So you mean year one of the Mitch and Kenny experience. Yeah no doubt he didn't light up the stat sheet. that was Bryce bad QB play. Hell y'all basically just took the air out of the ball and methodically used Johnson as an extension of the run game and ran it down our throats in 2022. I wouldn't trust Mitch either.

Don't think it's a coincidence his play and output dropped in 2022 after big Ben retired. He was the leading receiver in yards what 3 straight years, and wasn't in all the games. He's what we lack and everyone wants: big play potential. If healthy he took the top off the defense for years, and that speed isn't gone.  Now can our QB get him the ball...... Remains to be seen, and if not it's going to be ugly. Johnson's catch and retreat move is gonna piss us all off for damn sure.

Jackson is going to frustrate you. He loves to make a play and then later give up a huge one, game after game.. we both are trading for potential and unloading our underperforming guys here. Think Jackson has a better outcome as he won't be asked to be a #2 CB for you all. We likely ask Johnson to be a top 2 WR and want him as the #1 as it stands today. Hope for us he's motivated to perform for the next contract.

Thanks. Last year we rotated QB. It was our #3 that made Pickens look great. 

I would not worry about health. Unless you're going to run him into the ground. 

 

And I agree we are both trading for hope.

You didn’t want him. If anybody would have traded literally anything for him our GM would have jumped to get rid of his contract. I’m pretty sure he’s still available doesn’t look like anybody wants him.

Yeah I know they won't trade him but sure wish they would. I like him as well too and if he has a decent QB throwing to him I could see him lighting it up week after week.

You know where we can find a decent QB at? Lol. 

 

Even if russell wilson works out for us. It's just going to be a year

Ah, then you'll be fine with him. He has more breakouts vs getting hot when he goes back 5. 

He'll drop some. But who doesn't? 

He's injury sucked, but it wasn't like a bad thing. I also think we were cautious with it, due to we had WR to go to. 

 

.... so if you're used to that and cool with it then you should be happy with him getting 10 million. That will look good for you. 

Didn't say we are happy with it, just use to it. We absolutely want better.  We are just not in a position to do so at the moment.

I'm not so sure we aren't looking for one ourselves.

We tried hard for the Bills center. So I'm really surprised we didn't try for your center. 

We are sitting right now with no one because we cut the guy who would under throw it so many times.

He's not technically cut yet, neither was Donte even though it was reported we were going to cut him

That’s the biggest quality I’d be wanting right now. 

Same. Something that made Wilson so great in Seattle is that he could lob up a wounded  duck and his WRs would come back to the ball and fight for it and come down with it. If Bryce did that it's an automatic pick 6. He needs some dogs throwing elbows trying to help him out.

Interesting addition to the huddle lol

I always love when a fan of the previous team shows up and has NOTHING positive to say. 

I've been watching football for 45 years now.  He's a talented kid.  Had some injuries.   The team that drafted him is moving on.  His new team picked him up for peanuts. He doesn't have to be elite to improve the Panthers receiving core.  Sometimes a change of scenery and system is needed.  

Thanks for your time steeliedude,  you can go back home now.

Be prepared it will drive you up the wall when he catches and runs back 5 yards. I bet week one yinz will be asking, "what was that?".

Catches is the key word, that’s a step in right direction.
