more than your QB and yet you complain about getting the ball too much, here’s a solution, go to the jets where they have chezbow and you wont have to worry about catching much balls from them. You’ll be begging to go back to detroit

they say it’s a passing league and I guess it is but nothing takes pressure off of your defense (and your passing game) like a good running game. CJ is smart enough to know this.

Calvin Johnson is a smart guy. Knows what he’s talking about. Balance is the key. That’s how you keep a defense off balance when the defense doesn’t know what’s going to hit them next.

You gotta love this guy. I’m a 49er fan and anyone can tell you after this season Lion fans and 9er fans don’t really like each other but Calvin Johnson is a great player. I can’t stand the team but I respect Calvin Johnson the same way I respect Jerry Rice as a receiver. Can’t say enough good things about this guy even though he plays for the Lions.

The Lions want the Lions to run the ball more but their running backs always get injuried Mr. Johnson. Don’t know if you noticed last season.

And that’s why I hope Calvin wins the fan voting for the Madden Cover (which gets announced tomorrow.

I think first thing is first.. how about a better defense so you can start running the ball? You can’t run if you’re always in a shootout type of game.

The money obviously has nothing to do with because Megatron has been all class from day 1.

He’s a class dude, but until they stop drafting RBs that smoke dope or have a history of concussions, it’s gonna be bombs away.

Wow, I wish he played for my team. His contract seemed ridiculous, but it looks like money well spent. It would be nice to be a Lions fan right now.

very wise of CJ, the lions with a running game would become a VERY, VERY dangerous team!! teams understood last year that they could bracket CJ & play the pass solely because their was no serious run threat, with any threat of a running game it could make teams commit at least 1 safety instead of holding both over the top to take away da big play, that being said most teams STILL could not stop CJ!!!!

All the cynics say it’s because he’s gotten paid…same haters that would criticize him if he said, “I need the ball more”.

it’s sad that we are at the point of where an all-pro WR states the obvious and gets praised as being a great guy. i will give CJ that, he IS a great guy and a team player. but the me-first, give me the damn ball culture of our beloved NFL is going down the drain. props to guys like CJ, tolbert (for refusing to play for the loudmouth jets cuz he’s not a talker), and the chief’s TE pope for saving someone’s life a couple years ago. less media attention to guys like stevie johnson and mike wallace might help the culture too.

Calvin consistenty says and does the right things. Add to it that he is the single greatest weapon in the game. The lions are lucky to have such a player.

i think every GM in the NFL would consider giving a testicle to have Megatron on their team.
absolute beast, awesome football player, great teammate.

Pure class. Megatron is definitely handling the money and the press flawlessly.

Boy, if there was ever a polar opposite to turds like T.O and Keyshawn demanding the ball more….Megatron would be that guy
