Calvin Johnson has shown potential, but he has only started to see significant playing time the last 3 or 4 games. The dude does drop alot of 3rd down, and endzone balls though. I agree that it's to early to call him in a bust, but next year will be crucial for him, I think you'll be able to tell this time next year if he will make it in the NFL.

Well, for a guy you called not a bust in Mike Williams, Calvin Johnson has more TD's than he has combined for his whole career.
huh?
I didn't call CJ a bust, I said he could become one because he has back problems and he's dropping balls. DJ catches everything but he hardly gets playing time, watch out for him next season when he's the Panthers #2 and isn't spending most of the season on the inactivate list. Big Mike can't seem to catch anymore.....
I usually give a guy at least 3 full seasons before I call them a bust, even more if it's because of circumstances....bad o-line, horrible QB, injuries....
I understood but like I said, if he was good, he would be playing right now.
I was under the impression that Jerrett was not one of those project players and if somebody drafted him, he's skills will be roughly the same.
Maybe he isnt good enough to play in the NFL on a consistent basis because if he was, then he would be playing because I'm pretty sure the Panthers suck ass and need all the help they can get.

Exactly??? Short term memory loss?
no one said he hasnt played in a game yet. But he has also been inactive in 8 of the Panthers first 11 games, including TODAY. Also in his 3 games hes only had 6 total catches. He played in 3 games because other people were hurt not because he beat people out and earned a spot, and now that everyone is back you see that he didnt impress anyone with his limited chance and hes back being inactive.
