That catch would have been on the 20 so lets pump the breaks on game winning TD.

He was the only reason their offense was still in the game.

yeah, maybe if he caught it and kneeled it down at the 20. There was a whole lot of green ahead of him. He was gone for a TD if that was caught.

At least he scores TDs!

Bennett 1 TD

Williams 2 TDs

Hester 1 TD

Knox 2 TDs

Stevie Johnson 7 TDs

They way i look at it is Stevie Johnson > All current recievers. Stevie Johnson > Nothing. Sure he's not the best WR out there, but you know Bowe and Jackson are going to have a lot of suitors and i would much rather have Johnson than nothing. You certainly try and get the other 2, but i would be satisfied with Johnson. This is assuming we then also draft a reciever.

having 2 years in a row with just over 1000 yards doesn't mean much to me. Especially when you're the main option on a team in a passing era.

Then what is the Bears excuse for not having a 1000 yard WR since Booker in the passing era? Good job thanks for clearing that up for me.

Please don't put an aged Roy over Stevie whos 25 (?) theres a huge difference. He's head and shoulders better than ANYTHING the Bears have.

Would you honestly get upset if they signed him over someone else? Like really? GTFO with that man. Stevie's drops have also been brought up. But these are the same people who would welcome B-Marsh with open arms.

I believe he lead the NFL in drop percentage or drops this past season. Stevies not on his level but you get what I'm saying hopefully. The dude would be an automatic 1 on this team.

As for being the only weapon in the passing game for the Bills, doesn't that make his #s all the more impressive? All they really have to do is key on him keep safety over top and bump him at the line. But I guess that would be too easy and people don't take him seriously because hes a bill, right?

that just shows how bad our WR's are, not how good Johnson is. 7 TD's isn't even a lot.

Johnson got Targeted 135 times this season. He should have somewhere around 7 TD's.

Maybe because the QB's we have had sucked? And in the past 3 years, Cutler hasn't had a main target... or I'm sure someone would have went over 1000.

who's using an aged Roy Williams? I used Williams as an example when he was 5 years younger than he is now. People thought he was good because of those 2 years he had.. then what happened to him?

Like I just pointed out to WindyCity.. Johnson got targeted 135 times this season. He SHOULD have gotten over 1000. and he JUST got over 1000. It's not like he had 1400.

Would you honestly get upset if they signed him over someone else? Like really? GTFO with that man. Stevie's drops have also been brought up. But these are the same people who would welcome B-Marsh with open arms.

If the Bears actually attempt to go after Bowe, Jackson, etc. and don't get any of them, I wouldn't be pissed if we got Johnson. I just said I don't want him because of his dropping issues. You do realize that's an important job as a WR right? To catch the ball?

If we went after Johnson as our first target, then yeah.. I would be pissed because I don't think he's as good as you're making him seem.

and yeah, Marshall has some drop issues as well. But he's A LOT better than Johnson. And it's not only the drop issues with Johnson, it's the timing of them. He seems to always drop the crucial passes.

As for being the only weapon in the passing game for the Bills, doesn't that make his #s all the more impressive?

not really. Especially since he didn't really ever get double covered 2 years ago because no one really knew who he was. Plus they had Lee Evans still. Last year when teams started to respect Johnson more, his numbers suffered a little.

Plus, this season he went over 100 yards in a game ONCE. he had less than 5 catches NINE times. Counting 5, he had 5 or less catches TWELVE times.

yeah.. that's the #1 guy I want. Someone who'll give you 5 catches and around 65 yards a game.

Johnny Knoxville was one mental meltdown game away from 1000 yards a year ago. If we signed Johnson I'd be concerned which games he'd be up for playing. He seemed to be pretty quiet against the NFC teams this past year

screw that. Trade Knox and a 2nd for Marshall.
