That's darn near unstoppable.

true that its better to have too many weapons than one incredible receiver

but GW's D couldn't stop calvin johnson, in the playoffs he burned us for 13 catches 230 yards and 2 td's

How many Defenses stop Calvin Johnson? How many stop Drew Brees?

Some players are just that damned good no matter who they line up against.
