Analysis: Gauging whether Jaylon Johnson should stay with the Bears goes beyond the statistical breakdown.
While everyone is rushing to back Jaylon Johnson in his contract standoff with the Bears, it's not necessarily a one-sided argument.
The one thing often mentioned by the Bears in the past, and acknowledged by Johnson, was a need to see more plays on the ball and more interceptions.However, they both came against backup quarterbacks in a blowout victory. Getting a pick in conditions like this hardly compares to his first interception, off Joe Burrow in a 20-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in 2021.
Still, his play has been high quality without the injuries. When he is challenged this season, he has allowed only 11 receptions in 26 targets. Terell Smith remains on injured reserve with mono. Before his illness the Bears were extremely high on his progress. There was a good reason to be. According to the same PFF stats, Smith had been targeted 17 times in four games and had allowed only nine catches for 115 yards. It is a very small sample size, though.
The other big effect to gauge is one no metrics from Pro Football Focus or Sportradar or anyone else can will not help with and that's the locker room feeling.
