Saturday open thread: Who’s the best breakout candidate for the Lions on Monday Night Football?

Jahvid Best... sigh. You can’t think of the former Lions running back without thinking of two things. The first thought unfortunately is usually his myriad of concussions which cut a very promising career short. The very next thought might be his epic-88 yard touchdown run on “Monday Night Football” versus the Bears. It was a nearly perfect night on October 10, 2011. The Lions improved their record to 5-0. Calvin Johnson caught what seemed like his 100th touchdown of the season, and Best gave the national audience a nice introduction with the huge run.
