I have seen enough of his games to say, that, its an idiotic statement to say he doesn't get seperation or isn't tough. He might be injury prone a bit, if thats what lack of toughness is, other than, Calvin is a stud.
ONly reason he is not better is because of the QB situation. But when Stafford is in, he shows up as the stud he is.
realtick;3703506 said:Dear Cowboy homer,
Thanks for your reply. I have to ask though, what's your point? It was your fellow homer (YR) that claimed Miles "really hasn't struggled this year."
I appreciate the strawman that you propped up though, you know, insinuating that I think WRs should have "100 yard games every single week."
Nope, I would say when your No. 1 receiver (Miles Austin) puts up weeks of 2 for 20, 2 for 12, 3 for 38 and 2 for 16, and not to mention not scoring in any of those games, that's struggling.
See, I believe good players can struggle, the great ones just do it less frequently than others.
BTW, that 1 rec. for 13 yards was certainly a poor game for Calvin Johnson. In all fairness though, it's tough when your starting QB gets knocked out and you have Drew Stanton throwing against Derelle Revis. Oh, and in two of those games you mentioned Johnson scored.
Sincerely,
A sane, rational, reasonable board member and football fan.
realtick;3703086 said:Lol, what a bunch of utter nonsense.
Its Calvin, and we have a WR on this roster thats better than either of emrealtick;3702666 said:Just for fun, but who do you take if you had the choice of making Dez Bryant or Calvin Johnson your team's No. 1 receiver?
We all know how great Dez has been in the short amount of time he's been here.
Don't sleep on Calvin Johnson though. His exploits don't get shown too much because he plays in Detroit and has been teamed with horrid QB's most of his brief career (things may change with Stafford).
Your thoughts?
Yakuza Rich;3703725 said:If Miles is struggling soooo badly, why does he have better stats than Calvin Johnson, the player you tout as being soooo much better than Miles.
Miles: 47 catches 725 yards 2 TD's 63% catch rate
CJ: 49 catches 679 yards 9 TD's 56% catch rate
Or how about last season?
Miles: 81 catches 1320 yards 11 TDs, 65% catch rate
CJ: 67 catches 984 yards 5 TDs, 49% catch rate
So, since 09, the comparisons are:
Miles: 128 catches 2045 yards, 13 TDs, 64% catch rate
CJ: 116 catches, 1663 yards, 14 TDs, 53% catch rate
Gee....I wonder who I would take here

NeonDeion21;3702773 said:None of those WR's produced right away like Dez has. The one thing about Dez to keep in mind is that he really only played 1 full year of college football. The sky is truly the limit for him.

ShiningStar;3703442 said:my god, are we really arguing the grass is ALWAYS Greener on the other side?
Let me sum up "IM NEVER HAPPY WTH MY TEAM UNLESS THEY ARE THE BEST AT EVERY POSITION AND WE ALWAYS DRAFT LOSERS"
There ya go for the OP and anyone whos not happy or thinks every other WR is better than ours.
ZeroClub;3703893 said:I haven't watched Calvin play - just highlights. Very impressive.
Dez has great physical talents and ability, and I especially like his intensity.
Fans keep on talking about how the Cowboys need leaders. Dez looks like he has the kind of fire that can ignite an entire team. And this is a team sport.
So even if Dez isn't the equal of Calvin on some measurables, I really like the intangibles that Dez promises to provide in later seasons ....
