I didn't finish the 'reel' but didn't see much besides runs. Anyone that gets time in the backfield is going to need the two more things; good to great hands and pass pro. 

I like him though when people know you are running it. (which, a football team needs 'that guy')

I believe this is the guy some people were upset about us cutting. 

I wasnt upset with cutting him, just the timing........(like many other moves). After the stinkers to end the last year and poor PS showings, johnson ran hard and broke like 4 tackles starting in the back-field. You reward that effort with a pink slip??? They had 40 other players to cut, pick one of them. "timing" like they wavied that OLman a couple days after his wife gave brith. Just treat the players more human-like and use common sense.

Well looks like that performance didn’t inspire any other team to sign him so we got him back. He was cut to give him a chance of signing with a team after his performance. It wasn’t an insult but a reward. When no one signed him we still stashed him away on our practice squad. There isn’t a spot for him in our current RB room yet.

They let Johnson show what he could against the Jets and then cut him to see if any other team was interested, when they werent he signed back to the PS. They did him a solid.

Yet, he's on the team for week 1. Looks to me like they were clever. He had a good game, got attention and then was cut. That was a red flag to teams and no one signed him. Then we we sign him like we always wanted him. That seems pretty smooth to me.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
