My understanding is that he has gotten better with it, although I have not seen that with my own eyes. It was an absolute circus in Pittsburgh; one of the quickest WRs you'll ever see in your life yet nobody was afraid of him. Quote
boyst Posted October 29 Posted October 29 3 minutes ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: Baltimore is a scary freaking team. until the playoffs. some things are just true. Dallas is good until December. The Steelers always try really hard and over perform until being exposed. The eagles always choke. the chiefs refs always win cheat. the jets always jet. baltimore will run out of steam in december and run on fumes to the playoffs and flounder. 1 minute ago, Simon said: My understanding is that he has gotten better with it, although I have not seen that with my own eyes.

Johnson is a slower WR that runs great routes. He gets open short but not someone defenses fear downfield. Cooper is already attracting a safety over top. Quote
Simon Posted October 29 Posted October 29 12 minutes ago, That's No Moon said: Does he catch the ball in the cold yet? Fwiw, his numbers look like this: 3 TDs in 7 games Averaging about 4 catches for 50 yrds per game Still only bringing in 50% of his targets Missed their last game with a "rib" injury I don't know how much the numbers were affected by QB play and I don't know if he was really hurt or just bubble-wrapped for a trade. 2 1 Quote

Billl Posted October 29 Posted October 29 He’s averaged 6.2 yards per target on the season. Some of that is attributable to poor QB play, but he’s 6.8 for his career. He’s the epitome of a stat collector via volume of targets. He’d be a great pickup for a team like Tampa (or Kansas City pre-Hopkins) who just doesn’t have any healthy targets, but I’m not sure what he does for Baltimore. 2 1 Quote
GunnerBill Posted October 29 Posted October 29 (edited) Meh. Never really rated him. I think that is cheap compared to what Carolina paid 6 months ago. Tells you all you need to know about him. Average player, bad teammate. Edited October 29 by GunnerBill 2 1 Quote

I don't think he's enough of an improvement over what they have for it to make a real difference. 1 Quote

All I know is they traded a player and a pick for him in March and now gave him away for basically nothing halfway through the season. Obviously they weren't impressed. The price tag tells you what the rest of the league thought also. 3 Quote

I'm only a little spooked by it and just because of his athleticism. If Harbaugh and Co. can turn Lamar Jackson into a viable NFL QB can they do something similar with Johnson? Quote
MJS Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Overrated. The Steelers always get the most out of their receivers. They never seem to be quite the same when they leave Pittsburgh. Amari Cooper is much, much better. 1 Quote
