Calvin Johnson Talks About Breaking Jerry Rice's Single Season Record | A Football Life

[@fromulus]

Calvin Johnson, Barry Sanders, two of my all-time favorite players that left too soon, and I'm a Patriots fan. Calvin's such an awesome dude, I'm glad he's seemingly happy.

CJ left at the right time. He was a broken skeleton.

Imagine having Matthew Stafford throwing to Calvin Johnson and you fail to build a team around them. One of the saddest things in sports.

Idiots wanted to trade Stafford for years. Used to annoy me so much.

The other 4 aren't as big, strong, or as fast. So he wins.

[@PTTLRD]

@@davidbarber3821 unfortunately Moss exists, don't get me wrong though, If CJ had a longer career as Moss he probably would've been better (CJ & RM had 6 pro browls while RM had more seasons, CJ had 3 seasons with 100 yards per game while RM had 1, RM has more Touchdowns 156, and yards 15292, while CJ had 83 with 11619, this definitly shows that if CJ had more seasons he would've been better than RM. At one point CJ almost had 2 seasons with 2000 yards. But RM had Tom Brady as a QB) Edit: at most he would be #2nd and #1 moss
