Diontae Johnson on lack of downfield throws: “We’re not the ones calling the plays”

[Dorian Gray]

Seems like a perfectly healthy situation.

Nuclear implosion 2 games in.  Kudos tepper

Train wreck after eight quarters is pretty remarkable. The whole organization is a disaster

They don't call deep throws because their QB can't see the receivers to throw deep. Bryce threw deep in college with a wish and a prayer because his receivers were so much more talented than the opposition.

No surprise. He's a diva and this is such a bad situation for him.

Hell, he cannot throw deep because his arm is not strong enough and he has to either tiptoe or jump, which makes it worse. IF he could plant and run into it, maybe, but that is not possible in the NFL.

Diontae is playing for a contract this season and got stuck with the worst QB in the league

He’s going to lose his mind soon and rightfully so

Call in the offensive captains and let them light a fire under the team by holding players accountable.

Oh wait... nvm. Panthers are cooked.

[Mr. Scot]

Doesn't matter who calls the plays when the quarterback can't execute them.

This team is coming apart at the seams just two games in....total Sh#t show

It was a train wreck after two quarters.

Yep. We brought a guy who is known to have a volatile temperament who is in a contract year and paired him with a QB who can't effectively throw past the LOS. The guy might be an asshole but even a genuinely good guy would eventually erupt as he literally watches millions of dollars of future earnings go up in smoke.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't find the overall statement that "diva like" in context.
