The article says Calvin has 8 drops as well--Reggie comes here and all of a sudden catch catch?

Come on man

I think that is wrong. As far as I know Calvin only has 6. He also has 138 targets. He has a 4.4% drop rate. Oh and the passes that go to Calvin are often under double coverage.

You come on.

I agree. I think we just need to stop the Risk-Reward w/ WRs. I mean when we took Titus Young... the packers took Randle Cobb. Yes Titus Young was more talented... but he was risky. We have to stop that bullshit.

Agree 100%. I dont blame Mayhew at all for the Jahvid pick but the LeShoure is another examples of risk reward that failed hard

I would be for that, but it doesn't look like Mayhew knows how to draft WRs. Broyles and Titus are two of the biggest busts from the second round in recent years so that kind of explains why there is literally no talent outside of Calvin at the WR position.

Calvin obviously we can never get mad at. But Bush has dropped some ridiculously wide open passes. Again, Stafford is finding the guys but they are dropping them because they are not good enough to go up against average CBs

and even when they manage to get open some how. Balls are dropped what the hell lol

I really believe that part of the issue has to be stafford--I think it's his touch--I do believe he's going to get better at it--I mean this is his 3rd season I'll cut him some slack he's not perfect--and don't get me wrong I'm not saying the receivers are not at fault as well--I'm just saying part of it is the qb.

I feel really good about this week on mnf--we kicked ass last time we played mnf--I expect a lot from them this Monday. I also expect packers to lose and a decent chance the bears will lose. That wouldn't clinch but would give us awesome odds going forward

Oh and the risk reward .... Hmmm --that's tough--almost all wrs come with baggage--it's the diva position

Obviously Calvin Johnson is an exception to the rule(and many other rules)

Broyles doesn't have the personality issues(he seems like a great dude)

Hopefully he gets healthy--I was really excited about him coming into this year

I can't wait to see our draft class this year after we win the Super Bowl
