    I'm sure that will calm things right down and get the fans back on his side. The fans didn't just get a huge contract and respond by dropping one key pass after another.

    He’s starting to sound like AB these days. Only difference is, AB could catch.

    Told you, cares too much what fans say. If he truly didn’t care like he says there he wouldn’t have had that response.

    Every athlete should strive to be like Jeter, he didn’t absorb any of this stuff, didn’t read or listen to analysts opinion of him, he shut it all out.

    Johnson would benefit greatly from that approach, he’s much to thin skinned to handle it.

    What's wrong with what he's saying? Telling the media to go kicks rocks I'm always fine with. I can't stand them. They'll make drama and ruin relationships. They literally got Mike Smith of the falcons fired, then they announced it before Smith was told, then they threw a bunch of crap on there that Mike Smith won't talk to the falcons Owner to this day.

    (I used to work the falcons as their obituaries for events and charity). But I also despise the falcons owner.

    I think Johnson was talking to the media, not fans.

    Probably both. He often spars with fans on social media. Lot of fans are aholes so I dont care about that but I do care about the mental part of it and its affecting his game.

    I am actually stunned Mash. I always read how Mr Blank is a first class human. What did he do to make you hate him?

    Johnson was talking about fans. He implied that any fan who dares to criticize him isn't a real fan, and said that those who do criticize should just shut up because they aren't NFL players.

    The media didn't create this problem. Johnson did by running his mouth.

    The media didn't create Mike Smith's issue either, and they did their jobs by announcing the news as soon as they got it. That Smith found out through the media is the fault of the owner, not the people who reported on it.

    Dionte Johnson should concentrate a lot more on catching the football instead of what the fans are saying.

    Most social media should be banned anyways. Scary what people (including kids) don't know about tik tok and other garbage out there.

    This is just myself seeing Chase the few minutes on Sunday but I think the fanbase is eating him up on Social media also. He still had a tough day but I thought he was not shying away from contact yesterday and working hard for yardage.

    Im from CT but it seems the local fanbase has this Yinzer reputation like Pittsburgh Dad. lol

    At the same time Bama fans want their OC already gone. lol

    Im spoiled but realistic with the offense being a Work in Process much like Big Ben except as pointed out by a poster on Steeler Depot...Big Ben had an elite defense.

    I hate social media as well because of so many negative people. However I'm like Johnson with blasting them.

    But if that's actually affecting his game, then it's an issue..... i think Johnson just needs to work on his feet.

    It’s not just young people. 40-50 year old men are some of the worst I’ve encountered in the workplace when it comes to handling criticism.

    Few people argued that point. Most of us remind you that Metcalf was not available when the Steelers picked. Johnson was.

    We are the problem!

    Not coaches or players.

    We’ve gone soft!

    Our social media accounts are driving them insane!

    I recall DJ said the exact same thing last time things didn't go well. Not a good way to endear yourself to the fans.
    Tell Alabama we will trade their OC (bill o'brien) straightup for our OC
