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.

Exactly which future Bears Quarterback are you comparing to the illustrious 2008 Lions combination of Danute Culpeper in his second to final year starting in the NFL, Dan Orlovsky in his first year starting, and the immortal backup Jon Kitna? This was a year before Stafford was even drafted, and four years before Megatron had his first all-pro season. What a massive cherry picking exercise. I'm not even saying MHJ is the future, but this is some soggy logic.

"Even the worst roster in NFL history had one really good player the season they were historically bad" is a take with exactly zero value.
