Calvin Johnson 2 For 2

I hope you caught the slight sarcasm in the title. I'm starting to warm up to the idea that CJ is Ocho Cinco, Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison, and Terrell Owens all rolled into one, except maybe better. But he's still a rookie.

He will improve the Detroit Lions, of that I have never had much doubt. It's one of the reasons I'm so high on Kitna this year. But I don't think he'll break 1,000 yards or 10 TDs.

The 6-foot-5, 239-pound receiver displayed his speed and savvy on his first
catch, sprinting and settling into a spot behind a cornerback and in front of a
safety. On the next play, Johnson used his body and leaping ability to shield
first-round pick Leon Hall for a 21-yard reception that was the second and final
ball thrown to him.

I like your point. It's amazing the number of GMs reaching for Calvin Johnson in my drafts, when the smart money should have seen that the biggest impact would be an improvement in Kitna's value. BTW, they didn't look all that good out there. Hopefully that's just pre-season rustiness. I have Kitna in most of my leagues because I can get him cheap, after I get my RBs and WRs.
