QB Bills Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Setting nostalgia aside, we are in terrible shape at receiver. The big knock on Tyrod is that he doesn't throw to a guy until he's open. I'm a pro-Tyrod guy, but even I see this at times. Stevie had his faults too, but one thing he was great at was getting open. A burner would be nice, but I believe the passing philosophy of these coaches is predicated on quick throws instead of longer developing plays. I really think Stevie's skill set would mesh perfectly with Tyrod. Not sure how healthy he is at this point. I know he was hinting at wanting to come back to Buffalo earlier this season so I'm sure he still wants to play. With what we'll be trotting out at receiver against Tampa in 11 days, we're not really giving Tyrod and the offense a chance.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 I do still have his jersey, so I'm open to the idea. I'm not sure a WCO WR that runs routes like a coked up spastic cat with Tourette's fits well... but at least his end zone celebrations won't draw flags this year
Willyville Guy Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 I like Stevie as much as anyone, but the Bills needed to part ways with him after the killer drops in crucial moments. There can't be a culture change with that kind of tendency.
BuffaloBillyG Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 No thanks. He was overrated when he was here. Now he's just older. More broken down.
K D Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 bring in Fitzpatrick too. also Spiller is still available. we can get Chan to redo the offense. SUPER BOWL
PromoTheRobot Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Terrell Owens is available. Edited October 11, 2017 by PromoTheRobot
jimmy10 Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Stevie Johnson, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Chan Gailey are all available, no? If McWrestleBeane doesn't make it happen by noon eastern today, I hereby sentence this team to an eternity of doom because of ego and reasons and Schwartz and comp picks.

Good to great qbs have the ability to throw a man open. This requires trust in yourself. Tyrod does not have this quality. And he never will. Enjoy this last 2/3 of the season because TT will be gone along with Dareus, Glenn and probably Kyle retiring.
SaviorPeterman Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Can he even still play? I'm guessing no especially since he's been out of the league since the 2015 season and was basically averaging 500 yards from his last 3 NFL seasons, all of which he didn't even play the entire season due to injury.
MarkyMannn Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 I'm guessing no especially since he's been out of the league since the 2015 season So then why would someone start a thread about a guy the whole rest of the league has had no interest for 2 years???
BuffaloBillyG Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 So then why would someone start a thread about a guy the whole rest of the league has had no interest for 2 years??? Bills fans doing Bills fan things, man
MarkyMannn Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Bills fans doing Bills fan things, man For sure. Hey I heard of this guy!!!
Willyville Guy Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Bring in Stevie Johnson... for his Wall of Fame ceremony!
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 bring in Fitzpatrick too. also Spiller is still available. we can get Chan to redo the offense. SUPER BOWL ...heard Harvin needs some spending money..............
Steptide Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Stevie is a slow route runner. I could actually see this benefiting tyrod
QB Bills Posted October 11, 2017 Author Posted October 11, 2017 Ya, you folks are right. Let's stick with the budding all-pros on the roster right now. It's more about the dire situation at receiver right now than it is about Stevie dropping a pass against the Steelers years ago. If you think that these practice squad jobbers are all better than Stevie, then fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I suppose. I just think he'd be an upgrade who'd come cheap and would mesh well with Taylor's style.

I just think he'd be an upgrade who'd come cheap and would mesh well with Taylor's style. Honestly the Steelers drop isn't even a factor. He's a guy that at this point in his career doesn't have an ounce of upside. This would likely be the reason that the Bills and, you know 31 other NFL teams haven't brought him in. Stevie 7 years ago? I would agree would be better than what we have. Stevie now? No thank you. Look around the league. The Browns WR depth...look at what happened to the Giants this weekend at WR. Yet no team is even reportedly bringing him in for a tryout. Age and injury catches up.
