You have to be Steve Smith good to have the kind attitude Johnson does and get away with it lol

Prime Smitty wouldn't have gotten this many chances. Maybe Moss or Megatron. Maybe. Antonio Brown and Josh Gordon were much better than Diontae could ever dream of being.

And you know every team after Carolina had a long discussion with him before signing about how he was on a short leash. And this dude still wrecked his family's future. Selfish mofo.

Or maybe he's playing 4D chess and trying to get the bag and a Lombardi at KC. Nah, Andy ain't putting up with that foolishness.

This makes Morgan and Canales look like geniuses for getting anything out of him and for him

Well, maybe not geniuses. He was actually getting attention which seems to be his whole problem.

I’ll play devil’s advocate here and say if we didn’t trade for him we would have 1) saved $9.4M in cap and cash and 2) we might have drafted McConkey.

I won’t call us geniuses when we altered our team for him and paid most of his money. The picks basically cancel out since we got Pittsburgh’s late 7th and got the Ravens’ late 5th and gave up two 6ths. We would have been better if we just dumped Donte to save $12M in cap space and drafted our Diontae Johnson.

Honestly I’m amazed by his fall from grace. On the field he was great for us when healthy for a while. Dude was getting open at will, and had surprising YAC ability too. But clearly shows how much behind the scenes stuff matter and we never know about

      You see, this is why I'm more critical of Dave Canales

      Wow that’s actually really cool chatgpt can do that Although, as we know Arizona sat in soft zone the entire second half. So there was a lot of dinking and dunking, but that’s the right thing to do in that situation.  Week 1 pass chart doesn’t look bad. He pushes the ball downfield more than several other quarterbacks I’ve watched. For some reason the huddle thinks other quarterbacks are constantly throwing 60 yard bombs. That is absolutely not the case. Some quarterbacks aren’t taking any deep shots at all.

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.
