Glass To The Arson Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Am I crazy? Last year... Steve Johnson was making some plays. He was catching diving slants from JP Losman. In college - He was jumping at the highest point for the ball. He's got dreads. He's 6 foot 2. He's about the same speed. Same as Fitz. He looked promising as a rookie. I say give the dude a chance. Reed will be in the slot. Hardy and Parrish will be our 4th and 5th. A new TE and new Center through the draft/FA. The offense just might be looking good in 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, I don't mean to say that Johnson can't eventually be good, but the dude had 11 catches in 10 games as a rookie...what did I miss that's so promising about that?

Maybe I'm still bitter from riding the pine during 9th grade basketball, but I always thought that there are studs on every NFL bench who are just never given the chance because coaches play the guys they perceive to be good, not the ones that actually are good. You got guys like Tom Brady, Fred Jackson, Priest Holmes, James Harrison, Kurt Warner just sitting around, twidling their thumbs. Maybe, due to dumb luck, they get a chance and become stars. Hopefully S. Johnson gets his chance to shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfish Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Steve Johnson isn't the best WR in the NFL but he's clearly in the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commish95 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Stevie needs to catch passes against the DB and not the LB in the Flat. Let him run some deep routes and see what he has.(More then 10 yards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Seriously though, it seemed like he made the most of his opportunities. He strikes me as a really reliable target. I have a feeling that if Lynch, Edwards, and Evans were suddenly injured, we might discover that Jackson, Hamdan, and Johnson are all better players. (We'll never know this, of course).

qwksilver Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Steve Johnson isn't the best WR in the NFL but he's clearly in the top 10. This is a level, right? I am pretty sure there is a noticeable difference in speed and maybe even strength. Which is why Johnson was a 7th round pick and not the 2nd or 3rd pick of the draft.

The offense just might be looking good in 2009 In the few chances he got during games, he displayed two very important qualities: Getting open during routes and good hands. Maybe he'll see more time on the field next season. I think he deserves the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
