Tate will never be open now, though. I do think the lions pass offense will survive but the pass offense was the only thing they did really well
Tate had his best production while Calvin was sidelined both this year and last

Unfortunately, they weren't good enough to make it on their accomplishments.Only wish that were the criteria. Were that the case, then Terrell Davis, Steve Atwater, Randy Gradishar, and, perhaps, Rod Smith would all be HOF.

Injury prone, downside of his career, if he only attened Rutgers BB would be all over him.yeah.. i don't think Calvin Johnson did anything last year that can't be replaced.. the guy has been injured non stop for the last 3 years. He wasn't himself anymore. he wasn't even a top 10 WR anymore...
Damn were they good at anything?Is that what your mom told you?

What's the matter, the other kids not letting you play chutes and ladders with them tonight?She said that too?
At what?

That's the first thing I thought of too. Lions have written another chapter in the book of NFL for wasting huge players.Damn. Can't say I remember the Barry Sanders situation, but I can't help but compare the two...
Sad to see someone as great as he was go out so suddenly without hardware.

CJ: 149 targets, 88 Catches, 13.8 yards a catch, 65 1st downs, 9 TDsTate can get open on his own. His most productive days are when CJ isn't on the field. And even when they do play together, Tate often gets the throw because he was the proper read, as opposed to CJ who gets the throw simply because he's CJ.
RIP stafford stats
CJ: 149 targets, 88 Catches, 13.8 yards a catch, 65 1st downs, 9 TDs
Tate: 128 targets, 90 Catches, 9.0 yards a catch, 50 1st downs, 6 TDs.
I think most would argue that this past year was Megatron slowing down a bit but for 21 more targets, Megatron got 50% more yards than Tate, 15 more 1st downs and 3 more TDs.
Tate is a good #2 WR. Nothing more.
