Yes, and lets not forget the close win he had against Tennessee in the 99 playoffs. if his special teams would have tackled someone they'd win the superbowl, easy.

He was just being honest about his opinion. More Americans can improve their life if they ate healthy. Instaed of putting garbage in their body.

Rob just couldn't get out of his own way. He had a lot of talent and showed signs of greatness but was stubborn about holding the ball instead of throwing it away. He's similar to Aaron Rodgers but never could put it all together the way he did. Took too many hits/sacks and was always injured.

The shame of it all is that Flutie could have rally helped Johnson become a great NFL QB. Johnson took tons of sacks - not in the pocket, but on prolonged rollouts. Flutie's strength was throwing outside the pocket. Had the two been interested in cooperating and not competing AGAINST each other, they could both be wearing Super Bowl rings as Bills.

Flutie was better, but to blame the Titans game on Johnson is unfair. It was the Special Teams' fault.

great talent, but held onto the ball to long...

@mylest100 ahh, when you said "they," I thought you were referring to the Bills, not the Fins...

[mylest100]

@csquaredremixz 1999 AFC standings: #1JAX 14-2/ #2IND 13-3/ #3 SEA 9-7/ #4TEN 13-3/ #5 BUF 11-5/ #6 MIA 9-7 (chiefs were also 9-7 but missed playoffs)

I don't have my seasons mixed up. Miami beat Seattle 20-17 wild card weekend january 9th 2000. Titan bills game was january 8th 2000.

@mylest100 You have your seasons mixed up BIG time. The Bills were 11-5 in 1999 and played the 12-4 Titans. In 2000, they went 8-8 and didn't make the playoffs... that Seattle game was week 17...

[mylest100]

@csquaredremixz Bills were #5. Dolphins were #6 and were like 8-8 and since they beat the #3 seahawks they would play the #1 jaguars. (Colts #2 and Titans #4)

@Jefgg Not relatives so much as rational people... we all know what Johnson's shortcomings were, but there's no reason to add in made-up things. Johnson is proof that sacks should be included in the QB rating formula for sure!

[Jefgg]

@csquaredremixz Good points. I have nothing personal against Rob Johnson. I just didn't think he was a very good quarterback mostly because of his serious lack of durability and propensity to take sacks. I didn't realize he had so many relatives who are regulars on youtube.
