Lions looking for WR

[RobBase]

Mebert are you serious? Never said he should be elite, but he should get more than 3 fucking TDs in a year. James Jones had 14 for the Pack last year for Christ's sake. Nate wouldn't even be a Lion right now if Titus hadn't melted down. Dude is worthless, just like his player evaluations.

 

[broncosmitty]

Nate got 3. CJ got 5. I forget how many Mike Thomas had though. I lost count.

 

[RobBase]

Even Denerius Moore of the Raiders has better stats than Burleson and he was 5th round pick. That's pathetic.

That's true about Calvin but wasn't there some report that he was tackled inside the 2 yard line 6-8 times last year? I'll try to find it.

Mike Thomas is good for at least 1 TD a year. That's why Shaq Harris traded for him. Once his ceiling hit 0, he became expendable.

 

[broncosmitty]

I think MikeD told me once that it was 9. That's why LeShoure had such a sneaky productive rookie season.

 

[Mebert]

He was hands down the second best option on the team for 2 years. I imagine a lot of people would see TD's decline playineg next to 3 people that are over 6'5".

Not great, but still the second best option on the team, who else during that time was as good as him on the Lions? Titus Young for sure would have been, but he went crazy. Fact is outside of Calvin Johnson, Burelson has been the only other consistent option the team has had.

Oh good, you managed to find a late round draft that has excelled, this has never happened before.

In other news, Jamaal Charles has been out performed by Arian Foster. Foster was undrafted! Charles is a joke!!!!!

If you combined calvin and leshoure....would you get a mike thomas clone?

2000 Receiving yards....check
14 TD's.........check
400 yds rushing......check

My favorite outside of cj is sheffler!!!!


Love me some scheff

Staff to sheff for the scorrrrrrrre.....roooooaaaarrrrrrr

 

[LPinSLC]

Scheff has gone down hill fast. He and Stafford rarely seem to be on the same page these days.

 

[Old Lion]

Scheff has been playing like he is in a fog. A pass hit him in the ass last game. Fauria will be better than Scheff at his best by next year.

Burleson is nothing more than a cheerleader. Even Durham and Willis will pass most likely pass him soon.

They just happened to be talking about him on ESPN when I replied. I'm sure if I took the time, I could prove Burleson is one of the worst no.2 WRs in the league. How many of his yards were in garbage time? Guy does nothing to take coverage off Calvin, doesn't score, and has the biggest mouth on the team. Im sure his stellar evaluation of Edwards has put him in the drivers seat to become Mayhew's next top scout.

 

[RobBase]

And Arian Foster owes his success to Gary Kubiak's elite run blocking schemes. He's literally this decades Terrell Davis. Kubiak will always have top RB's. Just look at Ben Tate when he plays. Guy is awesome. How come nobody ever tries to trade for him? Because Kubiak doesn't come with him.

 

[broncosmitty]

I always felt so alone in my lack of believing in Foster. He'll be there at six tonight, if he's still there at five.

If he sticks around long enough, he might be in line to take over for Mayhew. Why was Nate being talked about on TV?

 

[Rollingthndr]

Remember not too long ago when Burleson sent out that tweet about how Edwards was going to have a huge season? Burleson has wore out his welcome here far as I'm concerned. No one talks more and produced less.

Burly has been taking notes from old man Gunny who thinks every player on defense is all pro.

 

[RobBase]

They were talking about Moore. They just happened to show his stats the past two years as I was typing up my first reply to Mebert. I forget what they were talking about but I bet a million bucks the WR the Lions just took in the 5th round will be no Moore.

 

[tpaulus_2]

Who was talking about which Moore? Herman, Kellen? Too many different debates going on for me to keep up on wtf we're talking about...

Broyles was a better receiver than Burleson had ever been for the Lions from day 1. If he can just stay on the field.
