      Them, the Browns and Chargers. So many gifted athletes have wasted years with these organizations. Barry Sanders would have just retired with untouchable numbers had he been on the Patriots or Steelers, even Denver. You know, organizations owned by lovers of the game and a drive for a championship, rather than a profit from a game where a championship is cool but a steady profit revenue each year is just fine.

Mike Evans is the most underrated Elite receiver in the league next to MT.... But seeing how Evans has been sharing catches most of his career to a substantial point it's impressive. Jameis has two dudes over 1k receiving right now just imagine if they didn't turn the ball over so much. Evans is no Moss or Megatron but dude deserves more than he gets in the league. I'd say evans has been top 3 the past few seasons and top 5 his whole career.

      @@brendan9868 I agree with you on it. Problem is one was legal in the NFL & one was illegal. Yes they are hyprocritcal. After learning Clavin was smoking weed after every game how is it that the NFL drug testing did not catch it. I am willing to bet they let it slide. He was a big star player & caused zero drama. If he had caused any conflict with the NFL then he would have been suspended. Just like when refs screw teams & favor the same ones all the time. perfect example 2014 playoff game with Detroit & DallasPerfect example of favortism. If you look Suh was getting held & tackled really obviously & badly whole game. Yet not one single call against Dallas. They throw a flag at key part of game for PI against Dallas gives lions first down in FG range. They over turn PI. Guess what Chris Christy was in Jerry Jones private box & has claimed he got that call changed & was in the leagues ear the whole game. Tell me again they do not try to fix games.

    I'm old enough that i watched/followed Barry Sanders and he ended up being my all-time fav player. So, ive been following the Lions for years. When i seen the Lions drafted CJ i was geeked. That dude DOMINATED the nfl. Double coverage, triple coverage...didnt matter. When he retired, first thoughts...Barry Sanders all over again. Megatron was special, once in a generation type wr.

      Their prime was the 1950's Barry would have done just fine. Calvin would have been a non factor since back then hardly anyone threw the ball. Bobby Lane was Lions QB & in 16 years threw for only 26,000 49% completion 196 TD's with 243 Int's. Bobby was the leader in the 1950's for pass attempts & passing yards. They also only played 12 games per year.
