Hey now, who gets to wear #20 in the backfield?...Sims or Sanders?

Bobby Layne at QB is a no brainer...but Johnny Morton at WR?...look I liked Johnny Morton since he was at USC, but is he the best (or second best, they have Moore) they got???....lets get real...

[simple simon]

ok.........who has the best Lion

Siegfried and Roy or the Wizard of Oz

[G.O.D.F.A.T.H.A.]

No actually the Ringling Brothers has the best Lions.

As a Wideout you would have to favor the Cowardly Lion since he had hands...though he would not be all that great on the crossing patterns...

he would be great at the 2 Minute Drill though.......all that running out of bounds after the catch

[Michigan Man]

Barry is the best RB for sure.

Most Receiving Yards - Career
Player Yards Years
1 Herman Moore 9,098 1991-
2 Johnnie Morton 5,345 1994-
3 Brett Perriman 5,244 1991-96
4 Gail Cogdill 5,220 1960-68
5 Charlie Sanders 4,817 1968-77

I dunno, Goth... second leading receiver in team history.

How about Terry Barr? 2nd all time with 35 TD catches and 1,000 yard seasons in '63 and '64?

Nice D, though... Bubba Baker, Spielman, Night Train Lane, Lem Barney. Good stuff!

I never realized how weak the Lions were at receiver. Johnny Morton, the top 2 ever?? Morton was a good player, put you figure that in all the years in Lions history, you could find a better receiver than him.
