    I agree, Fichtner is tell him: "JuJu, Run 10 yards out and stand in the middle of as many defensive players as you can find gathered together. We will throw you the ball"

    Still just a solid #2, when he is playing. Johnson and Washington are on the upswing which is positive.

    I like Juju. He's young he still only 23. It shows.

    Needs to focus on his game more, if he wants to be a Superstar.

    This year is a bit of throw away year for him. He was playing with a lot less than adequate QB play. Then the injury factored in.

    Been a tough time for him, 3 critical errors over the last 2 years, Saints fumble, Ravens fumble, and missed a catch he probably should of caught yesterday to extended the game.

    He couldn't handle being the clear #1 guy, it was too much to ask for this year.

    I think he still has a way to go. He needs to work a bit harder on his craft. He has all the tools to be great.

    I've said this before. Juju can't get separation. That is why he isn't getting targets. When AB was here he could get separation vs the #2 CB but no AB and he is invisible. Guys like Johnson, Washington and even Johnny Freaking Holton has gotten more separation all season than JuJu.

    I don't know if it would have been a touchdown, but yes, he should have caught it. That was a hell of job by Hodges to give Smith-Schuster a chance with all that pressure on him. That is an inexcusable failure from a guy who was supposed to be a star receiver.

    The changes at quarterback don't excuse fumbling the game away against Baltimore and they don't excuse two drops Sunday, including the fourth-down play that clinched it for the Jets. It isn't just the lack of production that is troubling. It's the way he failed to come through so often when the quarterbacks did give him the opportunity to make a play.

    Tyler Boyd has 85 receptions for 987 yards this season with mediocre Andy Dalton and craptacular Ryan Finley throwing to him. Courtland Sutton is already over 1,000 yards despite the problems the Broncos had at quarterback the first 10 games or so. If you want to go historical, John Stallworth had two of the most productive seasons of his career in 1984 and '85 with David Woodley, Mark Malone and Scott Campbell throwing to him. A great receiver will find a way to make plays even with a lousy quarterback. His production will drop, but it won't disappear the way Smith-Schuster's has this season.

    Dalton may as well be a HOF QB compared to Rudolph and Hodges. I don't have time to look it up but I'm fairly certain Boyd wasn't putting up good numbers with Finley.

    All those QB's are better than what Juju has been playing with and no one is ever going to mistake JuJu for Stallworth.

    JuJu has about 600 yards this year, playing with bad QB's and through injuries. I believe his toe injury from week 2 has been dogging him all year, no reports on that, just my hunch.

    You don't amass 1400 yards by sucking, I don't care who plays across from you. Also, people don't realize that JuJu was double teamed last year too. Not as often as AB of course but he was. You don't think OC's were saying don't worry about that guy over there killing teams while we focus on AB, do you.

    I'm not worried about him, he had some bad drops and the fumbles were there last year, something he needs to clean up in his game.

    JuJu must be incredibly frustrated. A typical play that our idiot OC calls has him running a 15-20 yard route only to have the QB dump it 3 yards

    Like Knox stated, consistent Quarterback play is essential. Without it, your entire Offense could sputter if the adjustments are not made. That said, part of the issue has been the overall lack of execution with the missing personnel.


    The other aspect has largely been the playcalling and lack of Offensive adjustments. That part is not so much a players issue. That is a coaching issue.



    Either way, JuJu has not looked 100% all season. Has had multiple injuries. For a better reference, look at how Amari Cooper has been playing since he got injured a couple weeks back. Has not been the same.



    I will say this though; much like the Defensive Revolution of the Steelers had with the acquisition of a true Single High Deep Centerfielding Free Safety, Pittsburgh REALLY needs to get with the program regarding the Tight End position. How many more swings and misses will it take at this point?!?! For that matter;



    CAN RANDY FICTHNER GET OUT OF HIS OWN WAY FOR THAT TO EVEN HAPPEN?!?!

    Huh? So his fumbles that cost us last year and this year were because he wasn't getting targets? Sorry. Thanks for playing.

    It's simple. He lost his confidence. He had an amazing season opposite AB and got a little too full of himself. He got caught up in his own hype and thought it was always going to be a video game. Now that he has been brought back to reality, he isn't prepared. His brand is suffering. His fans are dwindling. He's not the beloved kid with a stolen bike anymore.

    He's a good receiver. He's just not good enough to fill AB's shoes. He's not good enough to fill a #1's shoes. Sometimes reality sets in and it kicks you in the balls.

    I dont think you should be skating and jumping around and then claim you have a bad knee. Just does not look good on the org and to the fans. He needs to focus on his game and grow up and act like a professional. Less social media ( instagram) would do him some good.

    People drawing conclusions about JuJu based off this season need to get a grip. Can't believe some of these comments about him.

    Actually I can believe it.

    Man you guys want perfection NOW. Not clutch? It's what his 3rd year, first bad one? He should retire now because he ain't playin across from AB anymore anywhere, it's over. :facepalm:

    AB was clutch but it took awhile with his best buddy Ben.

    They all were just average guys except for Sanders and AB tbh. I forgot about palxico he had better numbers without Ben as well and won a SB. Rest weren't that good.
