DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted August 13, 2011 Chris Carter, ESPN analyst revealed his top 10, and the biggest headline was the fact he had Calvin Johnson all the way down at 7. Carter put six players in his group of elites. In order, they were: Andre Johnson Larry Fitzgerald Greg Jennings Reggie Wayne DeSean Jackson Roddy White When a listener suggested that Calvin Johnson should be ranked on par with Andre Johnson, Carter said: "The only thing they have the same is the name." Carter went on to say: "Calvin Johnson, he's very, very good at Madden and Tecmo Bowl or whatever they're playing now. But on film, when I watch film, and I break down the film, he's not to the point of these guys yet. That doesn't mean he can't play. He just not there yet." --------- "... We're trying to determine greatness and impact on the NFL game. Calvin Johnson, you don't have to double-team him to take him out of the game. Now, I made eight Pro Bowls. I made it with five different quarterbacks. They weren't always great. So I don't want to hear the excuse that I'm not playing with a great quarterback. "Larry Fitzgerald the last couple years, he hasn't played with a great quarterback, but he still gets the numbers. He still gets open. He still makes plays week in and week out. I don't want to hear about the quarterback situation. That's all part of the process. Now, [Calvin Johnson] is a good player. He's just not great yet." ESPN.com I normally don't have a problem with a guy saying stuff like this as long as he has solid claims, and good reasoning to back it up. The only valid reasoning he gave that I agree with is that CJ is inconsistent. It's just an opinion, and it's Chris Carter no less, but i'm above and beyond ticked that he put Desean ahead of CJ.

RazorStar 4,025 Posted August 13, 2011 DeSean is definitely a name that doesn't belong on that list, nowhere near as complete a game, and a one route wonder in comparison to a guy who can get up there and make a difference. Calvin Johnson is the only threat on his offense, he has a worse situation than anyone sans Fitzy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLUE 1,026 Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) Cris Carter is one of the absolute WORST fucking "analysts" on television.... The other night that dumb mother fucker was trying to say that Osi isn't a good pass rusher anymore....yeah, 11.5 sacks (tied for 7th in the NFL) and 10 forced fumbles (#1 overall by 4) last season says otherwise, asshole.... Carter was a great player....shitty analyst, IMO.... Edited August 13, 2011 by BLUE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted August 13, 2011 I dunno... Maybe it's just me... but CC has always been pretty good. But in the last month or so, he has been saying a lot of stupid shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put_The_Team_On_My_Back 1 Posted August 13, 2011 Come on Cris Carter! How can one of the greatest WR's of all time be so damn stupid when it comes to naming the best WR's in Football? Megatron is at least in the Top 5, and this is coming from a Packers fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
