Diontae Johnson on lack of downfield throws: “We’re not the ones calling the plays”

They don't call deep throws because their QB can't see the receivers to throw deep. Bryce threw deep in college with a wish and a prayer because his receivers were so much more talented than the opposition. 

Hell, he cannot throw deep because his arm is not strong enough and he has to either tiptoe or jump, which makes it worse. IF he could plant and run into it, maybe, but that is not possible in the NFL.

Diontae is playing for a contract this season and got stuck with the worst QB in the league

He’s going to lose his mind soon and rightfully so

Yep. We brought a guy who is known to have a volatile temperament who is in a contract year and paired him with a QB who can't effectively throw past the LOS. The guy might be an asshole but even a genuinely good guy would eventually erupt as he literally watches millions of dollars of future earnings go up in smoke.

    • One thing I didn’t consider is how thin this draft is at quarterback. That’s going to drive up the market for backups and borderline starters like Willis, Jones, and Jameis Winston. Because of that, we’ll most likely be priced out of the market for this tier of backup. 
    • We've already beat the #1 seed twice, why not one more? (Packers and Rams were both #1 seed at the time we played)
    • My determination has come down to this. Based on recent QB history, has Bryce's improvement warranted 50m per season? Lamar is the only original team QB to play on his 5th year. The others took major deals at the end of the 3rd, before or just after the option was signed. Chances are, we're getting asked for the same.  I haven't rooted for Bryce to fail. I've rooted for him to succeed so big that them signing that extension would give me no worries about our future at QB at all. We haven't seen that level of play consistently that this year. We haven't seen it in the past 6 games.  We're about to be at a threshold with Bryce and I worry about what this front office will do. We have a history of bad decision making and Morgan has been part of that group making those decisions. I don't want Carolina in the same boat Arizona and Miami are right now. It has nothing to with being right. It has to do with wanting to win for more than a single season. We've never had back to back winning seasons. Faith in their abilities is not warranted at this point.
