Stevie Johnson...Hands remind me of Robert Royal

[baalworship]

I know we are supposed to be happy that he got over 1,000 yards and a lot of TD's. But I am really sick of watching him drop pass after pass that would be a 1st down. The Pittsburgh game was not an aberration. He really needs to spend off-season getting that figured out.

That drop vs Pitt saved us like 5 draft spots

Re: Stevie Johnson...Hands remind me of Robert Royal

He's one of the most lovable players now because he has fun and is exciting, but his drops are very worrisome. Wait til we play in a game that matters, he will absolutely kill us, and be the most hated man in town. lol

Glad somebody pointed this point.

Do people forget T.O. has had the same problem his entire career?

Re: Stevie Johnson...Hands remind me of Robert Royal

I think it's pretty obvious we still need a true #1 WR at this point. Not saying we need to take Green at 3rd overall, as one of the top WR's (Baldwin?, Floyd?) MAY fall to us in the 2nd. Would love to see Floyd on this team.

Re: Stevie Johnson...Hands remind me of Robert Royal

Seems like if he's open on short/intermediate routes he is surehanded. Problem is if he needs to make a catch in traffic, he's very unreliable. It needs to get fixed.

Not sure he'd ever make it in the NFL. He lacks separation speed. In college, he gets away with it, but in the NFL, not sure he would.

Maybe, maybe not. I don't know much about his speed, but I do know he has good hands. He also has done well in run-blocking from the limited amount I saw this year. I have a feeling that aspect is important to Nix/Gailey.

Re: Stevie Johnson...Hands remind me of Robert Royal

Floyd has never been a burner yet the kid still makes huge plays. I think floyd is a much better receiver than tate is and he went in the 2nd if I remember correctly. Floyd has size and can make the difficult catch. Would love to see him in buffalo.

Stevie has amazing hands. It's more a lack of constant concentration. A lot of talented young WRs have suffered through this in their careers.

I doubt it continues to be a problem.

Re: Stevie Johnson...Hands remind me of Robert Royal

Damn, can't we just be glad that we finally have a good WR on our team (T.O. was good, but we all knew that was a 1-year rental).

We haven't had a decent WR since Moulds was in his prime. Yes, he's had some drops lately. Maybe if he had awesome hands, we wouldn't have gotten him in the 7th freaking round.

Re: Stevie Johnson...Hands remind me of Robert Royal

82 catches, from 12 in his career prior to this year. Concentration sucks, but let's give him a bit more time to prove himself before he's placed on the run out of town bus?

IMO Green is no longer a factor unless we trade down. It's been pared to Luck, Dareus or Peterson.
