Prime Calvin Johnson or current Antonio Brown?

[Street Knowledge]

How was it a good situation? He's getting doubled and tripled every play with a shyt QB making his job harder and no legitimate other receiving threat. He was their offense.

1.)Most great wide receivers are double teamed
2.)When you have no other receiving threat that means the ball isn't being spread around which means more targets to the number one(Calvin)
3.)They had no run game, a bad defense and a big armed QB who set records for passing attempts. In terms of putting up numbers that's a great situation for a number one WR.
4.)Even if I were to agree with Stafford being a "shytty QB"(He's not) there is a history of wide Recievers still dominating despite have mediocre to terrible talent at the QB position

AB gets clamped in the playoffs though

Better stats than Megatwoplayoffgames

 

[Broad Street Bully]

AB has the most sure hands I've seen in a long time. Consistency is the key and I don't see dude slowing down any time soon. Easily my favorite player in the league (besides Dez ofc :dezclap: ) but even Dez not on AB level

 

[Rekkapryde]

Hard to compare. Could AB do what Calvin did in Detroit? Can Calvin do what AB does in Pitts?

This should tell you what you need to know.

Lions ruined Calvin AND Barry.

see but the question was PRIME megatron

2012

Detroit Lions 16 122 1,964 16.1 122.8 53 5 40 5 92 3



played all games... 122 rec for 1964 yards... 122.8 yards a game... 16.1 yards per catch... 5 tds... 92 first downs


yea i'm going to take him THAT prime year vs any year AB had

and imagine what that year would have been on the damn steelers right now instead of the shytty ass lions

5 TDS IS PATHETIC FOR A SO CALLED GOAT WR.

NOBODY CARES HOW MANY YARDS A TEAM GAINS
IF THEY DONT GET IN THE ENDZONE.

Ab had 136 for 1834 last year. 10 TD's. 71% of his targets were caught. Cal's year that you quoted was 60%

I'm taking AB

put prime megatron on the steelers right now and it would be a wrap, this nikka was getting triple coverage brehs... All fukkin game!! Triple!



I remember that shyt they had line backers, safeties and corners forming up like voltron to cover this dude, yall remember this shyt?

Cmon son.




Who getting that kinda respect/fear right now?

 

[DonRe]

Watch film on Calvin and you will see the kinds of scheme they tried on that boy. Some are very fukkin good but he managed to escape it and get the catch.

AB is just fast and can escape a cb but aint on Calvin level.

In my life the two receivers who transcended top-notch defenses are Moss and Calvin. They are 1a and 1b in my opinion.

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

All those sorry QB's are throwing it to Calvin damn near every play to...

People love to bring up the "he played with a sorry qb" argument for a receiver but never bring up that sorry qb is much more likely to lean on that receiver and throw him the ball damn near every play...I would say that more than makes up for another guy having a great QB like Big Ben...who is to smart to be consistently throwing at a triple covered AB...something Stafford never shied away from doing...

Yep...As a Cardinals fan, saw it so many times with our trash QB's.......John Skelton....Derek Anderson...Kevin Kolb..Max Hall


It was always "Throw it to Fitz"....trying to compensate for their shytiness

 

[Remote]

Calvin.
And it's really not even close.

6'5, 240, running a 4.35 forty.
Great hands.

What's crazy is the talent the Lions drafted in the mid 2000s.

2003: Charles Rodgers
2004: Roy Williams
2005: Mike Williams
2007: Calvin Johnson

Obviously they all didn't pan out. But if they did...

I mean from a raw talent perspective, that's unreal.

 

[Juggalo Fred]

poll started off 5 votes AB and my lone CJ vote

that this place has some common sense

 

[Versa]

It IS kinda whacky that this is a discussion when CJ put up the kinda numbers he did with THAT QB and with THAT coverage.

I miss that man

 

[MAGNETO.]

AB has the most sure hands I've seen in a long time. Consistency is the key and I don't see dude slowing down any time soon. Easily my favorite player in the league (besides Dez ofc :dezclap: ) but even Dez not on AB level

 

[XxBboyxX]

You do realise Antonio Brown has 1834 yards last season right? AND 10 touchdown catches to go with that. He would have broken that record if Ben was healthy all last season, easily.

He had 1700 yards 13 TDs in 2014 as well

And there's the reason Prime CJ >>>>>>

thanks for playing!

No, the last two years he was getting locked up in one on one coverage.

Some teams double teamed him,but there were times he disappeared because he wasn't the same dude anymore.
