Too bad Jungle Noise is gone because you can't go back to look for yourself. There were many posters on the site that busted on Johnson, particularly after the 2013 season and then his decision to leave. They simply looked at the sack numbers and ignored his strength against the run, total snaps played and overall leadership. (Sort of similar to Justin Smith isn't it.) These guys may not admit it now but they were there. In fact, I'm not going to do the work for you but you can probably browse through the archives at Cincy Jungle and find some of the comments for yourself.
As you can see from the post being quoted it seems to me that he is referring to the organization itself and not so much fans that actually hold zero relevance as to whether a player comes or goes. Could be wrong but that is the way it sounds to me.
