T.O us better than moss

Moss was faster, taller, a higher jumper, and had better hands. A lazy route runner, but route running is like defense in basketball, it's 50% effort anyways. Only thing you can give T.O. over Moss is strenght and maybe YAC, but with the latter you also have to consider that a lot of Moss bombs were caught in the endzone.

Both players had the ability to play for several more seasons.


One player had teams that were willing to sign him even as a decoy but he declined.

One player was holding press conferences and struggle workouts where no one showed up begging any and everybody to sign him.

Calvin speed is overrated too. All that 4.3 speed and he stayed getting hawked down.
:comeon:Post examples, anything from the past few years was due to leg injuries/playing hurt, you can thank Stafford for that. Lions fans knew something was wrong when he couldn't shake tackles and take those slants to house anymore. Even with that you STILL wouldn't want to single cover Calvin, he set the receiving record playing hurt.

Cant put him over TO or Harrison cause of the longevity factor. But it will probably be a long time before we see someone 6'5 240 with 4.3 speed. He was a predraft workout wonder who ended up actually living up to expectations. Just wish he would have gave us another season or two.
