Brad Johnson

g traded to Tampa, but never took a snap as a Buccaneer and retired before the start of the season. Brad Johnson and Shaun King are faces of the past, and the future doesn't look very bright either. There should be plenty of free agent qb's this year and many may fit well in Tampa.

was supposed to be an offense-orientated leader.  However, now with three years of hindsight, Brad Johnson throwing to Koren Robinson and handing off to Chester Taylor (the last year of the Tice regime) was just as productive as Tarvaris Jackson throwing to Bernard Berrian and giving to Adrian Peterson.  Essentially, what I'm trying to say is that Childress has come nowhere near delivering the "kick-ass" offense he promised a few seasons ago.  Sure, the defense has been incredible, but Chilly lucked out in that regard (and was likely helped by the presence of Mike Tomlin, now Head Coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers), as the Wilfs had just doled out the money to Pat Williams, Antoine Winfield, and Darren Sharper, while Kevin Williams was becoming a major inside force.

The third area is an early quarterback move from youngster to veteran.  In '98, a young Brad Johnson (yes, at one point, that was possible) injured his leg and was replaced by Randall Cunningham, who was incredible with all the weapons surrounding him...

be a die-hard fan to know that the biggest reason for the Cowboys’ recent struggles has been Brad Johnson. As bad as the offensive line and defensive secondary have played at times, the fact that the former Super Bowl quarterback hasn’t looked like he could throw a stone in the ocean this season has to be Wade Phillips’ worst oversight since coming to Dallas two years ago.

The new crystal ball is on a roll.  Last weeks debut at 3-1, was followed with perfection…4-0 this week!  That brings our prognosticating record to .500 for the season.  We had a slow start to the season, but now we are on a mission.  I am not one to gloat (yes I am!)…so let’s see what happened:

past few weeks, everyone has been toting the company line, saying the right things, rallying behind Brad Johnson.  Yeah, yeah, yeah…we all know that the Cowboys were just hoping to stumble into the bye week with their heads above water.  You know what?  They did, as they limp in at 5-4, with a chance to right the ship.

Giants win.  It's not like we didn't see this coming.  It's not like we expected Brad Johnson to be this 40-year-old superman overnight.  Anyone with half a brain (I mean you Shesawn) could see that Dallas limped into Giant stadium, just about half the team they were when they started the season.  Yet the Giants celebrated like they won the Super Bowl in November.  That just speaks volumes.

Cowboys needed this win badly as all the other NFC East teams got the W in Week 8. Brad Johnson looked anything, but sharp...BUT...Dallas musters out a win and will face rivals Eli Manning and the New York Giants next week. Should be a...interesting one.

         In the end, the Cowboys won despite the play of a Brad Johnson led offense.  It wasn’t very pretty offensively…downright ugly even!  The Cowboys managed a measly 172 yards of offense…are you kidding me?  With all that talent on offense…all those Pro-Bowlers…pathetic!  But Wade and company did what they needed to do…win the ball game, period!  It doesn’t matter how you win.  It doesn’t matter if it wasn’t pretty.  It doesn’t matter if it was ugly…because…there are no style points in the NFL!

has tumbled the past couple weeks with its injuries and an embarrassing loss to the Rams last week. Brad Johnson didn't look good against St.Louis as he made his first start in quite some time. He'll get the start again as Romo is not expected to return until mid-November. Dallas will face a good Tampa Bay team. Some could say Tampa could be favored in this game after everything Dallas has been through the last couple of weeks. Tampa does have the better record. Their coming off a drumming of the Seahawks on Sunday Night Football last week. I looked into my crystal ball and I saw the score and I saw the future. "Pleasant" is not a word that describes Cowboy fans' mood next week. My crystal ball is back. My crystal ball picks Tampa Bay!

somewhere, talking about his feelings in rehab.  No, no Tony Romo, who saw how much protection Brad Johnson got against the Rams and said, “Screw that, I’m out till November”.  No, not Roy #38 Williams who had the nerve to re-break his forearm.  Not the team defense who said “Ole” with a giant red cape to Steven Jackson and Rams.  No Nation I called out:

n if he is unable to play, or he is forced to sit after a drive or two, we do have a safe backup in Brad Johnson.  

Johnson is a two time Pro Bowler, is ranked 26th in all-time career passer ratings, and won a Super Bowl with Tampa Bay in 2002.  And a really interesting stat about him?  He's the only quarterback to have ever caught his own pass for a touchdown.  He is a safe and reliable QB.  He has a quick release, great vision, and is good with plays (especially slants and shorter yardage plays).  Though he does not have the same ability as Romo to make huge plays down field, he does know when to dump off the ball to a running back and  take a sack while protecting the ball if need be.
