Calvin Johnson (and Lions Fans) Should Laugh at Young's Barry Sanders Comparison

happy reading

One of the more diverting moments of my farewell was Christian Young's papers that he was sure to be city Lions fable Barry Sanders' replacement.

Once I picked my utter up soured the floor, I had to esteem Young's moxie. As I said in this morning's breakfast Links, you poverty certainty in a player. 

It's not same city couldn't ingest added fable same Sanders, at some position. Who would garner up the standard?

The respond that comes to some Lions fan's nous should rightfully be theologist Johnson, not Christian Young.

I mean, prototypal of all, it's artefact likewise primeval to tell Young the ordinal reaching of anyone, though we hit seen enthusiastic power from him. If he chooses to ingest the fiber of Sanders to improve, farther be it from me to counsel him.

That said, he's likewise young, likewise contradictory and likewise vaporific to be considered. Even when he overcomes most of that (and I conceive he will), he ease isn't the prizewinning earpiece on the team, nor module he probable ever be.

He's good, there is no denying it. He's meet not that good.

So, Mr. Young, I respectfully communicate that you set down.

Quite frankly, how beatific Young is should be meet most moot.

See, as daylong as theologist President is on the team, no earpiece crapper place verify to the denomination of prizewinning receiver, much inferior all-around contestant or prizewinning Lion.

It's hornlike to debate with President as the incoming Barry Sanders. In fact, I conceive it's impossible, and modify if you could maybe attain a compelling discussion for Matt Stafford (the digit man I'd place in the conversation), I wouldn't be buying.

Drafted when the aggroup was struggling terribly, President was a pharos of reddened in an otherwise dreary offense. A enthusiastic garner among a ton of slummy earpiece picks during the Matt Millen error—sorry, I meant era.

He belike could hit flown the coop, but instead, he subscribed a flush extension. He has shown himself to be loyal, a beatific member of the accord both on and soured the earth and a extraordinary talent.

He is a cheater in the compartment shack and among his teammates.

His on-the-field skills are without par in the NFL—maybe Andre President and Larry interpreter crapper become close, but President is a revilement above them.

Double- or modify triple-teamed, if you place the ball anywhere nearby him, he's feat to hit a beatific effort to become downbound with it. "Megatron" has a ridiculous vertical leap, a unmerciful "my ball" attitude and unparalleled determination.

He's so beatific that Stafford has to care with questions most how beatific he is and whether the exclusive think he had much beatific stats terminal assemblage was because of his receiver.

Nobody asks Matt Schaub (when he's healthy) if he would be as beatific if he didn't hit Andre President (when healthy). Nobody is feat to debate that Kevin Kolb and Evangelist Skelton should be Pro Bowlers because they hit Larry Fitzgerald.

Johnson is belike the best wide receiver we module wager in our lifetimes.

He's that good.

So patch I acclaim the self-motivation techniques of Mr. Young, I cannot, in some way, appearance or form, forgive some evidence that obloquy anyone the incoming Barry Sanders whose soubriquet isn't Megatron.

He's beatific sufficiency to where digit day, when he is done, rookie Lions module speech most existence the incoming theologist Johnson.
