People even hated on Peko when he was consistently among the league leaders in tackles among interior linemen and Mike "God" Zimmer was saying he was among the best NTs he ever coached. People claimed that Peko starting for us was proof that "Mike Brown did not care about winning" then when he becomes a free agent the Broncos not only sign him they pay him more than the Bengals were.
That being said MJ is not the player he once was. I am hoping that one of the young guys can develop into a top level players and replace him, or that two different players take his snaps from inside and outside. Unlike many people here I have not seen it yet. but I also know MJ is getting older instead of better, so it is possible his play may be declining from year to year.
Yep, everyone gets old, and sooner or later in the NFL someone is going to take your job. If the new kids can outplay Johnson, so be it, it's time for him to go, but there is no reason for all the "He sucks" types talk. He's been a very good player for us, and still is. I suspect he has a year or two left in him in the rotation....
