Calvin Johnson, aka Megatron breaks Jerry Rice's record

[Kwon_2]

Even as a relatively young guy, I've seen and played alot of football in my day. Calvin Johnson is a different animal. 6'5 236lbs for a wide receiver is insane. I think a WR of his size, strength, speed and skills would have been unfathomable just 20 years ago. In addition, he's not a diva unlike 99% of other WR and he seems like a good dude.  Finally a guy most will feel worthy of breaking Rice's records. Props.  He's a fucking monster. Well deserved.

i find it a little hard to compare passing statistics from today to passing statistics from 10+ years ago.  passing for a 15 yard gain has become easier than rushing for 5. half the quartebacks in the league are putting up numbers that would have made them the best in the entire league a little over a decade ago. drew brees is putting up numbers that would have put him in the hall of fame if he did it in the 90's.

all that being said, calvin johnson is a fucking beast

True...But when Walsh invented the "west coast offense", it took teams years to figure out how to stop it. Rice was able to put up massive yards because of that system.

I hate to ask a question I could probably answer myself by consulting Google, but fuck, I'm lazy and don't care anymore.

Why is this cat called Megatron?  I mean, I know he's a killer athlete and all, but Megatron, as in 25 feet tall, put a fusion cannon up your nose Megs? 

I don't know for sure. But if I had to guess, i'm guessing the nerds in Fantasy Football had something to do with it.
