If Chris Simms Gets Released... He Will Sit Out 2007

[Mr Cowboy]

He sure lost a lot of games for someone who doesn't make mistakes that get you beat.

Just because MacMahon didn't report it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Johnson had plenty of completions on seams and gos during camp if you read everyone else's practice write ups.

I thought I did read them all? hmmm (but time differances might be the cause for this) I thought everyone was calling him the "king of swing" because he hadn't throw anything but swing passes and when he did try to throw outs it was picked but hey I might have over looked a completion do you know what day it was on so I can have a look at that report...no seriously Stan I REALLY did not see it and it would do my heart good to know he has done it.

Dooms here is stat lines for the games he played last year

http://www.nfl.com/players/bradjohnson/gamelogs?id=JOH322990&season=2006

he only had 5 games that he didn't throw an int in

against Buf he had 2 ints, against NE he had 3 ints and against chi he had 4 ints

he had only one game last year that he threw for more than 1 TD

he had 2 games with multiple fumbles

I understand that and saw him play last season I also know that Minn was having many other problems with injuries on offense and he did not play well but looking over the last 2 to 3 years Johnson has done a solid job for the most part. All I can say is I have confidence in him should he have to come in for a few games this season. I'm not looking for him to be the starter over 16 weeks but if he is forced into action for 2 to 3 weeks yes I think he can do the job.

He also took over for Culpepper and got minn on a 7 game win streak during the 05 season.

I hear ya Dooms but he didn't throw much the prior 2 years before last year

but if we do keep him lets hope we don't need him and if we do need him I sure hope he plays lights out

I never want the backup QB to come into game situation after all if he was better than Romo we would call him the starter. As I said I think he can handle the job if he is forced into action and I clearly think he would have the weapons with TO, Glenn and Witten to help him out.

 

[peplaw06]

let me ask you this if you cut off Brad's arms is he still a SB winning QB?

Yes

I picked a day at random and went back to read the practice reports. In practice #14, Grizz had Johnson hitting Curtis on a deep ball and MacMahon had him hitting a deep post to a WR but he would have been sacked by Ayodele if it would have been live tackle so there are at least two deep balls completed by Johnson in just one practice.

Look, I wouldn't want Johnson as the starting QB but he does know his role and is a proven winner. That's pretty darn good for a backup QB.

lets hope we don't have to find out and thanks a ton for the research

 

[Zaxor]

Yes

:laugh1:

Hey!!! I have an idea..Let's stick w/Johnson as our backup this season and groom Matt Moore ( or a future draft Choice) to be our #2.

 

[visionary]

get used to BJ for this year as the back-up. the cowboys want romo to feel comfortable in the starters role. once he performs this year and we give him a new contract, next year we will sign someone younger like simms to be the back-up (unless if Moore shows more than i think he will).

If it makes you feel better, Johnson completed deep outs to both Crayton and Urban in the afternoon practice today vs. the Broncos according to the DMN blog.

 

[Sarge]

Something tells me that if he sits out 2007, he'll likely be sitting out the rest of his career too.

Exactly - he sucks.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

But in virtually every practice he has been getting fourth-string reps

what is that? like 5 passes? lol

 

[Bob Sacamano]

If we weren't so interested in Simms when Parcells was here, what sort of connection would make us interested now?

Everyone needs to accept that Brad Johnson is our backup. That will not change this year. It probably won't change next year. It may not change in 2009 either. The best we can hope for in the future is a situation where we have Johnson as the immediate backup if Romo goes down for a single game but a developmental guy who gets the keys if it Romo is going to be out for a while. That developmental guy isn't Matt Moore right now -- in a year or two maybe he fills that role but for now, we don't have that 3rd guy who we can get ready to play.

usually developmental players are ones who need alot of work and fine-tuning

I think Moore qualifies
