To people who have actually watched more than 1 game in the last 10 years? Yes. Maybe not to your average bimbo who doesn't know anything more than football is played with an oblong ball. What that person knows is hit or miss, and that person might recognize Lynch just because he has a more flamboyant personality. That person also might recognize Dennis Rodman before Magic Johnson because Rodman has colorful hair. Is Rodman a bigger star than Magic?
Eta: I don't have their schedules memorized, but if the Seahawks and the Lions played sometime the last few years then the game would have been advertised as "Calvin Johnson and the high flying Lions offense squares off against the hard hitting Seahawks' defense." There would be a video of Calvin making a flying catch, and maybe Earl Thomas smacking the shite out of a wr going across the middle. Lynch hasn't even been the biggest star on his team. The defense has been.

Easily Megatron.
Receivers are everything today, RBs barely count and have a tough time getting drafted before the 3rd round...and usually you end up with busts like Lacy and Trent Richardson and soon to be Derrick Henry.
Beastmode had some memorable runs but no way he impacted his team on a daily basis like CJ.

I really don't know where he is getting that bigger star bull shite from. Megatron has been one of the faces of the NFL the last like 5 years.
It's because Johnson's stardom has been on a downward trend the last few years and lynch has ascended along with the success of his team the last 3 seasons. Beast mode is arguably a more marketable nickname then megatron.

I would rather not play for fricking Detroit and live there either.
So the answer is definitely Lynch.
So the answer is definitely Lynch.

most people think of this as meaning the same thing IMO

if Lynch stays in Buffalo, he never wins a Super Bowl. Where he happened to play didn't make him better or worse as a player. Do you think if Calvin Johnson played for New England the last couple years that he becomes a better player just by being on that team?

On a different note, I have a hard time believing Johnson stays retired. Lynch is a different story.

I agree people think of them the same, but to me they're two distinctly different questions. Team success shouldn't matter when discussing who the better player was, but it definitely matters when discussing who had the better career
