Vikings4ever 496 Posted March 19, 2021 For being so adamant that he wasn't coming back to the Steelers, he sure did sign quickly. Guess he overestimated his worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There has to be more to Juju than what's out there. Neither Davis or Fuller have been as productive as Juju and both got better deals. Something doesn't seem right.

Donkey 34 Posted March 19, 2021 Don't get this at all for either side. Juju should've left for better opportunity. Pitt has James Washington who seemed like a good #3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocNiner 44 Posted March 20, 2021 He maybe wasn't get the offers he thought he should so he's banking on himself having a great to increase his value next year and get a better deal. He'll be motivated this year and could be a good pickup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think motivation was a problem, but yeah, a top-20 WR has a chance of being a good pickup. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 399 Posted March 21, 2021 I don't know, something just seems off about this guy when it comes to his production on the field. 2018, looked like a breakout season and that he would be among the top 10 WRs for a while, clearly he has the potential. Then the next season, with Big Ben out, he was terrible. Not even worth having on your bench. He kind of got a pass with the poor QB play. Then he bounces back a little bit with Big Ben last season, but not so much only avg 8.6 ypc. There's plenty of RBs with a higher average. While he's still got the potential I suppose, he's kind of in no man's land with his role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,450 Posted March 21, 2021 His avg non ppr still makes him worthy of a low wr2. I would agree , I would feel more comfortable with him as a wr3. But still surprising that he and the Steelers reunited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocNiner 44 Posted March 23, 2021 He's still pretty young and has the talent to put up.good numbers. Yet with Johnson, Claypool and Washington I'm leary of taking him as a WR 2. Yeah I'd like him better as a WR3 with upside.His number could also be contingent on Big Ben health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought he was on his way out of there. I was sure hed get more money and a larger role elsewhere. That being said, I am surprised the Steelers paid him as much as they did. I figured they would top out at 6 or 7 mil for his services. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess the Steelers are kind of banking on him breaking out again, then sign him long term next season, or part ways if he struggles. The Steelers aren't typically a team that pays big prices for free agent WRs though. He's hanging on by a thread, he put up Cole Beasley numbers, 100 catches for 800 yards. He needs to get down the field a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smileseers 54 Posted April 26, 2021 Ju Ju played through ankle and knee injuries last season. New offensive coordinator Matt Canada is likely to use Ju Ju all over the field and not exclusively in the slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Steelers did have 2 RB's that they threw the ball to... a lot (95 targets between them), and two other decent WR's. They were 26th in the NFL in pass attempts. It's not like they were throwing the ball all over the field and he was the only one not getting any play. I think his performance was more of a use issue than a performance issue.
