Thursday open thread: Who has been the Lions’ MVP thus far?

The Detroit Lions have finished their first quarter of the season, and they are not anywhere close to where they want to be. At 1-3, they’ve now finished the first quarter of the season with a losing record in three of the past five seasons.

Although the team has failed as a unit, there have been individual performances of note. The Lions have a receiver ranked second in the league in yardage, a defensive end ranked second in sacks, and a quarterback who has put up two dynamic performances in four weeks.

So today’s Question of the Day is:

Who has been the Lions’ MVP over the first four weeks?

My answer: Marvin Jones. Jones’ play has single-handedly kept the Lions in several games this year, including their wild comeback against the Packers that fell just short. Matthew Stafford deserves a lot of credit, too, but only Marvin has been reliable throughout all four games this year. Jones has over 70 yards in each game this year, and is averaging a whopping 21.0 yards per catch. Never did I think we’d forget about Calvin Johnson so soon, but Jones has made that transition away from Megatron easy.

Your turn.
