Not only does he have the same accuracy issues, kaep's completion percentage is worth than EJs. Maybe he wishes the Bills had as much succees as Colin has had , with whatever team he plays on. I thought it was funny too

IMO, this year's top 5 WRs without Johnson are an upgrade from last year's roster,while the additional budget dollars allocated to another position (DL or OL) are a net upgrade for the team

And guys that can consistently catch the football. So far in pre season in San Fransisco he has 1 catch and 2 drops. Pretty much par for the course, but not good enough for most teams. I don’t wish #13 any ill will, I liked the guy (but hated the drops). His time here is simply over.

Ohiostyle Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I wish Stevie nothing but the best of luck. Other than a handful of catches I wished he made, I think he was a solid Bill, and represented the franchise well.

There's a great tendency here to praise training camp superstars like Hogan, yet bash players like Spiller or SJ. SJ loved being a Bill, and was productive for this team...yet he gets castigated for it. Don't get too wrapped up in it. It's pretty standard procedure to bash any ex-bill automatically, regardless of their ability. See the numerous Jason Peters suxs threads as examples.

I just like the fact that the 49ers having Stevie now gives me just another reason not to like them (although I guess Whitner is at Cleveland now?) I hate their coach and I love the fact that our D.Coor. tried to go after him! and Frank Gore might be the dumbest man alive.

Heard him on Rome a couple of years ago - he could barely talk and I knew it wasn't a good interview when Rome didn't end it with his super positive macho "now that's a great take" line like he always does.

I don't know how good Hogan is. I don't think anyone here does. But the league is filled with guys who come out of nowhere and perform well (indeed, Stevie is one of them). It's also filled with guys whose production drops precipitously after 6 years in the league. We shall see. Frankly, I had been supportive of Johnson, but I grew tired of his game last year. Too many mistakes at crunch time over the years has added up. As Badolbeelz has said, he's been a guy you want to get the ball to in quarters 1-3, not at the end of the game. I still like him and hope he does well in SF. That said, I think Mike Williams is probably an upgrade (provided he stays out of trouble).

If you had a choice of Stevie or Hogan who are you giving the roster spot too?

I've seen crazy in the off-season before, but this off-season is like none other in terms of the quantity and quality of crazy on this board. Amen

Doug Flutie Band Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 SJ is an attention whore that had his moment in the sun and now it's over and I'm glad to see him and his drops fade into obscurity.

I take Hogan - I don't know why people are down on him - I haven't seen him make the kind of egregious drops that Stevie is famous for. He also reminds me a bit of a Welker or Amandola

He also reminds me a bit of a Welker or Amandola But have you seen him making any plays that resemble those Stevie made? If we are going to talk about Stevie's errors we can't just omit his plays. P.s. In his limited action last year (10 catches) Hogan had at least 2 drops (1 costly). Edited August 23, 2014 by Kirby Jackson
