Stevie Johnson Released by 49ers (Update: Rotoworld was wrong, will be asked to take pay cut first)

I would be willing to bet we at least check out WR Stevie Johnson,even if we don't sign him

[Panthers Fanatic]

I would be on board with this one too. Relatively young guy who hasn't reached full potential yet.

Sometimes I wonder if some Huddlers even watch football outside of the Panthers. Then I remember that I am a true NFL fanatic.

In other words, Johnson is not a bum. Nor is he Mike Wallace. Nor is he overrated (in reality, or in fantasy) He is a shifty, veteran route runner who consistently gets separation. Yes, he isn't the fastest, but he is savvy. His only real knock is the occasional drop.

[RelaxImaPro]

I've heard that he actually doesn't run routes.  Not in a traditional sense anyways.  He just sort of does his own thing to create separation from the DB and to get to a certain spot in the field by a certain time.

[Mojo]

No, he sucks. I'd forgotten all about him.

He most certainly does not suck.

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Sign all teh receiverszszsz

[Hammerin'Cameron34]

He's good

[PandaPancake]

How much does he beat women?

[MHS831]

It will be interesting to see how another year of depth in the draft at WR, coinciding with what the rookie WRs did last year, will impact the free agent crop this year.  I would think that they will have to reduce their asking prices.

[General_Purr]

He has some fire in him and can make some great catches. 

 

Will people get mad when I say he's a better football player than Cotchery?

 

Always thought he was a great receiver 

[top dawg]

The fact that Johnson has not been released yet is just another indication that everyone needs to be able to edit their own titles.  If not, then I would hope that at least one mod worth his salt would edit the titles in these instances.

All one really has to do is look at their career stats.  Johnson has hit 1000 yards three times with suspect QB play.  Cotchery has only done it once in 11 years. I don't think Johnson is great, but he is certainly good, and still can arguably get better from a production standpoint given he right circumstances.  I would love to have him here on any level. When he was the WR1 in Buffalo, he produced at his highest level, so he can certainly play second or third fiddle very effectively.

[Killa Cam 69]

He is shifty and gets open .. With cams ability to move and extend plays it could be a nice signing .. I'm all for it

[LinvilleGorge]

He was a fantastic deep threat for the Bills. Kaepernick is just a one read QB.
