BuckyFillUps Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I think Stevie Johnson has a TON of potential to become a TRUE posseion WR for us. Not so much Fitzie, maybe more like Boldin.
silvermike Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 11 catches guys. I think best case scenario, Steve Johnson becomes everything Josh Reed was supposed to be.
Wooderson Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Wow. Is Steve Johnson really getting compared to Larry Fitzgerald after 11 catches? It must be a long offseason.
BuckyFillUps Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 11 catches guys. I think best case scenario, Steve Johnson becomes everything Josh Reed was supposed to be. Rookie season dude. Lets hope he does become everything Reed was spota be. Reed had WAAAAYYY more hype than Hardy.
SuperKillerRobots Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I thought STeve Johnson was a bad guy. Wasn't he with Marshawn when he ran over that canadian chic? I still think Steve was driving and Marshawn covered for him - they were buddies and on a rainy night, in a Cayanne, they probably look pretty similar. Steve never would have made the team had he been the one driving. Everyone loves Marshawn, so he took it. How's that for a crazy theory?
Magox Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 11 beautiful catches. Did you see those 2 catches he had for touchdowns in the last two games? Thing of beauty! Slant pattern at the goal line. When was the last time we had a reciever that could do that? Watch out!!! Stevey is gonna surpise people next year. Sorry, I got carried away I do think that he will have: 60 catches 7 tds in year 2.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Steve Johnson is so good he might be a bigger impact player than James Hardy!!!!

Buftex Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I like what little I have seen of Johnson, but, at this point, I will be happy if he is just better than Josh Reed... Larry Fitzgerald? Really?
BillsPride12 Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 At this point Larry Fitzgerald should only be getting compared to Jerry Rice, not Steve Freakin Johnson With that said, Steve could in fact turn out to be a productive diamond in the rough late round steal for us...but c'mon comparing him to a once in a generation talent like Fitzgerald?? I feel like the IQ level of messageboards get lower as each day passes during the offseason.
Trader Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 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 I would love for you to be exactly right. What your statement proves is that Football is a lot more than size and speed. Didn't we always know that though?
GripnRip Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 You're crazy. They're both wide receivers and they both have dread locks....thats about it.
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Steve Johnson is so good he might be a bigger impact player than James Hardy!!!! Especially on Canadian women

The offense just might be looking good in 2009 You're comparing a 7th round pick who averages 12.6 yards per game to the Pro Bowl MVP who averages 13.6 yards per reception...because they both have dreadlocks? Crazy is not the word I'd use. Jesus...

Or maybe you're just "toasted". Just say no to drugs.
ganesh Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I love it. Why not? 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. James Harrison and Willie Parker MUST thank the Bills for taking them off the bench to Pro-Bowl....On that cold day with the playoffs on the line, our offense under Beldsoe fumbled the ball due to a sack by Harrision that was returned for a TD and then with the game on the line let 3rd back Willie Parker run for 60+ yards for a TD in the 4th qtr to seal the game.
ganesh Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Exactly what I mean his 10/11 catches all looked very promising He has a nice burst to him The better question would be how many times was he thrown to and what % did he convert.
