jimmy10 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Who would you rather: Fitz + Stevie or Tyrod + Matthews? Based on known chemistry, 13 and 14. But I'd rather wait until December to answer this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodneykm Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Yes, please. Nothing wrong with giving him a chance. Same as Boldin, yet to a lesser degree maybe, he'd be a good vet to help the young ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountDorkula Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Tyrod can't figure out how to get the ball to our receivers when he knows where they will be on the field. With Johnson's freelancing that pairing would be doomed. Or Johnson and Taylor are both kings of the broken play, so it could work..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoo poonani Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Our WCO offense is timing based and Stevie is an improviser with his route running. He wouldn't be a good fit I don't think. He was best in a time based system. He's allowed to improvise as much as he wants as long as he gets to his spot at the desired time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Agree with those that said he's not a fit for a variety of reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishDave Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 First time Stevie pulls a magic marker out of his sock, McDermott will run over, take the marker and shove it up Stevie's heehaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 He was best in a time based system. He's allowed to improvise as much as he wants as long as he gets to his spot at the desired time. Chan Gailey allowed him to freelance and Fitz was a good match for that...that's what he's best at.

Utah John Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Another question to ask is whether Stevie would be a good fit with Peterman. Once the Bills are about out of it, probably by Halloween with this killer schedule, Peterman will be starting so he can get some experience and the Bills can find out whether they need to draft another QB next spring.

Charlottebillsfan2 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Granted last season Jones and Mathews we not on the roster, Last season the leading Bills WR was Robert woods in 13 games had 613 yards 1 td Number 2 was TE Charles Clay in 15 games 552 yards 4 Td's Stevie Johnson in ten games 497 yards and 3 Td's. So you can argue if he played 3 games more to equal Woods games played he would have had more production then any WR on the Bills Roster. So why would you not bring him in and kick the tires? Perhaps he just plays better in Buffalo. Assuming he looks good and you sign him for a 1 year deal your getting him for pennies on the dollar. Its a position of need take a look at all options right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 That was 2012...he hasn't done squat since. I wasn't advocating bringing him back or suggesting he had deep speed. I was just responding to everyone immediately saying "slot". Marrone tried him in the slot for a bit..... it didn't really work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 There are bad ideas then there is bringing Stevie Johnson back..that enter a whole new realm of bad decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 There are bad ideas then there is bringing Stevie Johnson back..that enter a whole new realm of bad decisions. we could get Stevie, Fred, and trade Tyrod for Fitz and we can party like it's 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 If he will sign for Vet minimum then sure CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan60 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Having Stevie back at 31 makes more sense than Boldin at 37 and the fan base anointed that move as the second coming. Whether Stevie can produce or not only gets answered on the field. And at vet minimum, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thurst44 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) His freelance route running will not fit this offense You're probably right (actually, i pretty much totally agree with you), yet... Would love to have Stevie back! ...this. I'm all for bringing him in and letting him compete the last couple weeks. He was always a lot of fun to have in town (save the untimely drops).

HuSeYiN_NYC Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I have a different mentality. I don't have twitter so I never knew that he kept shouting out the Bills on his page even when he wasn't with us. My mentality is of that, I want players who want us. I don't care if he's washed up as most of you say. I know one thing. He won't look slower than Boldin did. Plus Stevie is a lovable person. I know the locker room will love him and he can mentor Zay. Most of you guys say this season is washed up anyway but you're against bringing in Stevie which makes either no sense or, you REALLY believe we have a shot at having a successful season. If it's the latter, then I say, stop with the tank talk and let's get serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Yes, please. Nothing wrong with giving him a chance. Same as Boldin, yet to a lesser degree maybe, he'd be a good vet to help the young ones. He's been the opposite- freelancing in his routes, placing himself before the team and not being a workout warrior by any stretch.... he's just an old guy, not a stellar influence like some vets.
