Marcus Johnson Appreciation Thread

[MarquisJ 500]

This guy is unbelievable. Being able to come off the street and play the way he did was nice to see. Not too sure if he’s not the best WR on the team. Certainly was today!

[Shive 2,543]

He's had some impressive catches in the limited snaps he's played and he took full advantage of them today. He's done a great job giving us a deep option.

[Rolltide_gocolts 18]

Yea he’s a baller fasho!! 

[Hark 307]

This kid has done a great job of keeping his head together with all the bouncing around he has endured

[Smoke317 1,272]

Much Appreciated. 

[coltfaninnewyork 571]

Deserves to be on roster 

[Mr.Debonair 2,519]

He’s a keeper! 

[Chloe6124 8,183]

Hopefully he keeps this up and helps open up TY also.  

[TrueBlue12 68]

Definitely have to keep him on the active roster. He's our best deep threat if TY doesn't come around.

[w87r 2,386]

Appreciated him prior to this game, but a little more after it.

[Coltsman1788 3,734]

He was deep threat the Colts needed today. Colts don’t win today without the plays he made.

That is why I said Fountain could be the odd man out with the arrival of Harris

He had a great game

[Chloe6124 8,183]

He is really fast and tracks the ball so well. That was funny when rivers over threw him with everyone thinking rivers arm stinks. If he can keep this up it should open up TY a little. Also it should help the run game. When your hitting deep like that if opens everything up.

[Hoose 1,218]

EastStreet, have you changed your mind about this guy? I know you had your doubts.  I love the kid. The Colts had better not try to move him back to the PS ( if they even can at this point) or he’ll be snapped up. He’s earned a permanent spot on the 53. 

[Chloe6124 8,183]

Pascal had a great touchdown today too. We need that from him and Johnson.

I think they officially signed him to the 53. No more going back to the PS.

They can move him back to the PS, but I don't think we can move him back without being exposed to being picked up by another team anymore. 

 

He isn't going anywhere, even when we are back to full health, if that even happens.(Campbell)

[Patrick Miller 213]

Wasn't he our leading receiver this game?

[HoosierHero 10]

I will never understand why the front office keeps cutting this guy. Just leave him on the roster.

I was ticked when they cut him loose last time. He's a player.

I actually thought he was going to win the #6 spot coming into the season.

 

Was surprised when he didn't, even more surprised when he wasn't signed to PS immediately.

 

Might of been him trying to catch on to another teams 53.?

He was officially signed to the 53 this week. No more going back to the PS.

He can go back to the practice squad, he would just have to clear waivers this time.

If course he can but they officially signed him to the 53 this week so that isn’t happening.

[John Waylon 3,650]

If he goes to the PS again this week he’ll be gone.

Maybe you should phrase your post to show it as an opinion and not a fact/rule.

 

I don't think he will be going back to practice squad either, but that doesn't mean he cant. Which was the question asked by Hoose.

[bestQBever 1,128]

Him and Rivers have some chemistry. Rivers really likes those big boy receivers.

[NorthernColt 107]

It's crazy, even going back to last year, when he got playing time, albeit limited time, he always made plays.

[Dogg63 1,174]

 

 

I had been wondering why he wasn't kept. Now we know.

[Hoose 1,218]

Time to acknowledge this kid has talent. And they need him. 

[Chloe6124 8,183]

Him and rivers seem to have great chemistry. Rivers has pretty good chemistry with pascal too. I don’t know what is going on with TY. Although TY had some big plays today that got called back by questionable penalties.

[Chloe6124 8,183]

Rivers will be able to utilize him much better then Jacoby did last year.

The point was it was different this week then the previous weeks when they just brought him up and would revert back. He was officially signed to the 53 which is different the the rules this year where they just go back to the ps.

[GoColts8818 10,513]

I’ve always liked him and was a little disappointed when he didn’t make the final roster.  I think like Pascal last year he’s found a home here now.

Kinda ironic that he’s back because of injuries lol.

Hoose asked the question, if he was able to go back to the PS.

 

He can, that's the facts.

 

 

You answered his question with an opinion(presented as facts) that he wasn't able to. Then doubled down on it by responding to me answering Hoose's question, again with an opinion.

 

I even answered his question with the fact he would be subject to being scooped up by another team if we did try and send him back there. You still quoted me like he couldn't go back. "No more going back to PS" <-- your words = opinion, not the rules.

 

Good back pedal. If you're going to answer a question someone ask on rules, don't answer them with your opinion.

 

Answer with facts.

 

Yes, Johnson can go back to the PS. He most likely will not, but by the rules he can.

 

That was the question. 

[Horseshoelife19 30]

I was very impressed with Marcus Johnson and DeMichael Harris!!! Harris could be our Tyreek Hill!!!!

Exactly, if it’s a can he?  Yes.  Should he?  Heck no.

Do you realize how depressing that is though?

[pgt_rob 2,465]

I was going to post this same thread about Johnson. He always had a knack for catching some deep balls and a few contested catches every now and then. I was glad to see him back. I hope he sticks around, very underrated player.
