Lions beat writer Tom Kowalski of Mlive.com has posted some comments given by Raiders owner Al Davis.
These comments stem from reporters asking questions to Davis regarding the Raiders’ draft history, more specifically however four years ago when Oakland took JaMarcus Russell first overall instead of Lions’ wide receiver Calvin Johnson.
“I think we’ve been very successful the last four. I think we’re always pretty good. The thing that hurt, is the question someone asked, JaMarcus hurt a great deal. But the ones they wanted to take instead of JaMarcus, Brady Quinn, hasn’t played yet. There was some talk of Calvin Johnson. But you can take a look at Calvin up at Detroit. How many games did they win this year, Detroit, do you know? Six? Yeah. But up until now, Calvin hadn’t done anything for them. He had been eulogized, but he hadn’t made a lot of indelible impression on the won and lost. Listen, someone asked the question, it’s there. The JaMarcus thing hurt.”
Calvin Johnson was voted a starter in this years Pro Bowl and has been named to the NFL All-Pro Second Team for this past season.
