He's 27, how is he nowhere near his prime? This is his prime.

I feel sorry for no man who plays football for millions of dollars. If i was only five inches taller, 35 ponds heavier, 3 seconds faster in the 40, could catch, and was alot stronger i could have been a contender!

No 29 is his prime. He is always healthy.
Edit: NC you dont like to give credit where credit is due. Lol.

NFL prime years are 25-30 well that's what it says in madden.

In all fairness both teams were trending upward when they signed, also they could have jumped ship and signed elsewhere. Something to be said for loyalty.

Arizona made a huge blunder in acquiring their QB (Kolb) and Detroit has basically the same team from last year. I don't think you can solely pin these teams' loses on the WR contracts.

If i was starting a franchise tomorrow he would be my number one choice at wr. Look what he does on Detroit. Rice was great, but he had hall of famers all around him on both sides of the ball. I cant even imagind what CJ would have done on say SF in the 80's. my God.

He's the best by far right now. Aj Green is becoming that elite guy also though .

Totally. CJ reminds me of Barry Sanders. Plays on a not so great team and everyone keys on him yet he still gets it done.

Wonder if he'll ever ask to be traded

I'm not to going to give anybody credit for a statement claiming a man 27 years old and 6 years into his pro career as "no where near his prime". He is in his prime, and in fact this will be his peak year. I'm willing to bet 100 dollars right here and now to back this claim up. He will not top these numbers (yardage) again. His prime will run to about 30 and then father time will kick in. With his ability, CJ is probably be very good until about 32.(providing no injuries)



Congrats to CJ though, but it's still all for nothing. Who cares if he gets 3,000 yards if his team still stinks. It seems to me the Lions are shooting for the wrong record. Instead of team record in wins and losses, they chose to pursue a individual record. It was evident by CJ's interview the other week when personnel on the team came to him about the record.
