Is Calvin Johnson Really That Great???

[bigdare23]

I'm a huge Calvin Johnson fan (I goto GT and he help me kill people in NCAA football for the past two years LOL). I just want to see everyone's opinion on how he's going to do he's first season with the Lions :( .

[OneSlow5pt0]

hes a top 10 WR in his first year,and i think drew stanton is gonna be QB this year for lions

[Tracer]

He's not the best WR. Just watch the UGA last year were he got shutdown. Now, Welcome to the PROS!!!

[OneSlow5pt0]

its called reggie ball sucks:goodjob:

[phongt12]

i think he will do pretty good. not many people his size can jump as high as him, run as fast as him, or catch as well as him. being 240+ lbs, he'll be able to match up pretty nicely against grown men in the NFL.

i go to UGA and i didn't see him get "shut down." if tech had a better qb, we would've seen a much different game. CJ is considered by many analysts to be the best NCAA player in the NFL draft - even with a crappy QB, which says alot.

TO+Marvin Harrison + randy moss = CJ

[Tracer]

Who's throwing to CJ on the Lions? lol

[bigdare23]

they say he's "randy moss + jerry rice"....................... never know.

[OneSlow5pt0]

Drew stanton will be good in NFL

[phongt12]

TO+Marvin Harrison + randy moss = CJ

haha he's no superman, but i'd say he's very close to Terrell Owens (minus the attitude). he'll probably surpass him in no time.

["B"]

Calvin Johnson will NOT be a to 10 WR this season. You do know that Charles Rogers is the Lions #1 WR right? That means that CJ won't be thrown too as much as he would like. He won't have the stats and no one on IA can tell you how great he is going to be.

[OneSlow5pt0]

TO's Body
Randy's speed and jumping
Marvin's attitude and will

thats y i said them

Terrell Ownes has like 114 career touchdowns. It will take a lot longer than "no time" to surpass TO.

wrong,hes not on any NFL roster

[Kyle]

Calvin Johnson is definitely FTW. Without him GT would have been much worse. It sucks we didnt have a good qb to help him out.

[OneSlow5pt0]

next year Choice for heisman

My bad, I was thinking Roy Williams. I don't know why I typed Charles Rogers.:thinking:

[OneSlow5pt0]

:thinking: :doh: PREDICTIONS.........

i can say in 2 years he will be ranked 99 on madden if that means anything

["B"]

:thinking: :doh: PREDICTIONS.........


I predict that eventually (not this season), the Lions will have a nasty WR core like the Cardinals have.

[bigdare23]

LOL, like if you played NCAA this year he was a "99" by the end of the season.

[quickdodge®]

And not everyone has a great game every game. UGA fans try to weasel out every little thing to make themselves feel better. Later, QD.

Nope, just making a point that he's not GOD'S gift. You can stop him.

[quickdodge®]

Nope, just making a point that he's not GOD'S gift. You can stop him.

Nope. You just had to point out a game where UGA was involved. I'm not saying CJ is a great player, but he definitely is far from shoddy. Could be a Pro-Bowler? I think so. Hail, Gail Sayers, Walter Payton, Joe Montana all had bad games here and there. So what? Later, QD.

Correction:

He was a great COLLEGE player. Mike Williams and Ryan Leaf were great COLLEGE players. They didn't do so well in the NFL.

[ShooterMcGavin]

calvin johnson will be the greatest receiver to have ever played the game

:lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao: Please. It will be a long while before anyone passes the G.O.A.T. Jerry Rice.

[tony]

You know.. I've pondered this myself and personally I think he will be a better than average receiver in the NFL but nothing legendary. I do hope I am wrong but from what I've seen.. I do not see a Jerry Rice or Randy Moss.

:thinking: Have you ever seen any of his games!


He was wr of the year with the worst qb you could have. On any other team he was this years heisman :goodjob:

Reggie Ball over threw the ball, under threw the ball, threw the ball to the left and right of him, but he manage Wr of the year. That tells you something right there.................. thats he's a special player :goodjob:


Just youtube him!

[devinwebb907]

yall gotta be kidding me? ive been following calvin johnson all of his college career, and that man is amazing. anyone who has anything different to say better be jerry rice or some shit, cause nobody else can talk. and even then it's only a matter of time...

[sleepys4]

I thought in highschool, he was good, then college he got even better, who knows he may step it up again. He should have played baseball, he was better at that believe it or not.

[quickdodge®]

He was wr of the year with the worst qb you could have.

I wouldn't say Ball was the worst QB. He has the talent, he just fucks up a bit. Needs more focus and training. When he's on, he's on. Reminds me of Vick in a way. Except Ball can throw. More. Now don't get me wrong, he isn't near the best, but he has potential. Later, QD.

Yeah your right, I was just caught up in the moment. Reggie did pretty decent for most of this past season until the Clemson game. After that game we get win some more games, but he wasnt on it like he was at the beginning of the season.

Are you serious?

Let's just hand the man a ProBowl appearance and put his name on the HoF ballott before he even steps foot on an NFL field.

No shit. Nobody said anything about beating his touchdown receptions. At his current size, Johnson is taller (6'5'') and bigger (240 lbs) than Owens, while running at nearly the same speed. At the NFL Combine, he picked up someone else's shoes and ran for fun, in a measly 4.4. Check out this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXRqyjzyBRg) for probably one of his best career catches.

So how is he going to "surpass" T.O.?

never know.............................................. ........... just look at what Da Prez (aka Reggie Bush) did last year.

All I can say is there's a reason why every team in the NFL wanted him and he's going to prove that soon................

["B"]

never know.............................................. ........... just look at what Da Prez (aka Reggie Bush) did last year.

So he is going to catch a bunch of swing passes out of the back field?

I am not saying that he won't be good, but he is not just going to walk into the league and become great over night. Left him do a crossing pattern in the NFL and get his head taken off a few times before you label him the GOAT.

I'm not claiming him as GOAT (some might but not me), but I do believe that he's the Labron of football :goodjob:

[jimbrown]

UHH Yea!! I think he will have one hell of a season, Great Athlete, but even better Person.

[ShooterMcGavin]

So how is he going to "surpass" T.O.?
bc TO is on the randy moss plan, couple more yrs of fucking around in the league and he'll retire to working out in his driveway fulltime :goodjob:

[BB6dohcvtec]

CJ is that great if his health is as good as jerry's he will break his record at 6'5 240 there is not a CB in the league to match up to him. throw the ball in his direction and he will go get it. No offense to jerry rice or anything but the game is alot faster now then it was when he was in his prime.

["B"]

Jerry Rice's records will stand for a long time.

[ShooterMcGavin]

right, just like walter payton's records stood for a long time, doesn't mean shit won't get broken though...

["B"]

Wow, I think that is what I just said. A long time.

lol

yeah he got shut down.... with reggie ball and it was raining!:gay:

When Michael Irving says your an amazing WR, your pretty fucking good. get ready for Calvin to be a household name in the years to come.

["B"]

get ready for Calvin to be a household name in the years to come.
That may be, but as of right now he is a rookie. Look at Vernon Davis coming out of last year's draft. He was the best TE PROSPECT in the history of the NFL draft. He didn't do too hot his rookie season. This is not to say that he will never be great, but you can't just hand him the title.:gay:

[BB6dohcvtec]

I will go ahead and hand him the award barring any kind of catastrophic injury. :goodjob:

["B"]

To break Jerry Rice's records he would have to be injury free for about 15 years. Not going to happen.

["B"]

NFL Records
Rice held the following NFL records at the time of his retirement:

Regular Season
Receptions (1,549)
Receiving yards (22,895)
Touchdown receptions(198)
All-purpose yards (23,540)
Touchdowns (208)
Receiving yards gained in a single season (1,848)
Touchdown receptions in a single season (22)
Seasons with at least 50 receptions (17)
Seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards (14)
Games with at least 100 receiving yards (76)
Consecutive games with at least one reception (274)
Consecutive games with at least one touchdown reception (13)

Postseason
Games played (28)
Touchdowns (22)
Receptions (151)
Yards receiving (2,245)
Touchdown receptions in a single game (3, three times; 10 others have had 3 in a game once)
Games with at least 100 receiving yards (8)
Consecutive games with at least one reception (28)

Super Bowl
Receptions (33)
Yards receiving (589)
All-purpose yards (604)
Touchdown receptions (8)
Points scored (48)
Receptions in a single game (11)
Yards receiving in a single game (215)
Touchdown receptions in a single game (3, twice)
Points scored in a single game (18, twice)


THAT is the greatest of all time. Please tell me you people are not tr ying to give a rookie the title before the start of his first season?


The total TDs may not last very long, but the rest will.

The most consistant reciever since Jerry Rice has been Marvin Harrison. With 11 full seasons in the NFL, Harrison is still 527 receptions behind Rice. He is also 9,198 yards behind Rice. He has 122 TDs.


LaDainian Tomlinson has the best chance to break the total TD record. He is at 100 TDs in just 6 seasons. He would have to stay healthy for the next 4 years to do it.




The defense of the greatest wide reciever in NFL history rests, your honor.

im excited to see how cj does in the pros, being a tech student myself and all

haha my roommate had a chance to get his autograph, cj was signing this jersey that he had just bought, and as cj was signing it the sharpie ran out of ink hahahahaa

he told me it was the worst day thus far in his life LOL

You sir, are a moron. Although he may be "the shit" in college, this is the NFL. He may be good in the NFL too, but do you know how many draft busts there are per year?

[jimbrown]

i went to high school with him he dominated every sport he played including baseball great ball player

[nightracer]

Whoever doubts Calvin Johnson hasn't been to a Georgia tech game and actually seen him play.

[hondab118]

He's not the best WR. Just watch the UGA last year were he got shutdown. Now, Welcome to the PROS!!!

It's true Calvin was shut down by paul oliver and a couple other CBs from UGA. Every WR or any other football player has good day's and bad day's. I know cause ive been there b4. Will he be good in the pro's? Not much can be said, well cuz he hasnt even been through his 1st NFL 2-a-days. Personally, i think if he stay's consistent and learns the ropes, he will have a very bright future in the NFL.
