People think Johnson isn't elite...

Based on what...? He was consistent in all departments throughout the season...

Stats don't mean a thing when it comes to how well someone is playing. Otherwise we could have had meaningful conversations about Keary Colbert's chances of becoming elite his second season. It's all about the eyeball test and CJ was just a guy the first half of the season that did a great job of being in the right place in the right time. Remember that good year Jordan Carstens had? Think that only a bit better.

I think you are really clouding the type of season CJ had, especially as you compared it to Carstens and Colbert. Both had solid seasons for players no one expected to even play.

Johnson led the league in defensive stops from 4-3 DE, was one of the best 4-3 DEs in the run game AND has shown he is in the top 10 for pass rushing over the last 3 years. I really don't understand how you can compare that to Colbert and Carstens...

Thing is, we needed CJ to deliver due to Pep leaving and he did more than anyone expected. He built on his great play as a role player (despite playing enough to almost be on a par with Brayton) from the two prior years and then smashed that this year.

Who cares, let everyone think what they want. Wait till Beason and CJ dominate this year.

Pretty much. You guys care way too much about what the media and stuff has to say. I'm confident in the team, confident enough not to care what other people say.

CJ had a fantastic year and seems poised to do it again. But the argument could be made that his one good year came in a contract year when most players step it up. For him to be elite he has to do it after he gets the big bucks and in a different system like Rivera or wherever he lands. If he does that, then he may be joining the ranks of an elite player.

      Go after Shedeur this offseason.

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you probably should've waited after the season is over before "going there," that way we we'd have four more games of comparison and discussion. Don't get me wrong, I occasionally go out on a limb, but Bryce just had his best game and has given people hope (which could realistically be false hope), and Shedeur just doesn't have that many games under his belt (even if he does look promising), one of them being against the Titans. No harm in being patient and letting things play out.  If you noticed, Tepper seems to be taking a wait-and-see attitude, and he didn't mention Bryce in the clip in the other thread. I'm still highly skeptical of Bryce (and glad that Sanders has shown an ounce of success), but the reality is that we have to let things play out. The Sanders train left long ago (if it was even here). But,there are more realistic options if Bryce turns back into a frog.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      imagine thinking that talking about our next opponent is "gassing up" someone.... and then lying about basic info because it's not flattering to the league's worst starting QB since he arrived.  as a starter he is 2-3 (just a fact) as a starter vs Bryce this year pass yards per game - Shough rush yards per game - Shough comp % - Shough  QB rating - Shough yards/per attempt - Shough and Shough is only good for a 2nd year rookie thrust into the gig on a bad team.   He is getting graded on a curve of what he is.  And he won the last head to head vs us, and looked like the best QB on the field that day.   there are a billion red flags when it comes to Bryce Young.  This is just another.

      Imagine gassing up a 2-4 QB for a terrible division rival with stats worse than our QB in every category except raw yards per game
