LOL at anyone thinking Megatron would give Prime that work...must be a lot of people in this thread who just started watching football since Calvin been in the league...Prime is the end all be all of a shutdown corner...
I see all these post about Megatron using his size and speed...but I seen Prime repeatedly stuff Hall of Fame receivers at the line of scrimmage...I seen the Andre Rison's, Jerry Rice's and Michael Irvin's of the world have to work just to get off the line of scrimmage from Prime...somehow this gets over looked in his game...I don't think people really realize how physical his brand of play was...you can't even do the stuff in the league prime used to do...I seen Prime just ride receivers smooth out of bounds before they ran 5 yards downfield for an entire half...
Prime also had unreal speed and agility...whatever Megatron is going to do against Prime he is not going to do it by beating him down field...I seen safeties catch Calvin in the open field...Prime was one of the fastest people to ever put on football pads...
Even funnier...if Prime was just covering him right now...he'd roast Calvin...cause Calvin has Doofus Stafford throwing him just jump balls most of the game, and prime is just going to be to fast and athletic to not be in position to get those...
The only reason why this is even debatable is cause of Calvin's size...cause however fast he is supposed to be he is not even in the same stratosphere as Dion was in his prime when it comes to speed...and Calvin route running is a joke...and I don't even know if that is because he is just not a good route runner or because Stafford pretty much just throws him lobs all day...but Dion would eat him alive cause of those sloppy routes...he'd be in and out of his cut breaking on a ball before Megatron even turned around...
Only player I can see maybe given Dion that work would be Randy...Cause Randy had track speed and when he was really into the game was a really good route runner...and even then the qb throwing to randy is gonna have to be Joe Montana or Brady or some other sure fire hall of famer...somebody who can throw a perfect pass every time...if Culpepper is the QB then Prime would own that matchup to...
Megatron is a very impressive receiver but people get to caught up in his Megatron nickname and highlights. I've seen him drop more than his fair share of passes...I seen Tillman just shut this nikka completely out before...and I can't remember a receiver who causes more picks by catching it, taking a funny spin and then the ball is flying out his hands into the air...dude is definitely a great receiver and either the best or second best right now ( behind or in front of Dez )...but his entire game is based on his height and his athleticism... if he was 6 "1" running routes like he does you'd be trading him for cap space on the newest madden game or picking him up off waivers when all your other receivers got hurt in your fantasy league...
