A safety and nose tackle away from greatness. Saw an old clip of him returning a int for a td - it was embarrassing how slow he was. Looked like a kid in a halloween costume.

At minimum, his Achilles tendon is intact.

Small boobs in some shots, gigantic in others - when was the inflection point?

Talley and Bennett. Still wonder how Cowart would have measured up had he gotten hurt.

Trojan - man!

The solution is to draft more than one qb a year until one that can actually play is found. No qb, no bueno.

You don't know my ex-wife.

That's what makes Lee Smith so formidable

That awkward 100 yard courtship trot by the gangly teenager was just priceless. What would #jesus think?

First #jesus takes away his hot girlfriend, and now his job.

My use of '10 cent head' in the initial post referred to his lack of a football iq, or as you put it 'internal clock'. not his basic level of human intelligence. I should have been more specific. I realize that the great ones or even pretty good ones have a natural feel for the game, but Rob lacked football instinct, intellect or whatever you want to call it. That was his fatal flaw as a qb.

No harm done.

No justification is necessary. Where did I 'hammer away' on 'the height thing'?

I've never followed the college game. All I know about USC is that a friend who taught there was required by adminstration to give Keyshawn a passing grade for a course he never attended. Johnson had a handful of pro games that were promising and a few that showed he was willing to grit it out (KC, TB). Though I had doubts, I also thought it may be possible that with time and experience he would overcome some of his obvious lapses.

Locker room cancer is a common term for a divisive player. Fluite was that by all accounts. I don't believe that I stated that Rob was better than Doug - Frankly, I was never interested in the debate. I was more interested in the player best equipped to get the team a ring. Ultimately, neither were. Doug provided a spark and was a gamer for sure, but hit his redline soon after becoming the starter, By late 1998, you knew what you were getting. The Bills strong defense covered up for his shortcomings. Johnson never developed, but I was enamored with his potential since he had the arm and the athleticism, and back then, more upside than Flutie. As was stated previously, he showed flashes, and I for one kept hoping he would turn the corner into an effective starter.

Flutie had his moments, but once the novety wore off, teams had no problem defensing him. You forget how stout the defense was in 99, one that might have gotten the Bills over the SB hump if not for Homerun throwback.

Looked leaner and more athletic than most qbs I'll give you that. Believe you me I have no nostaglia for the Johnson years, but Trent Edwards he was not. Monster arm, plenty of nad, evidenced by the beating he took - just very little football sense. What a wasteland of qbs over the past 15 years,

He couldn't have looked more like a prototypical stud qb when the trade went down. What a disappointment. I do remember him selling out against the Bucs one year, showing a complete disregard for his own well-being. First time he convinced me he had a pulse. Like Todd Collins, he had a long career. Doesn't mean it was successful the way it matters.

As the GR guys wasted airtime on some trivia game, I checked out a podcast on WHLD. Interesting survey of topics, Johnson seems like a good dude and seems to have more than the 10 cent head he displayed on the Bills. He talks about the new breed of read option Qbs and how he wasn't built to take the punishment that scamblers/options get (mentions how playing with Beuerlein and Flutie led him to leave the pocket more than his body could withstand). I can only wonder what the Bills fortunes would have been if he wouldl have stayed healthy, and the cancer midget wasn't on the team. http://www.swing1270.com/common/page.php?feed=22&pt=Rob+Johnson+Interview&id=582&is_corp=0

Dude looks like Rosemary Clooney in that pic - jeezus, have another donut.
