Numbers are pretty impressive considering he only played 9 seasons, :lol:

If Andre Reed can get in, I'm not really sure why Calvin won't get it.

I meant more the ranking each year numbers, not necessarily totals


My man AB is ahead of pace vs Megatron :pimp:

Bingo.

Why there is nothing but 4 verts called every play I'll never know.
Make a bit of a game with this.
Do something.

Need the skills challenge.

And I bet the players would actually enjoy it and try to actually compete
There's only a handful of guys in the pro bowl trying to play. They're all just there for the free Hawaii vacation

Of course.
But I bet these cats would be going balls out for that skills challenge though.
Much more so than this.
 
You don't do HOF off of one damn season

it's about a career.

If one rookie WR goes in and plays one game and somehow scores 4 TDs and 320 yards you don't say OH HOF if he decides to retire after one game.

You don't ask to see his numbers compared to every HOF WR in their first game

Among those to play in at least 100 games, no player has averaged more receiving yards per game than Johnson (86.1).


3rd all time in receiving yards in 9 seasons

1st all time in yards in a season

There are only 7 people with more receiving yards than Calvin who aren't in the hall.

Damn near ever receiving record for the lions.

He may not get in first ballot but I'll be damned if he doesn't get in

Calvin was worth so much more to the lions the the numbers say. :smh: it'll be ridiculous if he doesn't get in because of being on an island of talent by himself

Exactly. Skills challenges could still be competitive, have no risk of injury, and you would legitimately see players show effort. The Pro Bowl in it's current state just doesn't cut it. Past years of course, but the last couple years just show that it can't and shouldn't be played at half speed.
 
Now this is the kind of stat I was looking for

@ESPNStatsInfo: Calvin Johnson currently has 11,619 career receiving yards, 2nd-most in NFL history before a player's 31st birthday

Numbers are pretty impressive considering he only played 9 seasons, :lol:

If Andre Reed can get in, I'm not really sure why Calvin won't get it.

Wouldn't surprise me to see him break this record if healthy next season :lol: :x

‏@ESPNStatsInfo: From 2011-2013, Calvin Johnson caught 302 passes for 5,137 yards and 33 TD

That's the most rec yards over a 3-year stretch in NFL history
