Time to move on from “Drops” Johnson

If we can get an early 3rd for him in the draft I'd take it in a heartbeat.

At this point I would be happy if some just took his contract off the books in the off season.
 
I think Pickens had two targets and one catch, so he has lots of bandwidth available to pick up the slack. We could probably throw 4-5 sweeps per game his way if we really wanted to test his wheels.

Trade deadline is passed. This is an offseason topic at this point.

Really is. Nothing we can do about it now. We can just hope he drops less and fumbles even less than that.

On win days I am more tolerable with just about everything.

I got a young QB. I'm not trading DJ. Sorry. Not happening.

Why would you want to try and groom a young QB with a WR that continues to drop passes? If a WR can’t catch, who cares what his potential YAC is?
 
This was a far better scenario when it looked like we might get a top 12 pick and might be able to get Addison, who is similar in style to DJ in getting open through superb routes, but with better focus… but you’d need to get an ot with the other first you got… so it’s riskier…

Him not being targeted was intentional. They just gave DJ all of that $$$ to produce. So it looks like that was the game plan. My guess that directive wasn't of Picketts doing. He really didn't even look at Pickens today much. That's a big contrast from last week. It's just the oddest offense I've ever seen. After halftime they just turn it off.

Pickens needs to man up about it. I certainly do get his frustration.
 
How about we fire the offensive coordinator that runs one of the league's worst offenses and turtles entire 2nd halves and see if a decent coordinator can turn Johnson and a bunch of other young, talented, underachieving offensive players around?

We could also fire the head coach who tolerates him too...

Johnson is a symptom of the disease. Look at how Pickens is acting today and Monday night when he doesn't get the ball, there is no leadership from the top down on that side of the ball

The offensive captains are Mitch Trubisky, who had an offseason with the team and Najee Harris, who doesn't exactly scream team leader. I don't know how much of a voice Daniels or Cole has in the locker room. Okorafor has been here for awhile, but he was part of an offensive line that didn't help up his Hall of Fame QB after sacks last year. Not many natural leaders or experience on the offense.

I'm sorry I'm not turning over the number one receiver to anyone who repeatedly tantrums in a win.

Even in the offseason if you get rid of him you need two WRs. They already are short a WR.

Yup, I saw Cam Heward being the one calming Pickens down
 
Whaaattt????

I missed the game. Had to work.
From the sound of things with Pickens. Sounds like DJ is screwing up

Heaven forbids, but that is not a joking matter.

Just as many here, we take our JOBs very serious and double triple check.

I know you're just joking but I can't in this case. I have seen houses burn down (NOT because of my work but because of bad workmanship in the trades).

I am very careful on how fast we move workers up in responsibility and I am a very small company, so quality is everything.

Sorry Paul, double Yoi (don't worry, you're still one of my favorites)


Salute the nation

In those jobs though. They have to care. Otherwise they jeopardize their means of living.

football, you land a hefty contract and make more money than any of us will ever see. You can coast a season or 3, resurge when things look bleak, land an endorsement and you’re well off into retirement

Why does everyone want to undervalue our guys? This is his 4th year… he is 26 so he still has several years in his prime left… he averages 56 yards and 5.3 catches per game played… based on production, age and contract you could get a first for him easily… hell with tge barren wr ufa group this season we might have gotten a first for claypool at the draft ( we kind of did anyhow) … he is the (edit-) 17th highest paid wr and that will drop before next year, a good number two guy costs ten million right now… wrs are grossly overvalued right now

A first??! Lol no chance in hell, you're delusional

Literally i can compare his stats to a couple of guys who just got a first back last year… route runners are a hot commodity right now too… give him to an OC that uses routes to pull people open and he is a huge weapon

Sorry, no chance, at ALL.

Cause he isn't nearly as damn bad as you make him sound.

He CONTINUES to drop passes at critical times, and has since he was drafted.

I’m sorry it hurts to hear this about your cousin/brother/lover etc….

I like the term “Wrongway”.

How about "Drop-a-Day" Johnson?

I cannot believe the guy is still running backwards after the catch. It defies logic that his coaches apparently have not addressed this issue.

How is the OC responsible for a highly paid WR dropping the ball CONSTANTLY?
