K. Johnson just got ripped


Smithers

Recommended Posts

On the ESPN pregame show, the crew was discussing the NFL's new concussion policy and how it affects injury disclosure. Johnson made his comments, basically stating that he would hide injuries to meet the incentives in his contract to get more money. Jim Brown looked at Keyshaun and said "I guess I come from a different era," going on to say that money was not as important to players in his day and that winning was the priority. It was awesome seeing Johnson get called out for his greedy ways on live TV.

And yes I know this could have been placed in the NFL Forum...but I figured it deserved to be here since we all hate the former player.

i have no clue why some panthers fans absolutely hate keyshawn. just because our team has poor coaching and a bad general manager doesn't mean any player we cut loose was the problem.

keyshawn's point made sense. not everybody in the nfl has the kind of contracts the big names have. if you're only making 300,000 a year, do you really wanna risk losing your starting position, special teams position etc by having your backup come in and play well?

he only brought up that point after Brown questioned him. At first he only mentioned money, and was only talking about himself. He said that he only needed 19 yards to hit 1000 for the season, and that he wanted to play only to reach 1000. He said that the team couldn't make the playoffs, so that is all he was concerned about. He tried to cover up and not sound so TO like afterward by mentioning those players that might lose their starting spot or roster spot altogether.

And I hate Keyshawn because he is Keyshawn, not because of his time as a Panther. He is greedy and is not a team player. he whines to much and does not try to make others around him better. That, in addition to more, is why I hate him. The sad part, he acts that way despite a very mediocre NFL career.

what nfl player isn't selfish? steve smith's the one whining after wins complaining that he's not an asset to the team.

Sorry, but Smitty is nothing like Key. Smitty will always put himself on the line & never trash talk his players like Key does. Sometime Key doesn't even try when he has the chance where Smitty will.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
