Hoping for a good game, i.e., week 5 vs. St.L. in order to make him more appealing for a trade, unless the Detroit O is able to turn things around

You read my mind. There is 1 big difference. One gets call the fraud he is, the other.... can another excuse be made for this dude?

Going Mark Clayton, expecting a shoot out in STL today.

I don't know how anybody could ever sit this guy. Insanity

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

Hope nobody really did bench him

 

[Abrantes]

Hasn't Calvin regularly torched the Pack? Doesn't feel right to bench him now.

 

[CaptainHook]

Bump

2 TDs brings out the clairvoyants.

Looks like Shaun finally realized double coverage does not equal covered. The light may be going on here.

 

[hutchins929]

Its either Calvin or Crabtree for me along side Floyd. I see no other choice...

This guy is soooo pissed right now!

Yeah, but he still has never had a 10 catch game.

FINALLY! Just throw him the damn ball, he can't be covered.

I was here last night.

 

[Deaddawg]

I think what we see is the maturation of Shaun Hill. Just throw the athletic freak the ball and he will get it. Unfortunately Stafford will be back in down the line and he will be starting from the same point as Hill did.

I was in the ACF this weekend telling anyone w/ Calvin to play him and anyone w/ Javid to bench him.... so I'm on record, homie.

ETA: In fact, here's the post where I say I'd start him every week (unless injured):

Absent from the discussion or just not on-line?

All this thread needs now is for Johnson to hit 10 receptions.

 

[jon_mx]

Pettigrew couldn't hang on to that one, but has looked very good.

 

[Dr. No]

I'm still glad I didn't draft him.

I might be more inclined to play him next week if I owned him, but it'll probably be back to crap next week.

Their playing the Rams next week...

Rams have yet to allow more than 17 points to an opponent this season, and it's not looking like it will happen today either.

 

[Runningman]

Have to bump the thread about CJ in which I was right. Don't bench him next week either.

I just watched my old vhs tape I have of Barry Sanders. I haven't watched it in awhile and it reminded me of just how great he was and how much he created on his own. The Lions are not feeding their Stud. He is most definately a stud, but I believe they don't give Calvin enough opportunities for big plays. I'd grade them very poorly in that department. When Barry got stuffed, did Fontes stop feeding Barry the ball? Of course not, because you knew eventually Barry would break one.Same thing here, I'd throw the ball up to Johnson all day long. He is a total mismatch for DBs and the Lions don't do squat with him.Wayne Fontes was laughed at in his day but he knew who his stud was and fed him. The Lions do not feed Calvin enough. If he looks covered deep, he isn't, throw it up to him. If Cpepper didn't throw it up to Moss everytime he looked covered he wouldn't have scored on many of those long Td catches that defenders just couldn't stop.He's on my bench AGAIN this week, as I have had this feeling all year long. No catches in the 1st half of week 1 and 1 catch for 7 yards in the first half of week 2. What a freaken joke. Trade him if you're afraid to use him.

Benched him in 2 of 3 leagues, but I am glad that I saw the Lions finally use this guy. For those guys that thought he wasn't a STUD or wasn't as good as hyped, that is not the case. He just wasn't getting used the right way.....as the primary weapon. We saw Detroit stick with him against a very good defense and Megatron came out on top. Keep it rolling Megatron!

looks like i picked the wrong week to start Santana Moss over him - lots of football left to play in Philly though!

I made the same move, Moss hasn't been open all game and Washington has the lead, I don't expect Moss to do much now. Good to see Megatron do well and it looks for me unless Cutler gets 50 plus points against the Giants, I will win in that one anyway. (not that anyone cares)

 

[Manster]

played him. too early to get cute.

 

[dickey moe]

Of course if you own him you play him. Just don't count on WR1 numbers at the end of the season.
