Stevie thinks Gilmores better than Revis

"They're probably about the same speed, they have great balance, they can stay over (the) top, but Gilmore is taller," Johnson said, then smiled. "I don't want to say too much ..."

[YardRat]

I hope he turns out to be better than Revis.

[Skooby]

Wouldn't this be a season-changing event, one side of the field nearly off limits for mid-long range throws.

[OpIv37]

I hope he turns out to be better than Revis too, but it's asinine to say that before the guy even has 1 real NFL snap.

I would say that opinions tend to change based on regular-season gameplay. The comment of being asinine is basically discounting a current account of a player's opinion based on his experience on the field with their counter-part.

[OpIv37]

I'm discounting it because it's camp. If Stevie or some other WR that has faced Revis in games 4x+ said that after playing Gilmore in a real game situation, I'd probably buy it. But not after a few days of camp and only one practice in pads.

Obviously, real-game results trump opinions but hearing a defensive opponent admit to someone being a better player than another at one position is going to take time. I'd take it all at face value & witness it for myself on the field before forming a logical opinion, it's still good to hear though.

Height is an advantage at CB. Same skill set but taller then trailing off before he says "too much..."? There aren't a whole lot of other ways to interpret that.

[X-Era]

I think Stevie giving praise to his team mate is normal... expected. Stevie drawing comparisons to Revis is nothing more that backing his team mate. We can put zero stock into a comment like that at this point.

I can really only take it with a grain of salt.

We will know what we have in Gilmore when the real bullets fly.

[X-Era]

I hope he turns out to be better than Revis.I have always felt Revis is overrated...

NO WAY!!! You'd say not enough samples :rolleyes:

[The King]

Well Stevie has certainly sucked since he showed up so maybe... But I would say it would probably take one or two seasons of on the job training before he could even be considered in the same sentence.

[Night Train]

Loved the pick but I wish SJ would just STFU.

[The King]

Loved the pick but I wish SJ would just STFU. Good luck with that.

Dont see what the problem is, he says Gilmore has some of Revis traits and is bigger. Complementing your teammate is a problem now?

[Ed]

Why should Stevie think that Revis is all that great to begin with? He owns him.

[Thief]

Wow, Im thinking Revis is gonna shut SJ completely down this year. I bet he is totally pissed bout all this SJ owns him stuff. Didn't SJ drop the game winning TD the last time the Bills played the Jests?

[TigerJ]

It's perfectly OK to think something, but sometimes it's better not to say it.

[DraftBoy]

It is when you incite that player you're going to go up against twice including in Week 1. There is no reason to give Revis even a shred of locker room material. Stevie held the mental edge over him now Revis has this to motivate him.

[kingJofNYC]

Stevie's statement says nothing.

Some reporter asked him how they compare, and he compared them mostly on physical characteristics (height/speed/balance). Don't see where he says Gilmore is better, unless being taller suddenly makes you the best in the league. Much to do about nothing.

oh boy!


“I will celebrate,” said Johnson. “I’m definitely going to be jumping in the crowd and chilling with the fans. I want to see what would happen if I could get in the stands and get some popcorn and just kick back. Hopefully I don’t get in trouble for that. I don’t know what the rule is.”

[The King]

Johnsons play against Revis is the only reason I was happy he was retained.

[stuckincincy]

I have always felt Revis is overrated...

He's a media darling who gets away with pass interference and holding murder.


IMO.

[X-Era]

No.
Yes

:clap:

Thank you.

And the same people touting Revis would probably call Johnson average.

[The Natrix]

Revis is over-rated. Steve "look at me" shut him down for Christ's sake.
