I have suffered thru a lifetime of being a Detroit Lions fan so it isnt easy for me to stick my neck out on the line and say anything great about these guys.


In the 2 pre-season games he has looked like a man playing with boys in the short amount of time he has played. He has looked unstoppable. They say he is tearing up everyone in practice (I know it is Lions defenders, LOL).

He had nagging injuries all last season and is now 100%. Remember his pre draft workout last year was one of the best ever. I think he will have a huge year and help my Lions turn the corner this year (but that is another story for another day). Just remember where you heard this first!!!:lol:

Only problem he'll have is the line giving Kitna enough time for CJ to run his route. One of the most talented WRs in the league for sure.

great point and I am sure the most valid point by most in this discussion but I think the Lions coaches know what they have here and will do whatever it takes to get him the ball.

I hope your wagers are better than your predictions.

CJ will outperform Roy this year no doubt. Roy is the possession man while CJ will hit the Homeruns. Kitna is more than able to pitch to those guys....that Lions running game though is another story.

Top 10? good chance....

Top 20...easy.

Will be interesting to see how the offense changes without Martz there.

Very tough for him to be in the top 10, he would have to be at worst the 3rd best WR in the league this year and i just dont see that

guy is a beasttttt though

Top 10 in MVP? No way. Top 10 WR in the league? Very much a possibility.

Him and Roy Williams might be the best 1-2 punch of WR's in the league right now, and yes that means better than Harrison & Wayne. Chad and Housh, Fitz and Boldin could also make cases, but both those duos have guys that want off their team.

Moss will get called more this year for push offs, but yes I would say he is the best in the business at his position. Welker I'm still not sold on. The guy is great to have on a team, but he is a #3 WR and nothing more. I expect a pretty big drop off from his numbers last year.
