Calvin-to-Stafford Favor

[averagejoe]

Greetings Lions fans. Need a favor. I can't seem to find the exact yardage that Megatron and Stafford have connected on.

Help? (And if you can provide the link or site where you found it.) Appreciate it.

 

[averagejoe]

Did find that Stafford threw 56 of his 163 touchdowns (34%) to Calvin on ProFootball ref. Still can't find exact yardage between the two.

 

[Stomp]

Heres a link to the numbers for 2014

Stafford is a product of Calvin. /s • /r/detroitlions

I'll try and find there career numbers for you

8325 is what I came up with.

NFL’s most prolific QB-WR duos by the numbers

Using the link above which went through the end of the 2013 season then adding all of Calvin's yards from 2014 and 2015. The number is a little high because Stafford got benched for a half of a game in 2015.

After 2008 I'm pretty sure Calvin was part of ONE Lions win without Stafford.

Stanton won in Tampa.

I'm not sure how to get their totals together without going thru each game that Staff missed in 09 and 2010.

The really important numbers now are Stafford to Tate.

The really important numbers now are Stafford to Tate.

Are four yard passes THAT important?

This didn't have them in the Top Ten of current duos. Ouch.

Calvin had 5-67 and no TDs that day. I know atleast 23 of those yards were from DanO. It was his first completion since 2012.

I don't remember Calvin ever throwing a pass to Stafford.

I don't care what his career stats are against everyone else, I just know he torched the Bears, regularly.









So, in that vein.....

Tate gives you 4 yards a car

Pretty much how I felt when Urlacher retired.

Had I known that Stomp, Obx and Smitty would answer, I would have stayed on the FF board to ask. I figured this would be common knowledge among Lions fans.

Yeah. Here we're more concerned with wins. Stats are for fantasy football.

We're known as casual fans here. The passionate guy left. Go ask him at koolaid.com.

 

[RobBase]

It's a conspiracy against filthy Bears fans.

 

[averagejoe]

Well, the last 3 years Calvin averaged 1261 yards per season. Someone on the Lions has to get a share of that. Right? I don't trust Tate to be the WR1. Will it be Ebron to finally shine? Or do the Lions bring in a free agent?

I don't think Megatron's retirement will translate well for the Lions offense. You can't just plug in another guy and expect him to be as great as Calvin.

Don't think you have easy wins yet. We still have Joique Bell.
