Don't ever want to hear Calvin Johnson is better than Fitz

Calvin Johnson fumbled at the half-yard line and muffed an onside kick to nearly choke away the game this year. I'd say he's one of the most unclutch good players there is. He's a better Joe Johnson of the NFL

Because Joe Johnson had a year with the most ppg in NBA history, and had the most points ever in a game.

so...

has nothing to do with rac/clutch :manny:
Calvin was guarded 1 on 1 by a bad corner most of the game. When that same corner saw Calvin when it mattered and with safety help Calvin was quiet as a mouse. Fitz was possesed all game blocking and receiving. Calvin is a piss poor blocker. He got knocked around in the run game by Brandon Carr in the playoff game last year. These are facts only people who pay attention to the game sees. Calvin only plays to his size when the ball is jump ball situations.

Calvin dominated the Saints by his loneself in his first playoff game but thankfully the Lions D couldn't hang with Saints offense.
It's a damn shame Calvin never got more than two chances to perform in playoff games.

With that said, I'm not taking away from Fitz. Fitz is a legend.


Fitz's '08 playoff run>>>>>Anything Calvin has done in his career.

Fitz dominated every game that year.Put up the greatest post season stats for a WR ever.

And I don't buy the "look at his QB" arguments.We've seen WR's beast with mediocre QB's because medicore QB's depend on their #1 receiver most of the time.

So you're going to be targeted more.

Fitz had 1500 yard seasons with Josh McCown as his QB.And that was with Anquan Boldin on the other side of the field.If he didn't have to share targets with Boldin, he probably could've got 17-1800 yards out there.

Matthew Stafford is much better than McCown.....more than capable of giving Megatron every opportunity to pad his stats.

I'm just saying, players CAN benefit from being the only target out there.Especially talented jump ball dudes like Calvin
