QB Johnson should be cut!

[Bob Sacamano]

I don't think we should cut Johnson, but glad w/ the reports about Baker

 

[NextGenBoys]

Zoners, I want you all to get serious a second.:starspin

If ROMO gets injured we are history for 07. Johnson cannot get the ball deep and the above report cut from another Zoners post just VERIFIES what I said when we signed this player.

Why cut one of the YOUNG GUNS just to keep this OLD over-the-hill guy?:starspin

GIVE ME SOME VALID REASONS WHY I AM WRONG!

The reason is defense wins championships. If Romo is out for the season, then yeah we are done for. Thats a given. But if he is out for anything less than 5-6 weeks, we can hold our own I believe. We will just play some conservative offense (we have to be pretty accustomed to that by now) and let our defense win the games for us. A strong running game and great defense is the key anyhow. Those two aspects of the game are just going to have to step it up a notch. That fossil Johnson will be able to drive the bus enough to get to a gas station, then we can fill 'er up and hand the team back over to Romo.

I thought we banned philo?

 

[CrazyCowboy]

So you're saying that if Romo were to get injured you would rather go with More or Baker over Johnson and we'd be just fine?

By all means, justify this for me.

Hos,

Johnson is old.

He cannot move any better then Bledsoe.

If ROMO gets hurt.....we DO NOT make the playoffs with Johnson, (as the defenses will blitz and play tight coverage on our WR's and dare us to throw deep.....which he cannot do anymore.

Why not give the young QB's more practice reps and develop someone who COULD become a weapon?

Johnson finished 2006 with just nine passing touchdowns and 15 interceptions, completing 270-of-439 passes for 2,750 yards and added 82 rush yards and a rushing touchdown.

Is Johnson better than Moore and Baker? Just tell me that. Because your whole premise is built upon Romo going down. If he goes down we want the best option to take over. I say that is Johnson and not Baker or Moore.

Tell me I am wrong. Then be prepared to back it up.

So you think because baker, and Moore have shown some good skills in underwear, that they are ready to put on the pads, and play in a REAL game?

Give me a break. You think putting a rookie is gonna stop the blitzes? You think a rookie is gonna be ready for the pressure of a NFL game? Johnson has been in this league long enough to come in and play a few games ( winning record when Culepepper whet down two years ago)

Basing this whole thought, on his performance when asked to start and play an entire season, is quite pointless, because he's here to play in case of injury (as he did successfully in 2005)

You need to stick to the one liners man.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

if Romo goes down, we're ****** either way

 

[Cochese]

Johnson is a capable player. If Romo goes down, Johnson could drive the bus if the defense finally plays like its capable of playing.

but for how long? that's the question

Because you haven't seen enough of the other QB's on our roster to suggest that even with Brad Johnson's short-comings, that he isn't the second best QB on our roster. Dumb thread and idea to entertain cutting a veteran cb with playoff/SB experience...

We have someone in the lead with the best reason yet........short term hold down the fort until ROMO returns.......did not consider this.

Great point

because if the starter gets hurt the team is most likely history. just think if tom brady or peyton manning gets hurt its over there has only been a couple of situation when there not.

1. the cowboy back-up when roger got hurt in the thanksgiving game vs. the reds

2. jeff garcia last year.

well those are the only ones I can think of.

Experience only, I feel you are correct with Johnson.

Hos, I am concerned with his age, speed, and declining arm strength and this is the time of year to discuss it and take appropriate action......maybe Mr. Jones will read this post or someone will tell him ;-)

I maybe wrong, but I just feel the DALLAS COWBOYS can find a better option for a potential Super Bowl talented squad then Mr. Brad Johnson to backup Moxie ROMO!

Then quit messing around and name him already.

JEFF GARCIA? I would do a back flip if we had signed him! :starspin

Yes, I believe one of them is a better option then old/slow Johnson. :starspin

Did you believe ROMO could not beat out Bledsoe last year? I thought ROMO was do a better job and he did......I was calling for Bledsoe to be benched for ROMO, but I kept supporting Bledsoe because he was our starter.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

And you are concerned about weak arm strength?

Are you saying that Garcia has a weak arm? Did you concider how well he moves in the pocket? Accuracy? etc......

Do a poll on the Zone and I bet 80 percent of the Zoners would pick JEFF GARCIA as our backup over JOHNSON! :bang2:

I am no fan of Brad Johnson. However, he is our best insurance policy at this point should something happen to Romo. There is too much at stake to tank a season if Romo goes down and throw Moore or Baker to the wolves.

And if Peyton manning goes down, the Colts are history. If Tom Brady goes down, the Pats are history. If Carson Palmer goes down, the Bengals are history. If Grossman goes down....wait....
