    I put it out there so if I'm wrong you guys have the option of finding it with ease. Amazing how little that happens though.

    Calico was a better route runner, used his body better. He was an actual receiver. Still had a ton of issues (eyesight being one of them, for people that don't remember but act like they know), but he was VERY similar to DGB. They're right on the same level coming in.


    You guys acting like DGB is going to come in and be awesome. lol Justin Hunter was MILES ahead of DGB entering the league.

    The issue isn't his height. He doesn't use his arms to go up, so his height doesn't give him much advantage. He's often out-jumped by 5'9 DBs because his verticle is weak and he doesn't reach for passes. Maybe if he ever figures out how to use his size... sure. But right now? He has t-rex arms.

    If his routes are sloppy, he won't be open to make a catch.

    WHAAAATT??? haha Are you watching someone else? This is the biggest knock I have on him. He doesn't know how to use his body and he tries to catch with his pads instead of his hands/extending his arms for it.


    [qouote]I honestly think DGB could have the same impact of Dez Bryant, Calvin Johnson, & AJ Green. He's that type of special.[/QUOTE]

    You did not just speak this dude's name in the same sentence of Calvin Johnson....

    Tell me that did not happen.

    No.

    Yeah, that is false. Calico shot up the draft after he ran sub 4.40. He was projected as a late round pick/UDFA before the combine that year. Much like Chris Conley this year. He was was not considered much of a prospect til he killed it at the combine and pro days. I should know since I was in school at MTSU at that time and actually wanted the Titans to take him.

    Calico was in no shape or form considered a better WR prospect. If DGB didn't have the off-field issues and could have played in 2014, he'd have been a top 5 pick and the 1st WR taken. That's the sort of talent level that he is and how great he is viewed by NFL scouts.

    Yeah, that's false too. This paragraph tells me you haven't watched even one game in his career. And it doesn't match up with ANY of the scouting reports on him either.

    Yet you take credit for predicting Locker busting (largely due to injuries)....I see how that works LOL.

    You seem to say the opposite of what NFL Network says...

    Dorial Green-Beckham measures even with Calvin Johnson - NFL.com

    I heard Mayock during the draft compare him to Calvin Johnson, the only thing that made him slip was his off the field issues. Everyone's been saying that for months man... If I recall correctly they actually pointed out he has a huge catch radius and would go up and grab the ball in their clips.

    The only reason he's being compared to Calvin Johnson is his size, it's the only logical comparison. I hope he ends up half as good as Megatron.....
