bowery4 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Good for Stevie, I still like him and wish him the best. I admit when this all went down, I was a bit upset but I think it was a good thing. I think he is a good guy and fine receiver. Just matching skill sets weren't there and they think this direction is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 It really is too bad that Greggo Marrone could not figure out a way to work with Stevie. It should not have been that difficult, but with limited coaching experience and a thin skin it seems like it was not meant to be. I think SJ will do well in SF. It was nice having a guy that loved being a Bill. I think Eric Wood loves it, Freddie loves it and CJ says he loves it. I hope Sammy adopts SJ's mind set in many aspects. When Greggo Marrone is inevitably jettisoned after this year maybe we will get a coach more capable of dealing with pro players and situations.

qblax16 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Read this and felt similar, that the QB situation is a problem in Buffalo. I still miss him here even though it could (would) have been a problem with Sammy getting all the hype if he stayed. Last thought... Can we get more that a 4th rd pick for a good player? I mean how many 4th round talents are we giving any playing time to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I "like" Steve Johnson on Facebook, he has had nothing but great things to say about the Bills..when the Bills started training camp, he posted a picture of himself from a Bills training camp in recent years, commented on how hard it was not to be there, and about dealing with change. Say what you want about the guy, but he loved being a Buffalo Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) I Agree with you guys. He is going to have a nice season with San Fran and he'll see some good action in January. Additionally, almost every time I see demos at various events of Madden 15 HE'S the guy scoring TDs for the Niners!

Kelly the Dog Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 He gave well thought out answers. Good read. I would much prefer our WR squad overall to SFs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ko12010 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Thanks I was just going to point that out. Oh really? Damn, because it could've become a 3rd rounder. But it could actually end up being a gigantic win for us if Bryce Brown becomes as good as some think he will be. Also, people need to understand that this interview put Stevie in a very tough position. He doesn't want to badmouth either his old team or new team, so he had to be careful. Any subtle jabs or whatnot definitely weren't planned out beforehand. We all know he never had much chemistry with EJ, who favored Woods, and was also injured, so of course he's going to be high on his new QB.

It actually could become a 3rd rounder for SF - depending on SJ's production and BB's production. They both have to hit certain production levels for that to happen though and from what I remember that didn't appear likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice article; wouldn't expect Stevie to be negative about his time in Buffalo and he didn't disappoint. Hope he has a good year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsBytheBay Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Subtly throws the QBs under the bus. I thought our QB's did that just fine in their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
