Well, one bad contract of another. Johnson has potential to be top 10 WR. but man he already started the on the field post Pittsburgh AB antics in Pittsburgh with a questionable QB. Idk this could get really spicy. Let's hope we can feed him and keep him happy, cause of so we likely are doing worlds better than last year in the passing game.

It will not matter that much. He's basically on a 1 year prove it deal here. That will decide his fate here. If he wants it he will have to earn it. I seriously doubt they plan on him being anything other than that until his replacement is drafted.

Late to the party but I had him in Fantasy last season. Massive let down. But to be fair, he was hurt AND not their #1. Hopefully he can be happy being the #1 here ... even with you know who throwing him the ball.

Ummm he was our #1, who told you he wasn't? Pickens was practically benched a couple games, as well so many below 50 yards.  By Chance have you bothered to look at his 2022 year of a whopping zero touchdowns.

If I could start a thread, I would.  

I'm a Steeler fan and was looking to see what there is about Donte. And seen yinz say he was good but was over priced. 

But then I saw y'all thinking Johnson is good and thinking you would the trade...... I'm sorry to disappoint you, but Johnson is meh. Be prepared for him to catch and go backwards 5 years and then start moving up the field. 

Yeah, I don't want to hear memes about negative YAC. He's far better than anyone on this roster and better than probably all the receivers we've had since Steve Smith & D.J. Moore. I know you guys have been spoiled with receivers this past decade but let me be the first to inform you that it can be a difficult position to draft and develop.

Having said that, Donte Jackson is a starting caliber corner, that I expect will play well at the CB2 position barring injury.

Wait what? Johnson is a potential top 10? I'm dying. Dude had zero touchdowns 2 years ago. He was forced in the #1 slot and he is just meh. There's a reason why he's only getting paid 10 million. 

 

Oh and be prepared for him to drop 5 yards back after his catch, and then he makes a move.

I'm not exactly thrilled but as a wild card on offense where we sucked. Wide range of outcomes for him. Cause this is a swap it's the one move that likely cost nothing in cap or personnel with the highest chance to move the needle. I'm not convinced it does though.

Thanks, I appreciate that. Because we have been burned last year. P² was a joke. And the boy we drafted was a #2. Which was hard on him because of no one to help him.  

 

I hope the best for Johnson. Some times that move off dropping back 5 and then making a move worked. But it scares the heck out of you. 

Also our QB suck. Last couple of years with Ben we thought was bad, but it went to being a nightmare. So maybe Johnson can be better.

Also our OC was an idiot. (I would curse and say worse, but I'm not sure what is allowed here).... so maybe Johnson can be better. 

 

George Pickens seems to be good for us. But there's an attitude. I like it, but most fans hate it.

Given what we gave up i think we have nothing to lose by taking a chance on him. I know nothing about him but I do know Donte. Getting something for Donte no matter the outcome is a win.

Are you a troll? Pickens was your number 1. 1,141 yds and 5 TDs. And had 800 yds and 4 TDs in 2022 as a rookie. What are you trying to even argue here?

I'm higher on Jackson than most, but here's a little more.

In my opinion he's a very decent corner. He can tackle well for a corner and more importantly wants to make the tackle, which at times has gotten him hurt. He has decent hands for a corner and tracks balls well. He's on the smaller side, but gives 100% effort, and plays with fire — is a talker. He can get burned, but so can anyone really, so I never faulted him, especially in last year's disaster of a team.

His health is the biggest concern. If he stays healthy I think he will play well.

Look at receptions. Two years ago Johnson was #1. Last year Pickens didn't start getting the ball until the end for receptions. 

 

Just because Pickens put up great numbers, doesn't make him a #1.

Thanks. We coach up tackling, so that will be nice to see he didn't need that training. 

Health we are meh on.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
