Revis himself once said of Johnson:
“He’s probably the most underrated receiver in the league … he’s tough to cover.”
And thats great he said that - but its still nothing more than lore that Stevie did much against him which was the point from the get go.

Imagine getting your a** whooped over and over again by the same person in a fight and still chirping and calling them a p*ssy and talking sh*t lmao. Maybe Hill is related to Daniel Cormier lol

"Stevie Johnson had notable success against Darrelle Revis, a top cornerback, during their NFL matchups. While Revis is widely regarded as one of the best cornerbacks ever, Johnson was one of the few receivers who consistently posed a challenge for him. In their five games against each other, Johnson recorded 15 receptions on 26 targets for 185 yards and two touchdowns, with Revis intercepting one pass intended for Johnson. This level of success against Revis was unusual, leading to discussions about Johnson's unique ability to exploit Revis's coverage. "
So he averaged 37 yards a game lol. As I said, his success against Revis is nothing more than lore.

Stevie used to make Darrelle Revis look like trash. He was by far the hardest WR for Revis to cover in the NFL, and some of his worst games of his career were against Johnson.
No offense - this is complete fan lore off one TD in one game. His catch % is like 40% against Revis and the Jets in the games Revis played. The only 100 yard game Stevie had in his career against the Jets was the year Revis played just 2 games that season and didn't play in either Bills game.

First off thanks!
It factored in playing time for every QB. I had it exclude any and only QB’s that didn’t play 15 games or more.
I went back and double checked it as good as I could.
Your welcome and all good, totally get it. I was more just saying Burrow played 17 games last year and the summary talks about his missing time. So just makes me wonder what else the AI maybe isn't getting accurate. I have had some AI accuracy issues before myself when having it pull or compare some statistical data.

#3 – Joe Burrow (151.0)
“He didn’t need the full season. He just needed rhythm.”
Burrow missed time, but when he played, he passed like only Burrow can:
footwork, timing, and a near-flawless understanding of pressure.
Top 3 in passing. Top 3 in sack discipline. No panic. Just precision.
First, was a cool read and cool work. Ive been using AI to do some really cool things, and seeing others use it in cool ways is always interesting. So kudos sir
But this here makes me wonder about the accuracy, as one of the issues with AI is consistent accuracy in some use cases. Burrow played all 17 games last year and didn't miss anytime. He did in 2023, so if it is coming to conclusions where its weighing time missed by a player who didn't miss anytime it brings into question what other factors its miscalculated.

Shakir is an easy choice for me. I know, shocker lol
But man he’s exciting when he gets the ball, and he’s just a great guy on and off the field and easy to root for. He also puts the work in to be the he best he can be and that carries a lot of weight with me.
I also really like Dion, Keon, and Hairston in terms of just their demeanor and personalities as well. Just fun guys and fun guys to root for.

Wait - is there some sort of silly conversation going on about Tua vs Allen? What is happening. Tua's own mother wouldn't choose Tua over Allen, they are not in the same league.
Take away Tuas first read and good luck with that.
This is the kind of silly conversation that happens when people try and form conclusions on cherry picked items from stat sheets. This is some pink offseason stuff lol

Well at least he finally found a way to go 1.01

Week 1 is going to be a big week for seeding in an already tough AFC. Whoever wins this first game essentially has a 2 game lead in the seeding race as they will be both up one and possess the tie breakers too.
So I like the fact the Ravens are over focused on the past and may press more. Let them bring that emotion into the game as it will start to work against them once something doesn't go their way and the start pressing too much.

Even if he plays 7 games, like the last few years, they are better. The Bills are competing for the bye. If he contributes to 1 win, we’d be better off with him elsewhere.
Again, sure it would be better if no players went to our rivals. But, we can say the same thing about the Bills additions - If Hairston contributes to just one win or Moore, Sanders, Landon, Palmer...etc. Every team can play that game this time of year after adding FA's and Draft Picks - if said new addition can just help them add one more win. End of the day, Bills are in a loaded AFC, it won't be easy regardless if its Ravens, KC, or someone else. Bills need to just handle their business because if we don't there are several teams ready to step in front in the AFC and more on the rise.
So I don't really this making our path to the top seed any different. The floor for the top seed in the AFC this year is 13 wins IMHO, and might need 14 or 15 to secure it.
Week 1 will be a big moment in that battle as it immediately puts one of the top contenders 1 game back and on the losing side of a tie breaker so its more like a 2 game lead at that point. Bills handle their business at home, Ravens threat for over taking us in seeding takes a big hit.

Another good player goes to a great team. He will help them. I was hoping that he’d stay in the NFC but 🤷🏻♂️
In all fairness, he was the 25th ranked CB last year when healthy and he has rarely even been healthy the past 4 seasons. So he first needs to stay healthy and then needs to see if he can find his old form again. Benford was the 5th ranked CB last year for reference.
I would have preferred he signed in the NFC too, but this move doesn't particularly worry me either. If he can stay healthy, I suspect he probably plays better there than he has the last 2 years in GB battling injuries which would be good for the Ravens. But that is a big if...
- He has only played in 14 games since 2022
- He has missed 32 games the past 4 seasons since 2020.
So staying healthy is a real question mark for him, and how well he can play after all these injuries the past 4 years is still a legit question which is why I am not overly concerned about the move either.
FWIW - I know a lot of big GB fans that were not sad to see him go.

I'm really not looking at stats at all. And I am taking the supporting cast into account, that's why I have the most recent Super Bowl champion at #11 on my list. Mahomes just hasn't played at the highest level over the past two seasons. Allen, Jackson, and Burrow all got MVP hype last year. The QB of the 15-1 team got no MVP hype at all. That tells you where the national perception is at right now. Part of it is people recognizing that their defense and special teams was the primary engine to that record. And those parts of the team definitely gave him some leeway that the other top 3 QBs did not have, even accounting for his middling supporting cast.
I hear you on the clutch factor. I just don't think you can weigh it so heavily that you ignore the QB's play for the other 58 minutes of a football game. If you were weighing playoff football heavier then Jackson might be #4 on the list, maybe even out of the top 4 entirely. But I'm just looking at their play on the whole over the entire season.
First...let me just say, this is all subjective, no wrong answers here
Mahomes is more than just clutch though. When he had proper weapons he was setting NFL records. With bad weapons his personal stats have taken a little hit...but it doesn't change the fact they still win, and win a lot and because of him.
Mahomes has been a starter for 7 years and gone to the AFCCG or more in all 7 season consecutive seasons and was the #1 seed 4 times. He has 5 SB appearances in those 7 years with 3 Rings to go along with multiple MVPs and SB MVP's. And he was the main reason for all that success, not like he was coasting behind a dominant team where he wasn't leaned on.
Fun question: Do the Chiefs reach 3 straight Super Bowls if Lamar is there instead of Mahomes? What about Burrow instead of Mahomes? I don't think they reach any Super Bowls the past 3 years with either guy over Mahomes personally and Josh probably was 1 or 2 under his belt instead.
So for me, a QB who hasn't made the playoffs since 2022 and another who hasn't been able to perform at the same levels in the postseason are not leap frogging a guy who just went to his 3rd straight SB despite an inferior cast around him for the past 3 years and has a 100% success rate of reaching the AFCCG every year as a starter for all 7 seasons.
NOTE: I do think playoff performance means more than regular season performance too as you can only be a champion winning in the post season when the pressure and level of opposition are all higher.

Mahomes would be my answer because he’s been so clutch. Along the same argument though, you’d pick Hurts over Lamar or Burrow in the same situation. He’s been more clutch. I wouldn’t take Hurts over either of those 2 (and I’m higher on Hurts than most). I try to look at it as if, “every QB was in the exact same situation what would happen?” There are so many other factors. I know Mahomes is clutch. I know Hurts is clutch. It doesn’t mean that I think either is better than Lamar each week in 2025. It depends on how you define best I guess.
I get what you are saying about Hurts and "clutch" stuff...But Mahomes isn't just clutch, hes proved elite QB play and statistical dominance, and more single season dominance than even Allen, Lamar, or Burrow has shown in their best seasons, when he had legit weapons in different seasons. But since Hill was traded, Kelce has slowed down some with age, his WR's have been mostly trash or hurt, and he has had a mediocre run game and meh OL the past 3 years. Still - 3 straight SB's and 2 rings.
Burrow has missed the playoffs 2 straight years throwing to Chase and Higgins. Lamar had better weapons and Henry who had one of the best RB seasons ever yet didn't last long enough to even face Mahomes in the AFCCG.
It's all subjective, so really no wrong answers here - but IMHO I think you are weighing recent stats a bit too much over talent/ability and not giving the difference in personnel enough consideration into why the stats favor the others more recently.

Actually Mahomes being #4 is not so controversial. Because it's based on how they're playing right now, not their career achievements. Chris Simms ranked Mahomes #4 in his list, Joe Marino did a QB ranking recently and also had Mahomes #4.
I mean lots of people have opinions in sports media, but I bet Chris Simms saying he is 4th would be in the minority - and Marino is a youtuber. I would bet you if you polled every coach, GM, and player in the NFL that Mahomes would not come in as low as 4 and would probably be first.
41 minutes ago, HappyDays said:It's kind of undeniable that the other top 3 are playing at least at his level or higher. For me Allen and Jackson clearly were the two best QBs last year, Burrow and Mahomes I could place in either order. I gave Mahomes the edge because he has that uncanny ability to pull out a close game at the end. But his overall play last year would have lost more games for both the Ravens and Bills IMO.
Stats are not a function of just ability, but also the personnel around him. What Mahomes had to work with compared to Burrow and Lamar last year is not even comparable. Mahomes is in his prime, its not like he is 35 and maybe isn't as good as he once was. As I said, Allen and Mahomes debate has some validity to it, but Burrow cant even get his team to the playoffs and starts in a hole every year and Lamar doesn't have the same post season success as he does in the regular season. Meanwhile, Mahomes wins games and comes through in the clutch moments despite not having the same level of weapons Burrow has had or what Lamar had last year.

Fair and figured that would be controversial. Over the last 2 years, all 3 have been better IMO. It was so hard for me to put him there but those guys have Ben better for 2 years. 🤷🏻♂️
But have they really been better QB's or just guys who got better stats because Mahomes has had arguably the least to work with weapon wise due to injuries or personnel decisions? Burrow hasn't even made the playoffs the past 2 years as his team notoriously starts each season off in a hole and Lamar hasn't been as good in the post season as he has been in the regular season over his career.
Its all in the eye of the beholder, so no wrong answers, just I can get behind the debate of Allen or Mahomes, but Burrow and Lamar over Mahomes just feels like a reach.
Here is an interesting question - Who are you going to give the ball too in the postseason with the game on the line and one final drive to win it? NOTE: Saw a wild stat that Mahomes is the only QB in history with a 100% success rate doing that and no one else in history is even at 50% and Mahomes has done it 7 out 7 times I believe it said.

Did you watch the video of Keon playing basketball? Josh Allen does play basketball but comparing his play to Keon's, again as I have already stated is an absurd reach. And you comments that Allen could hurt his back on a swing or tear an ACL playing softball, all I can say is we are clearly not going to agree on this. No I dont want them in bubble wrap just use some common sense. This is why a lot of teams in their contracts explicitly detail what the players can not participate in.
You do know that stepping on someones foot, hard cuts and sudden stops in basketball are lot higher risk for a significant injury than just landing after a dunk right?
My point isn't that softball or golf is that dangerous, its that dunking isn't this inflated risk its being portrayed as

Thought this would be a fun exercise. We all have opinions on different guys. Instead of using this thread to disagree with someone else’s list, go on record ranking the QBs how you see it as of today. Here’s mine:
1. Allen
2. Lamar
3. Burrow
4. Mahomes
No offense, but unless this is a fantasy football ranking, there are definitely not 3 QB's who are better QB's than Mahomes. Its one thing to play with the Allen or Mahomes thing at 1 and 2...but to put Mahomes 4th is a bit over the top.

True BUT the poster has a legit point, doing windmill dunks so high in the air is taking it too far imo, he very easily could have hurt an ankle, comparing it to Josh Allen playing softball is an absurd reach. If I was McDermott i would not be very happy.
A reach? A guy who plays basketball his whole life dunking isn't some high probability injury situation, the over reaction IMO is a bit of a reach. And guys have hurt their ankles rounding bases or chasing balls in softball plenty of times too. Also not a high probability for risk, but definitely not an absurd comparison either.
Point is - this wasn't that serious and nothing outside the ordinary of what professional athletes do in the offseason either. On the risk factor scale on what they could be doing, this was pretty low.

I'm having a hard time visualizing Josh tearing an ACL over a putt.
He could hurt his back on a swing, could tear an ACL playing his Hydes annual softball game rounding a base or chasing a ball, etc. I mean, its not like these guys are in bubble wrap in the offseason. Allen also plays basketball in the offseason too by the way.
Players across the NFL do this kind of stuff all the time, not sure why its an issue for some when Keon does it in a teammates charity game.

Suffering an injury while doing a bunch of windmill dunks in a charity basketball game would be right on brand for him. They were good dunks, though, I have to admit.
I mean you can say that about any of the guys on the team playing the softball game every year where they can get hurt as well, or these guys just working out in the offseason, or any extra curricular activity that other guys on the team do, including Josh, over each offseason.

multiplying his yards per target by an imaginary and impossible number of targets really doesn't make much of an argument.
By your thinking, it would make more sense to target Coleman over Shakir. If Coleman had 160, he would have had over 1500 yards.....
Remember, I didn't start or make the argument or imaginary numbers...the two of you were discussing if he would or not on Diggs same targets...and all I did was chime in and say that saying "no chance" he could was a silly premise because mathematically is a certainty he would be able to achieve 379 more yards on 60 additional targets, any WR on our roster could and should amass 379+ yards on 60 more targets in this offense.
BUT - I never said he should get that many targets, and as I have said, I don't think any WR should get that many targets in this offense. I don't think any one player should see more than 120 targets in this spread the ball around offense personally.

Drew Brees reveals right arm 'no longer works'
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Yeah it really is sad story - and its why I think its wild when people get so upset when people like Cook or other athletes try to get what they feel they can or what they are worth. What these guys risk and sacrifice to play this game to entertain us is significant, so much so its resulted in tings as extreme as deaths. I know the Seau family, and Jr. Seau's situation was so tragic and devastating for so many.
My wife and I are die hard football fans, we have two young boys, and my 2 year old has athlete written all over him. We both day dream of him being the QB for my Bills or her Niners at some point - but the reality is we would much prefer they became stars in Golf or something instead. Never really thought too heavy about the risks of football until I had 2 sons...and while we dont currently have any plans to prevent them from playing, we are both secretly rooting for them to dominate at Golf instead.
