You're right. Somebody does have to catch the ball. Which makes it even more amazing, considering he gets double/triple teamed almost 90% of the time. And what does losing 16 games have to do with passing all the time? It's not like the Lions go in to every game down by 2 touchdowns. If Detroit had any sort of defense, they would have won just as many games as the Chiefs this year. No matter the record, a great player still deserves the recognition. Not only Calvin, but the rookie Kevin Smith had a fantastic year too. The Lions should be decent next year.
