BillsPhan Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Stevie J. has Pro Bowl numbers this season, and it looks even better compared to his rookie year last season. Great break out year, great numbers and.....one real bad dropped pass. I believe if he catches that gorgeous pass in the end zone to upset the Steelers in OT, his ticket to Hawaii would be punched. Instead, his fellow players from the NFL watched his drop over and over on ESPN all week after, and that stuck in their minds more then all of the good things he accomplished. Of course the Bills sucking this season played into it too, but that fact hurt Kyle Williams much more then Stevie. Let's face it, the WR's are the divas of the NFL, and Stevie likes to act out like a diva when he gets into the end zone. Diva's need to make more plays then quiet subdued WR's and Stevie hopefully learned a tough lesson....catch the easy passes in the end zone to win games! As for big Kyle, nobody is going to vote in the nose tackle for the worst run defense in the NFL for any Pro Bowl. End of story. As a die hard Bills fan, I like both those players and think they both did have Pro Bowl type seasons. Stevie needs to work hard this off season and make even more plays next year to repeat since defenses will start doubling him next year. Williams on the other hand needs some real NFL caliber linemen and linebackers to play with him much more then he needs to improve his own game for next season. If there is a next season, that is.

AReed Deep For 7 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 (stevie j is in his third yr) but yea that drop didnt help get him in the pro bowl (worst all-star "game" in all of sports anyways) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungmack Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Your analysis is right on the money. The kid was hot with the media at that time and had he made that catch to beat the mighty Stillers in OT, I think he'd be one hot commodity right now. Once he dropped that (and made those ill-advised tweets), he instead became a laughing stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadidliac Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 If he catches that ball then history is rewritten. That was by far the worst non wide open catch all season. For the Bills to come back like they did and then one man misses a wide open victory catch. If I was his teammate, I would be a little p-d off to say the least. He was probably thinking about how he was going to celebrate. After some of the catches we have seen him make...maybe he was just too wide open.

Mr. WEO Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I don't think he beats out Reggie Wayne even if he makes that catch. Not that Wayne belongs there. The guy who clearly got screwed is Bowe. Better year than Steve Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Trooth Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 When Stevie consistently draws double coverage and still puts up numbers, then, and only then can he even be considered for the pro bowl. Johnson only got his numbers because Evans was getting all the defensive attention. This team is 4-11 for a reason. Because the players suck. We need to acknowledge that. There is not one player on this Bills team worhty of the pro bowl. Not one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Don't worry, he had plenty of other missed catches before and after that (especially after) that kept him out of he Pro Bowl They guy has had a couple of good games and a bunch of bad ones. He was all over the media more for his tweets and celebrations then his play on the field, seems he did learn alot from T.O. last season The kid needs to spend more time working out on the field making catches and less time tweeting and coming up with celebrations.

bowery4 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I love that one of the best players on the team is belittled by the "fans" on this site sometimes. It is not just the team that sucks sometimes. I understand the "last decade" and all that but come on guys you can do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Don't worry, he had plenty of other missed catches before and after that (especially after) that kept him out of he Pro Bowl Thank you for this. If he caught half of his drops there would have been no keeping him away from probowl status. The kid has potential, but if he doesn't correct his habit of dropping passes he will fade into oblivion.

We're so desperate for anything to cheer about that a player who has a good season is immune from any critique, even if the critique (drops) is the same one we raked another player (Owens) over the coals for a year ago?

(his "mentor" last season) Both have potential to be greater, but seem to have a problem holding onto the ball when thrown to. They both received the most media attention not for their play on the field, but more for their "off field" antics (tweeting, interview comments) and TD celebrations. T.O. could have put up numbers to be considered one of the greatest WR's ever to play the game, instead he will be known for what he says/does off the field. Atleast Stevie has time to correct this and become a very good WR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go post somewhere else because you are obviously not a Bills fan and they don't need your negative vibes. Ahh that felt good. Look we get that you don't like the Bills. Go Away.

The kid has potential, but if he doesn't correct his habit of dropping passes he will fade into oblivion. Great post! You're on the money Bill. I'd really like Stevie to learn from Andre Reed's example. Reed spent LOTS of practice time working on catching passes. When you get good enough, it becomes muscle memory. Although he (Reed) also had some inopportune drops in his career, there were a lot more clutch receptions. Stevie could emerge as a true pro-bowl receiver if he takes his performance up another notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 The pro bowl is worthless you can see with your eyes that Stevie and Kyle had good years on a bad team. Don't let a popularity contest where reputation often determines who gets in get you down on Stevie and Kyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
