Josh Allen is Rob Johnson's doppelgänger

Johnson was the most physically gifted QB the Bills had had until Josh Allen.

 

Great thrower of the ball and WR level athlete.

 

He was not capable of being a leader and didn't have the desire to be great.........two things that really make a gigantic difference with Josh Allen.

 

Rojo could sleepwalk thru regular season games and do stupid sh*t for quarters on end.........but could really dial it up as a competitor when just the right buttons were pushed........which is why he had so many fantastic finishes.........and that Flutie vs Johnson matchup in San Diego was one of the best battles of the entire drought.........you will never see two guys who don't want to lose to the other anymore than that game.:lol:  

 

Would have been interesting to see how Rojo would have fared in a post 2010 NFL.........an era when it's basically illegal to hit QB's.    I wouldn't be astonished to see him be a version of Pad Statford in his Lions days.   It is just far easier to play the position now and athleticism like Rojo had pays higher dividends.   There are guys getting paid handsomely like Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray who would have struggled to have a single good game in their career if they played in the late 90's, IMO.

Rob Johnson is a jerk.  That's what I said when I was around 10 yrs old and he brushed by 3-4 of us kids standing there waiting for him after practice without even looking at us, got on a golf cart, and sped away.  John Fina was standing there signing autographs and yelled at us.  We were Flutie fans anyhow and gave up our season tickets after they put Johnson in and we all know how that turned out.  Rob Johnson is a jerk and if John Fina sees this he needs to admit it once and for all!
