im not looking down on marino.

He was one of the great QBs that never won anything.

Can't speak for him, but I understood his point to be that Marino was one of the great QBs who never won anything (except an AFC Championship and lots of division titles) and Megatron was one of the great WRs who never won anything, ergo Megatron was the Marino of WRs. Which is funny since the Lions also had Herman Moore (who combined with Brett Perriman as the NFLs first PAIR of 100-reception WRs,) but that was before Falcos time.

thats true. Even Marino was in a cpl AFC champ.

megatron made the playoffs twice in a first round exit?

I believe that's correct, yes. Plus he gave us the Calvin Johnson Rule; wish we could retire THAT.

LOL why don't you just come out and say it dude? We all know you are implying that CJ's team's success should somehow put him behind Bruce and Holt in the HOF pecking order. It would be an absolutely retarded point, though, and you know it, so that's why you aren't just outright saying it.

CJ stats : 11,619 yds. 83 tds.


Bruce stats: 15,208 yds. 91 tds.

Torry Holt stats: 13,382yds 74 tds.


Werent people telling me in other thread, the only thing that matters is numbers?

Would you care to compute their average stats per season then come back to us? Obviously his total stats will be less since he retired early.

HOF is about career. Which is why TD has not gotten in.

Even though he should be in.

It just blows my mind though. To me, he's maybe the best of all time at his position, like Barry Sanders. You've gotta wonder if something is in the water in Detroit.
