Bryant Johnson - Making 9er fans proud

[CaptTurbo]

Man I sure bet the 9er fans are sure glad they got him!

Bryant Johnson 16 208 1 TD

Wow.

 

[Mulli]

Quick blame injuries, the QB, the coach, ASFN, Rod Graves and Joe Paterno.

 

[SuperSpck]

Eh, I'm not willing to throw the Johnson out with the bathwater just yet. I'm not saying he'd be a star, at this point, I think we can safely say he won't be.

But life is about timing in situation and I don't think either is right for him in SF right now.

I'd be interested to see how he'd perform as a number 1 or number 2 WR on a team with a legitimate QB, but he never really did shine when he had those opportunities here, did he?

 

[Russ Smith]

Yeah he's been pretty quiet but he hasn't been healthy all year. One of the first reports I read on him from training camp said something like he had a bad day dropped several balls, I did a little smile like thinking yeah get used to that he'll make some big plays now and then but when you really need it, he'll drop it.

Not Joe Pa! The rest maybe.

 

[ARZCardinals]

He was a fool to turn down some of the 'offers' they said he had.

He could have played for a lot more money with a better qb....instead someone got him the fantastic deal of playing a 1 year deal for the 9ers and Alex Smith.

His agent must HATE him!

good bye pay day....hello min. wage next year.

Wow, I hadn't realized that Johnson took a one year deal from San Francisco. But shame on his agent also!

Regarding his numbers, I won't defend Johnson as it is clear that Breston is having a better year here as the #3 than Johnson ever did. There is one caveat however, it could only help if he played on a team with a real QB...

 

[TJ]

On a serious note, Steve Breaston making Cards fans proud!!

Yeah, IIRC he got a good offer from the Bills.

 

[Pariah]

Johnson dropped a lot of balls here, but he seemed like a class act.

I hope he does succeed somewhere else next year.

 

[TRW]

Catching (or trying to catch) passes from J.T. O'Suckivan probably isn't too easy. He seems to like throwing to the other team as much as he does his own.

I think Breaston "replaced" him very nicely.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

johnson lost a starting spot in SF and is the obvious leak in the singletary story

at least he gets the opportunity to play somewhere else next year

I'm not throwing the johnson out with the bathwater either! Yikes!

Not Joe Pa! The rest maybe.

Exactly.

 

[young tone]

eh its only a 1 year deal. Not too much of a risk

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

Bryant Johnson is the last thing on my mind right now. But when I think of it, I am glad he is not on out payroll

 

[az1965]

So glad he left and giving opportunity to Breaston... as is obvious, BJ is not even a #3 material... Breaston has done one hell of a job as a #3.

 

[EuroCard]

208/16 = 13 yds per reception.

Thats not too shabby for this offense; consider that there number 1 receiver has only 24 catches on the season, No2 23, then there are not a lot of balls being thrown to the WRs. Gore has the most catches at 31!

Our top three have 49, 42 and 39 receptions each!

Breaston has done a hell of a job as a #2.

The Cardinals are sick at WR.

Never thought of him being the leak, but with MJ being the one to intially report it, it does make a lot of sense. Who else on the Niners has a relationship with MJ?

 

[CaptTurbo]

Just read on a 9ers board that had a link that Johnson has been benched for the upcoming game.

yeah - and yesterday MJ was talking about having to do an upcoming conference call with singletary and not really looking forward to it - they played mikes reaction to the leak and MJ said something like "he's a smart guy, it should be fairly obvious - but they need to move on as a team and not shoot the messenger"

Don't shoot the messenger, just cut him.

 

[pogoowner]

Injuries, as well as the emergence of Josh Morgan have hurt him a lot this season. He's looked relatively solid when fully healthy, but he hasn't made the impact the front office was hoping for.

This is consistent with when he was here... he didn't do anything when given the opportunity as a #2 while Boldin was out.

Ha ha! $2 mil waste of roster space. Now they know how we felt for 5 years
