Hilarious. People arguing the validity of a leaked report (ESPN) versus Johnsons tweet. :)

I don't think validity is the argument, it's that Johnson's tweet leaves alot open for interpretation.

stevie's tweets could mean all sorts of things....

 

#1- it ain't official to i sign....

 

#2- the agent reached a verbal agreement with team late last night and will tell stevie all the details this morning.

 

#3- he's still undecided if he should accept bills offer now...or wait to test free agency.

 

bottom line...they must be pretty dang close...schefter, while not always right...is certainly usually right.

 

looks like all of the above....except #3.

 

Now lets start with the "Bills are stupid to sign Johnson" posts.

 

PTR

 

i like ralph is cheap better...

where are your facts? when you call someone out like that you could drop a few yourslef but I know you dont have any. Heres some "facts" stevie is much slower than Desean, mush smaller and slower than VJ and are we only allowed to look at 2 seasons worth of stats because you say so? So im ignorant because I dont bow to stevies "numbers" which arent that great, barely a 1000 and 76 receptions is about as good as 20 guys a season around the league for the last 20 years or so. WHAT A TALENT! I would consider your argument if he caught a 100 balls and 1200 yards or so, either that or 12 plus touchdowns a season. His numbers arent really that good for being THE guy on a team that runs a spread offense. Dont other teams with this O have 2 or three guys a year with these numbers? New Orleans for example has three guys w over 80 catches this year and colsten has better numbers in every category this season than SJ. The two giant receivers both had better numbers than stevie this year and the lions have three guys with more than 70 catches. If stevies stats are your argument, you lose the argument. His stats are pedestrian so who needs to get a clue? No one is saying how great the third best receiver on the lions is but he has 73 catches and 5 td's and he got the ball as the third option! so how good is 76 for 1005 and 7 tds? just slightly above average.

 

Just because he is our best doesn't mean we should overpay. And "Overpay" means panicking and offering more than we should when we could get a better guy for the same money. why not wait him out and pay him less as the other guys get picked up by other teams. Its a buyers market this year for WR, so why rush? unless we get a nice discount it goes against business sense to straight out pay him "just to not create a whole". Im sure we can pay alot of guys to fill any whole for 9 million dollars.

 

And is this the only year and the only guy we will ever have to sign? what happened to "defense wins championships", and "without a line, the qb cant throw" arguments? Levitre, Bell, jackson, draft picks, free agent TE? We arent doing that good salary cap wise. I must be ignorant not to want to spend whatever it takes to get a slightly above average WR to resign with the team where he already lives and knows everyone and is the number 1 guy. I hope the deal is for less than 8 million or just wait til stevie has one bad year or a couple more game-losing drops and people here will be screaming to trade him or cut him because "he makes too much".

Wow where do I begin....

76 receptions is no big deal right? how about the fact that VJ has never had more than 68and DeSean more than 62 in a season

 

You don't want me to only compare the last 2 years? Okay in a 7 year career VJ has 272 receptions in a 4 year career (with 2 getting barely any playing time mind you) he has 170 receptions (well on pace to be ahead of VJ). In the same 4 years (starting all of them) DeSean has 229 receptions. So I guess with 2 extra years DeSean got 59 more catches which is far from spectacular.

 

You would consider my argument if Stevie caught 100 balls for 1200 yards or 12 tds right? Do you realize that never in either of VJ or Mesean's career they've reached those numbers.

 

His numbers aren't that good for being THE GUY? How about having the most yardage against Revis or the fact that he is the only threat on the team at wr. Defenses must focus on Antonio Gates, (at one time) Tomlinson, Sproles, Malcolm Floyd (better than anyone else we have) for SD. For the Eagles they have Maclin, McCoy, and Celek to pull coverage off of them.

 

How good is 76 for 1005 and 7 tds? I would say comparable to 60 for 1106 and 9 tds (VJ) and much better than 58 for 961 and 4 tds (DeSean)

 

I will also add rank these 3 qbs: Vick, Rivers, Fitzpatrick

 

Come on man I know he plays for the Bills and gets no ESPN love but I think I more than proved that he is at least on par (if not better than) VJ and DJ. Somehow you would rather pay 2 guys who have been quitters on their team over someone who has been solid...
