Calvin Johnson's Game Versus the U . . 10/28

[Kdawg954]

He did good man, he definetly is a beast . . . 6'5 with a 45 inch vertical and 4.35 speed . . . and he catches the ball with his hands. I mean I haven't seen a WR with those kind of intangibles . . . EVER. He is the real deal. But I must say the Canes did a pretty good job on him, but Reggie BAll is fairly inconsistent throwing the rock . . . would love to see this kid with a pure passer throwing to him. Trust me, if Miami has the chance to draft this kid, I don't think twice about it. I don't care, u can't pass up this kind of talent. This is the Reggie Bush of WR's, a can't miss pick IMO. And with this being Ball's last season . . . I think CJ will go in early as well . . . he is a definite top 3 pick as we speak.

I think he had like 70 yards receiving and a touchdown, but his biggest role was a decoy. Everytime he flinched, the whole secondary jumped . . . he really stands out.

thanks....I haven't seen him yet. Sounds impressive

I said it on this board during his first nationally televised game his rookie year...he has the potential to have a Randy Moss like impact in the NFL (remember Randy's rookie season, when he looked like a man among boys? BEFORE he was traded to the Raiders wasteland )...I got laughed at.

when would you say was the last time a WR of his caliber was available in the draft ? Fitzgerald and R.Williams were bigtime prospects but this guy seems better.

Calvin Johnson is outstanding. Whatever team(s) pass on him are idiots.

He is amazing but you are making him sound like a god.

He is no where near the talent of Randy Moss. Randy Moss was 6'4 with 4.25 40 and 50 inch vert.

The announcers were wrong today, Johnson is 6'5 but only runs a 4.45-4.5 with closer to 40 vert.

He had 2 drops today and the only time he got the ball was when he was matched up against little 5'10 CBs. He wasn't double covered much at all, I only saw maybe 5 times all game. He had a very average game(for him at least)

That being said, he did have a very inconsistent QB throwing the ball to him.

Well, unless your Arizona, who may have a Top 3 pick yet an elite set of receivers.

There are several potentially great players in this draft. Adrian Peterson is MUCH better than Reggie Bush.
I had never seen CJ play until today. He's a good player due to his size, but he's not quick or explosive. I don't think he's going to revolutionize the WR position in the NFL.
The Jags have a similar player in Matt Jones and he's only had intermittent success. Granted he hasn't played the position as long as CJ, but Jones ran a legit sub 4.4 at the combine.

Better than Bush?? i dont know about that one. He is also very injury prone

 

[Majpain]

He runs a 4.4. He is a must have. The guy is like Moss and TO combined!!

 

[Dors156]

The one thing that disturbs me on that is on every catch he's got a CB on him. Suggests he may be more of a possession receiver in the NFL cause it doesn't look like he gets seperation (at least not in terms of out running CB's).

I agree the kid (C. Johnson) has great talent, but which "pure passer" on the Dolphins is going to throw to him, and who's going to protect that "pure passer" so C.J. can get downfield. Reciever is not a problem issue with the Dolphins, we don't have the cream of the crop (besides Chambers), but it's still not a problem issue. We need an anchor player in the draft who can make an immediate and every down impact such as D-line, O-line, QB, SS, or LB. The Dolphins need a new engine not just a fancy hood ornament.

Please don't make the mistake of confusing combine numbers with talent. Anquan Boldin runs a 4.65 and has a world of talent. Also...the 50 inch vertical for Moss sounds like an unrealistic number.
