A reminder that the Lions went 0-16 with Calvin "Megatron" Johnson (alien.top)

Just a reminder to the people saying to get MHJ and figure out the qb situation later just how little an all time great, if not the greatest wide receiver ever, has on winning if you don't have a decent quarterback. As great as MHJ might be the return he offers isn't even a fraction to as much as if Maye or Caleb end up being great or even just good. The potential return on investment is just too much to pass up with a qb draft this highly touted.

If the Bears have a top 2 pick they aren't even going to consider MHJ, the only chance is if the Panthers drop to 3 or later where you consider him and then a qb later with our pick.

Yea but if MHJ is anywhere close to Calvin Johnson then we’ll take our chances. Your talking about arguably the best WR in history of the game.

Chances are MHJ lives up to his promise more than the QBs.

That's the risk. But a legit GOAT-tier WR is not more valuable than even a top 10ish QB like a Justin Herbert or Lawrence or Kirk Cousins (How did the Vikes do after the best WR in the game went down this year?). If you could project Maye or Caleb ends up as good as one of those guys, you take one of them over MHJ, especially since we already have a young WR1 locked up.

Agreed. I'm just noting the chance of QBs being busts is going to be higher.

Which is why it's infuriating that we haven't until very recently made an effort to draft them early and consistently. Can't win if you don't play.
