Jetsfan80 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I may be going WAY out on a limb here, but Calvin Johnson will be known as one of the top 3 receivers of all-time alongside Jerry Rice and Randy Moss when all is said and done. His QB's this season have been Matt Stafford, Shaun Hill, Drew Stanton, and, once again, Stafford. Throughout, he's produced. Double-team, triple-team....it doesn't matter. He is almost single handedly keeping the Lions afloat. You give him a bad QB, he puts up 80 yards and a touch. You give him a decent QB (like Stafford), he gets 3 TD's. Imagine if he was on the Colts or Patriots? You might as well just give up. His combination of size, speed and physicality are extremely rare. This being the case, there are still going to be some saying Revis can shut him down. I'd say that, even if Revis really is 100 % and back to 2009 form, Megatron is the one receiver in the league that can embarrass Revis version 2009. NFL fans, not just Jets and Lions fans, would be remiss if they missed out on this game and the Megatron-Revis matchup. It's going to be highly entertaining, no matter the result.

THE ILK Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I'm not even sure if he will be the only guy covering Calvin Johnson. Revis has yet to stay on the opponents best reciever all game this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Calvin kicked a$$ at Georgia Tech with a QB in Reggie Ball who probably should have been playing D-III with the knuckleballs he threw. Megatron is sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 He's not even the best Johnson at WR in the league, but he's definitely the most talented. That says alot, because the other Johnson I speak of is on a HOF path himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 ive been telling this forum for the past 3 YEARS that Calvin is better than Andre, or ANY other WR in the league not named Jerricho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revis has yet to stay on the opponents best reciever all game this year. yeah, i don't think Revis will be manned up all day.. little punk slouch can't hang yet While I agree that Cromartie has the ideal height and speed combo to keep with Johnson, he does NOT have the physicality that Calvin does. Either way its a mismatch. If we could just combine the best qualities of Revis and Cro we MIGHT have a corner who can handle Megatron. Maybe.

Maybe. if i make a AFC East All Star Team, at this point, Revis is not even a starting CB. Cro will be on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Brodney Pool is going to have to hold onto one of those INTs he keeps missing to keep Johnson in check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
