You guys are missing the scout's point. Shitty teams build their team from the outside in. Good teams build their club from the inside out. He acknowledged Calvin Johnson was the best player in the draft, but for a team like detroit he was a luxury pick....especially when you already had a pro bowl level receiver in Roy Williams. That team had far too many holes...A WR can't do anythign for you unless you have an O-line and QB. As it is he's been there for 2 years and hasn't helped them win any games. If he were that good shouldn't they be able to win 1 freaking game? With Joe Thomas the running game immediately gets better, the QB gets better and the receivers get better. With Pat Willis the defense as a whole would be a lot better. In fact, the front office and coach that drafted him (Johnson) have now been run out of town, proving his point exactly. By the time that ball club gets to a level where CJ can actually help them his contract will be up.
