No he's not. You still living in the past. Hopkins has been injury prone over the last few years and he's no longer a deep threat WR.

 

Johnson at this point is a better WR.

What has always made Nuk great in his prime was his hands and ability to go up and get the ball.  He has never lost that.   he is auto 1000+ WR if healthy even at his current age.  He was last year with a trash rookie QB.  

Healthy? Nuk all day.  If you are trying to win now? Nuk.  Dionate a better investment for a team looking further out.

Well he has no excuses now. He's got the best QB in the NFL. I want results.

I mean, he put up 1000+ with rookie Levis last year.   Results is what he does.  Just about staying on the field.

Anyone losing sleep over Diontae Johnson is beyond help. The Steelers certainly aren't missing anything.

Anyone not losing sleep over the thought of XL and Mingo is beyond help. 

 

All fun n games until we see this offense without Johnson.

Coker actually looks good, but are you expecting us to look a lot worse without DJ?  We are looking historically bad.  Might as well develop some young guys if we are going to get demolished every week...

Yes we will look a lot worse. Neither XL/Mingo/Coker have proven to be a deep threat. Who's making plays down the field after we trade Johnson?

Cool so instead of scoring 7 we score 0.  We still get a pick and remove a veteran who is setting a terrible example.  You do see him giving up on routes right?  Guess who also has the most INTs when targeted in the league out of WRs?  I will give you a hint, he is a Panthers but not XL, Mingo, or Coker....

Overpaying Diontae Johnson which is what it would have taken to even begin to convince him to stay is not going to help us in the long run.

If you wanna hitch your wagon to him do your thing bud.

Yeah and if we want to overpay a WR we are better off throwing money at Higgins in the offseason. He is much better.

If we’re gonna overpay a receiver I’d rather ship DJ and a pick to the jets for Garrett Wilson

It’s not fun and games.  We are losing every week by 20-30 points.  If we didn’t have Johnson we’d still be losing every week by 20-30 points.  Overpaying Johnson won’t do any more than overpaying Christian Kirk did for Jacksonville.

I was fine with slightly overpaying Johnson until he started to clearly quit and somewhat throw teammates under the bus. I don't blame him for the frustration but it doesn't mean it endears me to him.
