Free Agency Grabs: WR Charles Johnson - Was His Potential Hindered By Poor QB Play?

[LinvilleGorge]

Evidently we gave this guy $2.2M. No clue on guarantees, but what in the actual fug??? Instead of attempting to find left NFL WRs, we'll just pay JAGs like they're legit NFL WRs and hope for the best? Jesus...

Lol Patterson beat him out because Bradford has no arm strength. All they did were dumpoffs and 5 yard passes. Johnson was used primarily as a deep threat.

Adam Theilen and Diggs didn't have problems with Bradford's deep passes 

Patterson beat him out cause he's better

From the film I see, Bradford is God-awful poo.

I don't care how others perform, but when CJ2 gets some chances, he doesn't get any help from his QB.

Go watch the source video for yourself, and tell me half - or most - of those passes were erratic, underthrown, or plain bad.

I saw 3 bad throws 

When you get beat out by other WR who aren't world beaters, it's not a good look.

The bar isn't set too high all he's got to do is play better than Philly and Bersin did.  And not drop half the passes Ginn did 

And he's a solid #3

[LinvilleGorge]

I just hope that between Shepard and Johnson that one of them turns out to be a solid #3.

Then I hope we draft a guy to compete for #2.

Funchess? Prove it. Your free ride is over.

Good post. Hoping he has success here, he's got the potential.

I think there is more to it than that.  CJ2 was signed the first day of Free Agency.  I think DG and staff realize that he is better than his numbers.

Someone posted that he was a star on the rise when he got hurt and Diggs took his spot and never gave it back.

Anyone have video of his early time with Minnesota.

Hope this is the chance he needs.  Like what I read about the guy.

Johnson's heart extends beyond his immediate family. When a Minnesota mom put out a Facebook plea to save her daughter's 10th birthday party, Johnson was a familiar face among 300-some strangers that attended.

5. For the love of the game: It all adds up to Johnson being the kind of player that should fit nicely in the Panthers' locker room.

"I love this game. I love this game with everything in me, and that's the reason I play," Johnson said. "I'm not playing for glory or for money. I play it because I love it. I give it everything I've got each and every week.

"I think it's a great fit for me. They've got a good thing going here with a good quarterback and a good game plan on offense. I just think it fits me as a player, and I'm excited about being here and look forward to getting out there and showing what I can do."
