Punch Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Couldn't agree more. Calvin Johnson has sucked pretty much his entire career too. Same with Andre Johnson. I used to think Calvin Johnson was the greatest WR of all time... now I'm not so sure: 2007 (Lions) 7-9 2008 (Lions) 0-16 2009 (Lions) 2-14 2010 (Lions) 6-10 2011 (Lions) 10-6 2012 (Lions) 4-12 2013 (Lions) 7-9 2014 (Lions) 11-5
bonechiller Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 At some point, you have to consider cost for every position grouping. While it's fun to think Daddy Pegs has an infinite checkbook, IMO we want to be in position to sign a franchise QB in 2016 (if one comes available), extend Dareus, Gilmore and Glenn and possibly resign Harvin if he has a monster year. Striking a balance between some lower cost depth players that will give us more flexibility beyond 2015 is just smart roster management, IMO... You have a point, but I have faith in DW not, as some would put it, "put them in cap jail". Originally I was just thinking of receiver only, not special teams, I do like Goodwin as a return man but think about this 4 receiver set; Watkins and Woods on the outside Harvin and Stevie inside/slot
Solomon Grundy Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Stevie, please sign with the Chargers!!! Keep your membership active.
Doc Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Twitter: Stevie's about to sign w/ the Patriots Reality: Stevie's agent has seen 2 offers. 1 from the Pats and 1 from the Chargers. The Chargers offer is stronger, but he knows he might be able to squeeze SD for a little more loot by having the headlines read that Stevie is about to sign with NE. Might be able to get and extra 250k out of them. I fully expect him to choose SD come tomorrow. That's what Jordan Cameron did with the Dols.
bladiebla Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 What about him? Steve Johnson- the 2015 version- would be the 5th best WR on our roster at the moment. He was really good in 2010 for a while and then good in 2011 and 2012. His play dropped significantly in 2013. And the 49ers, who need all the help they can get at WR, saw fit to cut him outright. What am I missing here? What you are missing is that Sj his performance was tied to a certain QB, be it chemistry or something else... He also did very well with Hamdan with caused him to get noticed in the first place (within the team). What both Fritz and Hamdan had in common is the ability to read the field, thus anticipate to the adjustments SJ made to his routes. He might do well with Cassel tbh.
papazoid Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 i say he picks SD better weather, closer to L.A. , more playing time
DrDawkinstein Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Im seeing reports that he's going to SD. Right on, Stevie!! :thumbsup:
IDBillzFan Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) AFC Championship Game - Bills 24, Cheatriots 20; 4th down with 5 seconds left in the game, Cheaters ball on the Bills 15 yard line.... Brady drops back and fires a rocket to a wide open Stevie Johnson........ oh $&%#, it hit him in the Sharpie and he dropped it, Bills win!!! But wait! Jerry Hughes is flagged with roughing the passer after he touched Brady's shoulder pad, giving the Pats* an automatic first down inside the 10. We're now hearing there's a problem with the play clock, so to be fair Roger Goodell made an executive decision to add 15 more seconds to the clock. Is there anything Tom Brady can't do?

YoloinOhio Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I knew this would happen but didn't want to disturb the madness in this thread @NBCdianna: Stevie Johnson will sign with Chargers per sources. @NBCdianna I'm told in the end, it was a tough decision for SJ13 but it was about his family
Mike in Horseheads Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 View 1 new Tweet Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 54s55 seconds ago Former 49ers and Bills WR Stevie Johnson is signing with the Chargers, as @NBCdianna reported. It is a 3-year deal. SD adds a WR.
QB Bills Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Good for Stevie. He's going to kick ass there. Finally gets to play with a good QB.
papazoid Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 i say he picks SD better weather, closer to L.A. , more playing time nice call..... (laffin)

The NFL treats all players and franchises equally both on and off the field.
Beef Jerky Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Let's see if the SJ curse continues. So far he can't get on a team that ends up with a winning record... Edited March 17, 2015 by Beef Jerky
Big Hurt Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Ok, Stevie reportedly signed with the chargers. I wish him the best. He is a good guy and still like him.
TallskiWallski83 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I think San Diego is honestly the better fit for SJ. He has a lot of similiarities to Keenan Allen in that they are both savvy route runners with not a lot of top end speed.Good for him, I think San Diego is a team that is easy for Buffalo Bills fan's to root for.
