It seems like a holdover from the Culpepper supporters who doubted Stafford. Now that Stafford has won us all over with his play, I’d like to bury that nickname so deep in the ground that it will never see the light of day again.

As for Calvin, hmmmm……..

Calvinator? Oops, another movie-inspired nickname (albeit more timeless)
Calvinosaurus? No…….just no.
Calvinopolis? What? He’s a city?
Calvinnius? The Roman Empire is dead…..let it rest.
Calvincible? Doesn’t sound right.
Calvin & Hobbes? Any good WR2’s named Hobbes? Didn’t think so.

Personally, the nickname I like best is……….Calvin.

He’s one of a kind. In a few years everyone will know his name…….and he’ll only need the one.

but I grew up with Transformers

For some reason, “Ocho Uno” makes me think of a big-mouth WR who likes to draw attention to himself by changing his name to his jersey number. I don’t like it for Calvin.

ocho uno? so you want to spin off of someone else’s nickname? c’mon.

there is nothing wrong with Megatron. I think it suits him and might add to a little to the intimidation factor when he’s heads up looking down on a typical 5’11" 185 corner. especially with his dark eye shield reflecting back. kinda scary, no?

i say we avoid nicknames for Stafford.

Nothing is wrong with that nickname, it actually suits him as a WR. However, I call Stafford and Staff and that’s about as far as I’ll go. QB nicknames don’t work too well unless they’re derogatory.

Besides Megatron has gotten his @$$ kicked by Optimus for the past 25 years. wouldn’t you want him named after the dominate Transformer?

CJ is humble, and let’s his actions speak for him. That doesn’t really fit the comparison to Megatron. If you going to name him after a action hero why not something that fits his personality more?
