    Rob Johnson. Probably as gifted as Josh is but not as charismatic and far less pocket presence and inability to take a hit but I know am in the minority but feel had we drafted him instead of Todd Collins in 1995 our history may have been different.

     

    🚨 Rob Johnson – Sack Avoidance Stats

     

     

    Career sack rate: 13.3%
    🔥 This is the highest sack rate in NFL history among quarterbacks with 500+ pass attempts.

    Career attempts: 982

    Career sacks taken: 140

    That means he was sacked once every 7 pass attempts, on average.

     

     

     

     

     

    📉 Key Low Points

     

     

    2000 (Buffalo Bills):
    Johnson started 11 games and was sacked 49 times — a sack rate of over 15%.
    He had a higher sack total than touchdown total (just 6 TDs that year).

    Johnson was also benched multiple times for Doug Flutie, who behind the same offensive line had a far lower sack rate — suggesting Johnson’s internal clock and decision-making were the real problem.

     

     

     

     

     

    🧠 Why Was He So Bad at Avoiding Sacks?

     

     

    Held the ball way too long – constantly waited for the perfect throw.

    Lacked awareness – often didn’t feel pressure well.

    Poor decision-making – didn’t throw it away or check down.

    Overconfidence in arm talent – thought he could make any play work.

     

     

     

     

     

    🏆 Verdict

     

     

    Rob Johnson is statistically and anecdotally one of the worst QBs at avoiding sacks in NFL history — arguably #1 overall.

     

    He was a walking sack machine and cost his teams dearly in field position, momentum, and drives. The contrast with Doug Flutie in Buffalo made it even more glaring.

  2. The Hamlin football story is nearly as compelling as the Hamlin story. Somehow became the starter with the whole world telling him and everyone he’s under-talented and on the roster as a PR move. Ends up making shoestring plays to win games down the stretch and win in the playoffs. Only guy staying home and in position seemingly several times a game.  Now the team loads up in the offseason to upgrade his position and take his job away again.

    I'm surprised at the lack of leaks this year compared to others.

     

    Also a 3 hour schedule reveal is bonkers. Almost (but quite) as bad as the "The Decision".


    Looks like they are putting a lid on a leaks to see if they can boost the reveal show ratings.
