He's amazing but I think that price is too steep. It would have been nice to see him take a hometown discount.

All I'm saying is he isn't Montana. I mean, when I say Calvin is the best, naturally you look at me & say "Jerry?". But QB's make the careers of WR's.

Yes they did have a choice. They overpaid some. Tell the fans that they need to spread the wealth around, their still need more help on lb's & secondary. Don't be like the rams & dolts who only got 1 SB to show for them spending nearly everything on offense. The Lions weak defense was the main reason they went 0-16 in 2008.
