No he's not. You still living in the past. Hopkins has been injury prone over the last few years and he's no longer a deep threat WR.

 

Johnson at this point is a better WR.

What has always made Nuk great in his prime was his hands and ability to go up and get the ball.  He has never lost that.   he is auto 1000+ WR if healthy even at his current age.  He was last year with a trash rookie QB.  

Healthy? Nuk all day.  If you are trying to win now? Nuk.  Dionate a better investment for a team looking further out.

Well he has no excuses now. He's got the best QB in the NFL. I want results.

I mean, he put up 1000+ with rookie Levis last year.   Results is what he does.  Just about staying on the field.

Anyone not losing sleep over the thought of XL and Mingo is beyond help. 

 

All fun n games until we see this offense without Johnson.

Coker actually looks good, but are you expecting us to look a lot worse without DJ?  We are looking historically bad.  Might as well develop some young guys if we are going to get demolished every week...

Yes we will look a lot worse. Neither XL/Mingo/Coker have proven to be a deep threat. Who's making plays down the field after we trade Johnson?

Cool so instead of scoring 7 we score 0.  We still get a pick and remove a veteran who is setting a terrible example.  You do see him giving up on routes right?  Guess who also has the most INTs when targeted in the league out of WRs?  I will give you a hint, he is a Panthers but not XL, Mingo, or Coker....

Overpaying Diontae Johnson which is what it would have taken to even begin to convince him to stay is not going to help us in the long run.

If you wanna hitch your wagon to him do your thing bud.

Yeah and if we want to overpay a WR we are better off throwing money at Higgins in the offseason. He is much better.

If we’re gonna overpay a receiver I’d rather ship DJ and a pick to the jets for Garrett Wilson

It’s not fun and games.  We are losing every week by 20-30 points.  If we didn’t have Johnson we’d still be losing every week by 20-30 points.  Overpaying Johnson won’t do any more than overpaying Christian Kirk did for Jacksonville.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
