Does Stevie Johnson "Fit," In The Bills Offense?

[BillsImpossible]

Goodwin and Graham got their chance and shined. Hogan played well too. I think the offense we saw against the Jets is what Hackett envisioned. Run the ball (even if it's not working) and hit the big plays on the edge with two speed receivers.

The offense exploded in 30 mph winds. Longest pass plays of the year. Multiple big plays were made, and EJ Manuel had his best day (so far) as the Bills franchise QB against a good Jets defense.

Robert Woods didn't play today, and neither did Stevie Johnson.

Woods has played very well for a rookie. Stevie Johnson is due to make over $8 million next year.

Stevie Johnson is good, but I think Jairus Byrd is better.

I hate to say this, because Stevie Johnson has always played his nuts off for the Bills, but I think he has been holding the Bills offense back and might not see a lot of time for the rest of the season - even if he's healthy.

Never been a fan of him.
Too many drops, too many injuries, and too much mouth.

You're not a fan of anybody.

Who would you rather keep right now? Byrd for $9 million per season, or Stevie Johnson at $8.5 million in 2014, $8.85 million in 2015 and $8.95 million in 2016?

I believe Stevie is due a roster bonus this offseason.

It would surprise me if they cut or traded him as all it would do is create another hole they have to fill.

We can let Stevie go and draft Sammy Watkins! YaY!

Spin the wheels.

Another hole to fill? I think you missed my point. Johnson is replaceable. He's good, not great. He does not have game changing speed. Graham and Goodwin are rookies with game changing speed. Robert Woods is fast too, but not as fast as Goodwin and Graham. Graham is not a rookie.

The offense really opened up today without Johnson in the lineup. I don't think he's on the team next year because the Bills are going to pay Jairus Byrd big money instead.

Why not both?

Why does everyone always present an either/or scenario when it comes to players?

When Stevie was healthy earlier in the season he was making more plays. He's fighting through injuries and why been less than great of late. We have more than enough cap room to keep Stevie and Byrd so you keep both. I also say bring in another vet WR in here to add to the mix as inspite of their play today I can't say I'm confident in Goodwin and Graham on a week by week basis.

Yes he does, IMO, that is a no brainer. The thing I take away is that Hogan & Goodwin need more snaps.

I'm thinking he's not on next seasons Bills roster.

Or maybe we'll move Spiller because he wasn't great this year and draft Ka'Deem Carey in the draft.

An 80 catch 1000 yards receiver is replaceable?

What are you gonna do roll with Woods as the 1, Goodwin the 2, Graham the 3?

You need to bring in someone to replace the production. Woods hasn't shown he can be the main target yet. Goodwin is the guy who's gonna stretch the field and make a few plays underneath and Graham just runs as he's not all that good at anything else.

Hogan is meh and easily replaceable. Easley is a bum and easily replaceable.

Johnson is not easily replaceable.

Johnson is not easily replaceable.

He is when the QB plays the way he did today.

Because the Bills can't pay a #3 slot receiver $8.5 million for a guy who is close to 30 years old, does not have game changing speed, and can be replaced with depth.
