a letter to Calvin Johnson...

dear Calvin:your opinion does matter,but no one is listening,when you have close to 1,000 yards receiving(974 yards,going into game with Packers,this Sunday)... you,in my opinion,are one of the best wide receivers,in the NFL,but you have said that every receiver on the Detroit Lions' roster should have 100 yards receiving every game,and you should break Jerry Rice's NFL record 1,848 yards receiving,for the San Francisco 49ers,in 1995,this season... Calvin,you have a shot at that record,but where are the touchdown catches???(you have only two touchdown catches,only one,by Matthew Stafford,and your long gain of a pass is only 51 yards,and you have never had 100 catches,in a NFL season,best season:96 catches,for 1,681 yards,last season)... great numbers,last season,but your yards per catch is down,over a yard,from last season,this season(17.5 yards per catch,last season,to 16.2 yards per catch,this season)... as for the other receivers,Brandon Pettigrew,Titus Young,Jr.,and Nate Burleson,they are not playing up to snuff... they have very good talent,but the Lions have focused too much on you,Calvin,and they do not throw too much to the others,but Pettigrew,and Young drop too many passes,and are too inconsistent,so far,and Burleson is still recovering from a broken leg,and is not the same player that he has been,period,and Matthew Stafford,and the entire Lions' offense,and defense have been very spotty,all season... even though,you are playing the Packers this Sunday,the Packers' defense are not the same defense,as last season(last in NFL,in yards allowed,last season,to 12th overall,this season),and you are being double teamed,most of the season,but honestly the Lions' entire team have been very inconsistent,as in my opinion,the Lions' weaknesses are the defensive backfield,and a lack of a running game,overall,and i hate to remind you,and your team,that you are facing Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers,and a Packers' running game that gained 176 yards on the ground,in their last game,so GOOD LUCK(?),Calvin...
