I cannot recall such a shitty trade for a decent player that contributes

Basically Robby Anderson+ trade. Johnson is a better player but similar circumstances were incoming, IMO.

No real reason for us to fret about it. It was either this or keep him around to create more and more drama until he got released. That's not a better alternative.

Davante Adamas is a ALL PRO, likely future HOF and he got traded for a 3rd round pick. Johnson is not even top 15 WR in the league, temper your expectations. 

 

Wash got a 3rd for Jahan Dotson and he definitely not as good as Johnson.

A pick is a pick. This is the smart move.

He isn't an elite player, he went after multiple teams had filled their need and he wasn't happy to be here. 

There wasn't much to negotiate about. 

It’s a meaningless swap. The guy we’d get in the 6th is probably the same guy we’ll get late 5th.

Also, on a day when Kirk (possible alternative to Diontae) goes out for the year and Diggs is also out for the year, that’s all we could get? I didn’t even realize Baltimore was interested in another WR but I’m sure Houston is.

I get all of that but there is no way you can realistically convince me there wasnt a team out there that wouldnt even give a 6th for him?  Is he more of a malcontent then Adams?

Like I said, I don't think he was as valuable as people think. If he wasn't he wouldn't have been traded to us for a relatively low price.

He's a talented and high maintenance player that probably creates more BS than he solves in most cases.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
