Wing Man Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 The move took me a bit by surprise at the time but after seeing the analytics it was a smart decision.
YoloinOhio Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 this Just wait until he's tearing it up in SF or when Woods or Goodwin gets injured in about week 3. Well all be saying we shouldn't have given up our only veteran at the position for almost nothing. With that said. Right now I don't miss him. I think he wanted out and it showed with his attitude last year a bit. Not that it was bad, just that he wasn't happy. I wish him the best in SF and know he'll be successful there. a strong performance by SJ in SF will only help the Bills with getting possibly a 3rd rd pick over a 4th rd pick and it plays into what we owe Philly for Bryce Brown. I hope he does tear it up there. But I still don't think it was a good fit here.
Gugny Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Stevie Johnson earned every penny and more as a Bill. He worked hard. He played hard. He wanted to win every bit as much as any fan wanted the Bills to win. He did his part. His Bills career should not be defined by a couple costly drops and a few small bouts of immaturity. I wish him the best in the rest of his NFL career and beyond. He's a good dude, in my book. And yes. I miss him. But I think his departure was both smart and necessary for him AND the Bills.
NewEra Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I love Stevie. Always will. I'll root for him in SF. Sad he's not on the team....but we don't need him. Especially with his big contract. I'm super fired up for Sammy. Excited for mike Williams. I think Robert woods will be our most productive WR this year. Our WRs are the best we've had in 20 years IMO. While I loved Stevie because he embraced the city and was a good person, we're better off without him
YoloinOhio Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Nice article on Stevie's replacement: @BillsDraft: New Sophomore Spotlight from @RyanTalbotBills focuses on #Bills wide receiver Robert Woods: http://t.co/3nQ5fZlvNV
SRQ_BillsFan Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Can't replace experience. We have a lot of potential. I liked Stevie, how many games did we win where he didn't drop the pass or fumble, we'll never know. For what we got for him I would have rather had him here. Edited July 13, 2014 by SRQ_BillsFan
major Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I miss him. I am excited to see what Goodwin is going to do this year though

Rocky Landing Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 im not a Stevie hater by any means, but I don't think we lose much , if anything, with RW in the slot. And probably gain an edge after the catch. I think RW is the better fit there and he and EJ have developed the chemistry that Stevie didn't. I like the addition of Williams a ton in the red zone. Although, Stevie did have more receptions, and more yards than Woods last season. I also don't think it's even relevant to compare Stevie to Woods. We easily could have had both. Personally, I wish he were still a Bill.

I wish him the very best in SF, and I do miss him. Having said that, I am absolutely thrilled that we have Sammy Watkins, and I can't wait to see how Robert Woods does in his second year.
boyst Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Gonna be hard to tear it up in SF when he's will most likely be the 4th passing option. I liked him, I respected his rise from where he was selected, he put up very good numbers all things considered, and I certainly appreciate how he re-signed with us for less than he could have got on the open market. I just feel like we have obtained two better receivers in the off season in Watkins and Williams and, quite frankly, I got tired of the drops in absolutely vital situations. I won't crap on him, but I don't miss him. except that SJ13 ate Sherman for lunch the last matchup. A TD where he left him standing lost and 100+ yards. If Sherman is man enough to cover a man inside SJ will crush him. Sherman is as overrated as anyone. Peterson may give Johnson a fit. Much faster. More athletic. Better hands and a pure CB talent.

Not sure there's a need to start a thread to crap on him.
Mark Vader Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 This. Not sure there's a need to start a thread to crap on him. Agreed. If this thread were about Byrd.....
folz Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Why are we crapping on the guy? A 7th rounder who put up good numbers, enjoyed playing here and was traded away instead of bolting when his contract was up like a lot of players have. Not saying you have to miss him but to start up a thread to crap on him? Save it for Dbags like Byrd. BTW I'm good w Stevie no longer on the team but I just don't understand all the hate the guy STILL gets. What he said! I too never understood the hatred for Stevie...I wish him nothing but good luck with his new team. He was a good Bill!
Deranged Rhino Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I like the WR's individually but I am not sold on Woods in the slot. I would rather see Woods outside with Watkins. Let Goodwin play the slot WR. Who says Williams will be any better than Woods on the outside? I tend to believe Woods is going to be a monster in the slot. He's tough, runs great routes, and is quicker than he's given credit for. This offense is tailor made for him to thrive in the slot, I really believe that. Why are we crapping on the guy?

Thurmal34 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I miss Stevie but I also get why they moved him. Wish the best for him in SF.
