Is Calvin the best WR

[503]

I know he's hurt and I know that's going to be used as an excuse...The guy is droppen balls on a Sunday basis right now. He's droppen TD's and 3rd down balls. We know he's big, we know he's fast, we know he's athletic but he sure doesn't have anything close to the best hands in the league. The drop balls are keeping him from being the greatest right now. The way Dez is finding the endzone and making incredible plays for Dallas, you can make a case Calvin isn't the best WR in the game today. Another player with good size and better hands is AJ Green. And we all know Fitz has much and I mean much better hands. Calvin is great and towards the top but with his missed opportunities this year, I don't think we can say he's the best WR in the game.

Of course, you're a homer...How can you honestly say Calvin is the best right now when he's droppen multiple passes in multiple games? He's droppen balls to his chest on 3rd down and in the end zone. I know he has the best attributes at his position but his hands aren't even top 5. That's being real. Everybody is going to drop balls and I understand that but Calvin is droppen too many.

yup cause no other great receiver EVER dropped passes, tard.

So you're best is based on game to game? Go away..

I remember when after 2 weeks, Barry Sanders had 53 yards. Finished with 2053 but I bet no one questioned, including yourself, if he was the best after two weeks..Its just a dumb statement.

Never said that...But I sure hate to see the best have two balls bounce off his chest, one in the end zone and one on 3rd down, on a day he had 3 catches for 25 yards and 0 Td's. Will others drop balls, of course but Calvin is doing it on a consistent basis.

What has he done to be the best? Put up great stats on a 4 win team? I like Calvin, I'm a Lions fans but he needs to do more then put up 1900 yards, when his QB threw it a record time on a 4 win team.

Calvin is doing the same thing he always has, he is fine, go away your an idiot.

There's a difference between not playing the best, currently, and being the best. He gets coverage like no other.

and for the record, he has been targeted 48 times and only has 4 drops.

I hear what you're saying but Green, Fitz and Dez all see the same coverage. You can easily make a case for Calvin being the best WR in the league but it seems like the AJ Greens and Dez are catching up to him. They all have tremendous attributes but I think Green has the better hands, and Dez is more explosive with the ball in his hands. You can't defend neither of those WR one on one. We're lucky to have Calvin but it's hard to say he's hands down the best WR in the game today. Dropped balls are killing him.

As was stated above.. 48 targets, 4 drops. Nothing is killing him.

24 catches, 4 TD's, 4 drops in 5 games.

Dez has only 1 year over 1K yards but he is the best? ya ok. AJ is really good but he is still young, do it over a longer time period and maybe you can consider him in the same breath as Tron. Right now he is top 5 with Fitz being the closest in second.

No they don't. Green and Dez getting coverage like CJ believes me to think you're not watching the same games.

Do you think a catch rate of 50% is good? In comparison Dez is at 63%.

green 69 targets, 3 drops, 4 td's
Bryant 54 targ, 2 drop, 6 td
denarious moore 44 targ, 2 drop, 4 td's

guess denarius moore puts calvin to shame, less drops with just as many td's...dumbass

 

[schles192]

24 catches, 4 TD's, 4 drops in 5 games.

Tron 48 targets 4 drops 50% caught 37.5% first down
AJ G 69 targets 3 drops 53.6% caught 31.9% first down

I don't see how you conclude that AJ is better. Maybe because he doesn't convert 1st downs like Tron, no that can't be it.

Here you go
Dez 54 targets 2 drops 63% caught 48.1% first down
he is having a better year but still not better, not yet at least.
