So from what I understand there was a lot of tension in Pitts locker room and inconsistency with the QBs and their play. Johnson wanted out !! As a Panther I’m thrilled to have him !!! We were going to cut Jackson , so I’m happy we got a good receiver
Dionte is a cry baby don’t give much effort and can make a great 5 yard catch but drops a 3rd down pass o yeah he will run backwards on third down and cost you a drive
@@skywalker1217 yup , panthers only gave up a guy we were cutting and switched one round in the draft in the later. Panthers got off good I’d say. Literally if we cut Jackson , we would have got nothing ,,, instead we got Johson !!!
Unfortunatly DJ isn`t that much better. Yes, he is a really good route runner but he has some other special attributes. If you need 5 yards DJ is constantly give you 3 yards. Typical DJ is: Catching the ball right on the sticks, running 5 yards backwards and try to fake out defenders. Fails and run sideways for 8 yards and make 3 yards at the end. Get also ready for a lot of dropped balls and complaining about everyone except himself. DJ is a real diva that never get near his potential. He could be one of the best in the league but his ego is greater than every stadium and the team.
@@Standgedicht oh I no longer have confidence in my teams ability to pick players yet I am still with em every Sunday. I have learned to ignore the hype and take the season as it comes
Keon looks like our guy. Fell far enough after the combine, and a lot of teams might overpick on AD, and, like 89 said, force him into a spot that will hard his development. Keon is probably the most day one ready wideout outside of the big three names at the moment.
As a Steelers fan he definitely wanted out. If you watch his film over the years he’s really good but not elite. He gives up on plays, doesn’t block, had a lot of tension in the locker including a big spat with mincha last year when he didn’t go for a fumble, he also runs backwards or sideways constantly.
I like dionta Johnson last year he was hurt but when he rolled back he was a good flex wr3 and at his ceiling wr2 production if you get lucky. I like him being a number 1 in Carolina with Pickens being a number 1. They both will be solid wr3 options or 2s in fantasy
It’s good to see people talking good about Diontae because the dude is always open and has fixed his drop problems. He is going to be big time in Carolina in my opinion. Crazy the price tag was so low in my opinion.
Johnson is probably the best route runner in the league. As a Steelers fan I'm going to miss his play. But to be honest he's not the most trustworthy catcher either which was why his Cotract was always in question because he knows he could have done better & Pittsburgh knew they could have done better on their end w/ the QB. BUT with an aging Big Ben he was able to turn Johnson into a pro bowler so hopefully carolina has a plan at QB with Young.
Not to mention he gives up on plays , doesn’t block, doesn’t score lol DJ was good but I’m not worried as a Steelers fan, he’ll be replaced and the Steelers always seem to hit on receivers in the draft.
@@Keefer24lol you Steelers fans are hilarious. Good luck with the pass game. Having someone that is open the majority of the time is a big loss on a team that already can’t throw the ball.
DJ was frustrated with the Steelers QB play, and publicly expressed support for Mason Rudolph. Panthers have a great acquisition in Johnson. As a Steelers fan, I hate this trade.
What’s your source? Everything I’ve heard says the exact opposite. DK said in his podcast this morning that he was Pickens’ personal baby sitter this past year
@@marcuswilliams5255 Johnson is a chronic complainer. He fights with teammates and drops passes right in his hands. Think about who took him on a trade., the Carolina Panthers. Maybe the worst franchise in the NFL.
Yes, my 1qb league dynasty qb is russell wilson (Rodgers is also on my roster but I've been using wilson for many years) and I have Dionte, also. I was happy to have the Pitt connection...for all of a day and a half!!
For the dry guy on the right, tell us how you really feel 🙄 Dionte is an absolute gem. He can run every route, a magnificent separator, and if you hit him in stride, he's excellent after the catch. He is a gem and easily Carolina's best receiver now. You also can't discuss his statistical inconsistencies without acknowledging Tomlin kept Canada as OC, and crowned Pickett as the quarterback of the future for past 2 years. If Bryce Young is any good, He and Johnson should connect early and often.
@@kevykev388Hm, you just seem like a bryce hater ngl. Even ignoring the oline issues, they literally explain to you in a whole segment how bad the panthers wide receivers were and how that affected the offense. What a casual
Steeler fan here. Enjoy. (especially the drops, the running backwards after the catch, the giving up on plays, and the locker room freak outs) hope he works better for you guys!
uhh i like what yall saying but i would argue that hunt was probably the best upgrade since Bryce was drafted. Though i am still pumped about this signing !
I hope it works out but they do and will need a huge WR or TE from what I see of Johnson is he does get open but he really Doesn't blow the top off the defense we'll see tho KP
These are facts! Folks forget Thielen is a 2 time pro bowler. He was WR1 in Minnesota before a younger/faster Diggs and then Jefferson were drafted. Thielen can run the whole route tree. It's because of Bryce he was restricted to being the go to guy always within 10 yards.
We will see a different Brycethis year I put money on it,when you got not fans or analyst but players who k ow him they know ow 90% of this was panthers
Steelers fan.hes a great route runner.we got bent over.hes not a great teammate but he'll put on a good face in the beginning.also not injury prone but did miss time off and on.
I love the move. I think the Panthers should draft a WR to develop because DJ is on a one year deal and then take care of the defense. Ideally, I would love to see us draft AD Mitchell, Keon Coleman or Xavier Legette.
If they’re being paid by a sponsor they have to mention it so there’s that unless you want to supplement the income for them out of your pocket which I’m sure the answer is no
Steelers fan. Dionte is extremely talented and will make huge plays all over the field and is a great possession receiver but he also has at least one brain fart a game that will have you cussing and scratching your head. He runs in circles after a lot of his short catches trying to escape and get more yards but usually loses yards in the process and he can also have games where he drops easy passes.
The Panthers need to sign some veterans tackles to protect Bryce Young & sign Mike Williams #2 WR Chase Claypool as the number #3 WR in that franchise so they can win some games
Consider all the negative reports about him in the locker room. Consider that he only has a year left and will NOT be resigning. Now, watch the highlight of him giving absolutely zero effort against the Bengals this year. That's why he cost so little, Hayden. Addition by subtraction. It is pointless to keep a guy who feels like he's being held prisoner and already has shown he will just straight up quit on you.
Finally we did something for the pass game. Stacked O-Line Dionte Johnson -WR 1 Smith- Marsette -WR 2/slot DJ Chark -deep threat Adam Thielen - WR2/slot
it's not about money for Pittsburgh. it's insubordinate behavior that was making George Pickens more dramatic than he already was. The locker room was getting heated at times. the new coaches in Pittsburgh are not going to let that kind of stuff fly. they know they can land a WR in this deep receiver draft class. Carolina is gonna be good now though. Mingo is diet AJ Brown. just watch what he can do when he gets more snaps. they dont need to draft another this year.
Bryce Young was supposed to be an NFL ready QB but turns out he can't throw accurately over 15 air yards and didn't in college either lol. Yeah let's blame the WRs for lack of separation when they were restricted to curls and out routes cause the QB can't target anywhere else on the field accurately.
Diontae Johnson is a great route runner, but a bit soft (both body and between the ears). He's more than worth what Carolina paid... which isn't much... but Diontae Johnson can be a diva. His lockroom personality may improve with the move.
He didn’t want out, they didn’t like that he endorsed Mason Rudolph at the end of the season and amongst other things he almost lost us the Bengals game mid play by giving up mid play. I wanted him traded but not for this.
He's doesn't fit in Pittsburgh new offense, plus he wanted out drama queen , 👑 wait Pittsburgh trending up a lot more than the Panthers are com on man 😂
Get ready for a 500-800 yard season, two touchdowns, dropped balls and a lot of complaining and diva behavior. His highlights are nice but that`s not his typical playstyle. If you need 5 yards he constantly gives you 3. Oh, he catches the ball on the sticks but than try to fake defenders and running 5 yards backwards. After that he spins and fakes, running 8 yards sideways and somehow he manage to make 3 yards. After that he starts to complain about coaches, team mates and everyone excluding himself. Of course he will be happy to finally have escaped the bad city of Pittsburgh. Until he realizes your quarterback is even worse. Then the rant starts. To be fair, DJ might be one of the best receivers in the league. Unfortunately, his ego, which is bigger than Antonio Brown and Prime Time combined, gets in his way. Have fun with him!
He was not any good. 2 years with out a touchdown. He is a smartass. I'm glad he is gone He is over rated y'all will see. Every top wide receiver that left Pittsburgh has ended bad for their career. Juju Wallace brown Holmes etc..Pittsburgh don't keep players who don't wanna be there. But this dude cannot catch trust me. At least he didn't for Pittsburgh.
Whatever guys.... Y'all just wasting time talking about this garbage organization....We never have cap space... We're always broke... We do the same bullshit year in and year out...Once a player get good we let em go....Josh Norman, Steve Smith, McCaffrey, DJ Moore, Kelvin Benjamin, Hassan Reddick....... The list goes on and on....We suck 🤮🤮🤮
I am not a Steelers fan, but dragging a team quarterbacked by Kenny Picket to the playoffs year-after-year is borderline miraculous. If Tomlin had been the HC of the Cowboys or the 49ers this past season they could've absolutely won the whole thing.
Steelers continually prove they are both elite at identifying WR talent *and* selling high on those guys. AB, Claypool, Martavis, Juju... I figure they know what they are doing.
