Clowney

his first couple years several analysts were critical of CJ for drops and his production compared to how many targets he was getting. I remember chris carter wouldn't even put him in his top 5 because of it. he had a major problem with converting targets into catches....soooo....by your definition....the 2nd half of the year hes regressed back to his old self production wise. Id actually say its worse than back then cause hed just streak down field and make up for it with a 60 yard bomb.....he doesn't do that anymore.

He's been hurt!! lol. What do you expect? CJ is taking a beating this year. And you act like this is it for Calvin with your "he doesn't do that anymore" bullshit. Over 1400yds and 12 TDs, man ....he's doing the damn thing.

If he doesn't do it anymore cause hes injured...I get that! But the fact is he doesn't do it anymore lol. Hes not the vertical threat down field like he once was. We don't even try it. Im convinced Stafford cant even throw the ball over 10 yards anymore....haven't seen it in forever lol.

But CJ is injured. We'll find out how severe it is after the season. How do you figure he isnt the vertical threat he once was? How many deep balls has he caught this year? Quite a few actually. What year do you think youre in, buddy? lol.

Calvin got hurt and this offense changed. Thats when Stafford started struggling. The offense as a whole did actually. When your only deep weapon is Ogletree, youre fucked lol

Seems like theyve been cursed at the WR position for years eh lol.
 
37 catches on 77 targets the last 7 games....its not good. 48 % completion rate. 5 losses. 5 TDs. 37 catches in just about half of a year.....pedestrian for calvin. That's why I said he regressed. And the people that just start giving excuses saying hes injured.....in a backwards way youre agreeing with me. Im not saying hes not injured....im just simply saying his production is down and hes not impacting the game like he has before. To me that's regressed. I agree it probably because hes injured and staff sucks....but its still regression.

Again the guy throwing him the ball has been at 52% the past 7 games. I'm not sure you understand the term 'regressed'. Either you don't our I don't but the fact he's still the best WR in the NFL.

regressed in my definition is not playing up to the very high bar he has set for himself....below par.....not living up to expectations....lower production...etc etc etc. So if im using it wrong I apologize.....I tried showing about 500 different examples of what I meant....even trying to explain that hes back to his old criticisms of dropped balls and failing to convert targets to catches.

Dude, you're the only one on the planet who thinks Calvin has regressed. THE.ONLY.ONE.

He has some big drops. As far as not enough targets caught you'd need to dig deeper. Where were those targets, catchable - did he have to stop and turn around, were they 8 feet over his head, were they on target etc.? I'm not re-watching games to figure it out. Until that time I'll assume he was still a beast.

So youre ok with 37 catches on 77 targets for the last half of the year? And you see nothing wrong with those numbers, or his drops? Im just trying to understand cause youre such a Stafford apologist......so if Stafford is throwing the ball perfect all the time....then why the fuck cant calvin catch anything? Or is mitch right and Stafford is all to blame?

Btw, I never said he was all to blame. More so than CJ IMO.
 
ya, you did....like 50 times. Theres 10 pages of you blaming Stafford actually....go read lol.

Just because I criticize him and only him doesn't mean I only blame him. But he gets the biggest blame, he's the quarterback.

I'll give you one guess on why CJ isn't a vertical threat, because our QB blows.
