Calvin Johnson Will Get 2000 Yards Receiving This Season

[Hardcore_D00d]

Oh... So 1 defended pass is all it takes?

u cant be srs.

2010
New York Jets vs. Detroit Lions
Darrelle Revis vs. Calvin Johnson

Calvin Johnson stats: 1 reception, 13 yards


luckily lions and jets dont meet much so revis could dominate him.

If this were to happen it would pretty much put an end to any thought of a madden curse.

If he has a bad week during the championship game for fantasy football, or any other small misfortune for that matter, you know those retarded Madden Curse believers will come out and claim it is the Madden Curse.

[TheCholo]

Calvin Johnson isn't that hard to cover srs. He has bad hips and is a mediocre route runner.

Moss was much harder to cover with his sprinter speed and hands of glue.

[IawI]

He plays the Bears, Packers, and Vikings 2 times each this season. I think this is very realistic.

[Amaso]

I think theres a pretty solid chance (20-30%) that he will go over 2000, assuming Stafford also plays 16 games. The dude is a MONSTER and this should be his best year with Stafford.

[ElMariachi]

The lack of a threat on the ground leads me to believe defenses will be allowed to keep even more eyes on Megatron.


I don't see it happening.

This, OP is being goofy. Teams will focus on the passing game and dare the Lions to run on them. If they start forcing the ball into Megatron they're going to be tacking on a lot of turnovers to go with touchdown's.

[JaxBrah]

Madden curse brah. He will be lucky to get 200

[CaliiforniaLove]

At their best, Calvin>>>>>>>>>Moss.

Hilarious.

[Hengman]

In b4 he receives only 200 yards the season due to major injury from the Madden Curse.

A 20-30% chance of 2k yards? I'll have what you're smoking.

[FryDude]

How bout no. He'll def. repeat..

Since when is 20-30% solid?

lol true story

[mentalmark]

1500 yards this season, i am very confident he wont surpass last years numbers. When do you see an athlete have a record breaking season, then surpass it the following year? Almost never happens. The odds are against CJ to match last year.

[cor030]

Hilarious.

Calvin probably will have a better career because by all accounts he isn't slack/headcase/etc like Moss was.

That said, if Moss had Calvin's attitude throughout his entire career, motherofgod.jpg at the possibilities, which is saying a LOT considering how ****ing good his career already is.

and I'm still seriously lmfaoing at "20-30% chance" of shattering an all time record by almost 200 yards.

[kethnaab]

lol, so many people in this thread don't think he can even be close... Holy crap, some of you are very close minded and not very analytical.

less that than simple history. There's only so much an even 'unstoppable' player like Johnson can do. as dominant as he is/was last season, he still had games of 29 yards, 49, 69, and 29.

For every 29 yard game he posts, he needs to post a 225 yard game to make up for it.

125 yards per game is absolutely insane for a WR for an entire season

consider this. He has 11 games of 125+ yards receiving in his entire career. He has 23 games with < 50 yards receiving. Even last season, his 'best' effort was 4 consecutive games > 100 yards receiving, and only 2 of them were over >=125
100 yards receiving becomes a 'bad game' that needs to be made up for with a 150-yard game, and he only had 2 of those last season.

that's just the nature of the position.

Yeah. I mean, there have been thousands of WRs that have never achieved 2000 yards receiving in the entirety of the NFL, so it's not like this is a done deal. I'm just saying if anyone can do it it's Calvin, and I do think he has a fair shot to reach this milestone, as long as that offense stays healthy. Calvin makes plays no other WR can make in the game today and is just getting started IMO. He's had one real season with Stafford and he gets double teamed every game and he has been for years. That won't stop him from putting up huge numbers. A perfect pass to Calvin beats perfect coverage every time.

I think Julio Jones reaches 1600 yards receiving this season too. He is going to put up HUGE numbers as well.

[Ben6485]

stafford is my FF QB this season....hhhnnnnnnnnnnnggggggg

[phillyfreak7]

Calvin Johnson averaging 123 yards a game so far, which would put him at 1968 for the season. Finished with 168 yesterday in the 2nd half. Even with being double-teamed and Stafford being inaccurate.

[EastCoastNiner]

Interesting.

[SteezeFactory]

Needs 1400 yards in 10 games. Stay safe OP.

[phillyfreak7]

Needs 1400 yards in 10 games. Stay safe OP.

Stafford has been horrific this season so far. Yes, it's looking unlikely, but of course it will after a game where he only has 34 yards receiving. If he goes out and gets 200 receiving next week (he's playing the Seahawks, so highly, highly unlikely), 1200 in 9 games is nearly on pace for 2000.

Calvin is going to need 3, maybe even 4 200 yard games this season I think to get close to that number. That's asking a lot, but like I said, if there is a player that can do it, it's Calvin.

But seriously, Stafford has been terrible. Without Calvin, that might be the worst offense in the league.

[fly4navy117]

If you bet against the Madden curse, you're going to have a bad time.

[broboma2012]

Oh I get it now, you're a Bears' fan. You are gonna be mad when Calvin averages 150 yards a game vs that overrated defense.

lol. i guess he may 270 yards or so his next game though

[phillyfreak7]

lol. i guess he may 270 yards or so his next game though

I couldn't have been more off on that prediction. The Bears' defense is sick.
