Walker when healthy has been a big time WR in the NFL, people forget before injury he was a 1,200 to 1,300 receiver with 9 TD's. Johnson was chosen in the 1st round from Penn State and hasn't put up big number his entire career. I'd like the threesome of T.O. Walker and Glenn with Crayton coming off the bench and handling the dirty work.
I haven't forgotten anything, where Walker is concerned. Many of the older posters know that I have been a big fan of Walker for a long time. I really wanted us to trade for him when he was in GB. Now, I worry about his health. If he is healthy, I think he could be a real good WR. Having said that, Walker has only started 39 games in 5 seasons. When he's healthy, yeah, he's real good. But in 05, he played only 1 game. In 06, he played all 16 games and he had a an OK season with 69 catches, 1084 yards, 8 TDs, 15.7 YPC. Last year, he only started 6 games and played in 8. His numbers were pretty horrible. Two injuries in the last 3 years.
Johnson, you can say that he hasn't put up numbers but lets be honest here. He's playing Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Bolden. I mean, you can make the arguement that if T.O. were playing for Az., he might not start either. Johnson might not be better then Fitz or Bolden but thats not really saying much. Those are two of the top 5 or 6 WRs in the NFL. Certainly, I'd say both are top 10 at least. When Johnson got opportunities in Az, he produced. He's big, he's fast, he's quick and he runs good routes. I think Johnson is a guy who will surprise a lot of people. I also think he's a guy who you might be able to sign more reasonably then maybe Walker.
I don't know. I think I'd rather have Johnson. He's not a health risk and that's a big thing when you have to give up the kind of contract that it's going to take to sign one of these guys.
