Tyler Rose Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 When Johnson was the QB for Denny Green in Minny was Billick the OC? Why wouldn't Baltimore look to bring him on board just in case Boller doesn't have what it takes.....just wondering out loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herdmaster Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Because Brad Johnson is 94 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Rose Posted March 3, 2005 Author Share Posted March 3, 2005 Yes, Brad is a bit long in the tooth but I'll take him at 94 as opposed to........Kordell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNasty Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I think he's got nothing but a rag attached to his shoulder at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'canes2004 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I think he's got nothing but a rag attached to his shoulder at this point. 718818[/snapback] That's your answer right there. He has zero arm strength and last year when he did play he had absolutley no zip on the ball and floated most of his passes. He still has the smarts but lacks the skills.

Tyler Rose Posted March 3, 2005 Author Share Posted March 3, 2005 Ok, so the majority opinion seems to be his arm is shot. I didn't get much of a chance to see TB games here in Detroit before he got benched. I just thought he was in a pretty bad situation with no Pittman,McCardell and Clayton did not come on until the later weeks(maybe Johnson had something to do with that as well). Oh wait he did have Tim Brown......OK that was just my Raider hatin' coming through. Thanks for the insight guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Yes, Brad is a bit long in the tooth but I'll take him at 94 as opposed to........Kordell? 718802[/snapback] Kordell is a free agent. Anthony Wright is the backup. Wright led the Ravens the playoffs two seasons ago, so the Ravens are happy (for now) with him as a backup. Stewart was only signed when Wright was put on the PUP list in camp. Having said that, I'd like to see an other QB on the team. Some younger guy with a little experience and only a few years on him. Maybe we draft a QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Rose Posted March 3, 2005 Author Share Posted March 3, 2005 So Kordell is a free agent,eh? Is he that far gone that his name never even comes up when AZ,Det,Cle or Den talks about the need for a QB? I thought he was never a good fit in Chicago for alot of reasons but I think he would still be a viable back up somewhere. I'd actually rather have him here in Detroit than Garcia. Did he get any reps last year in Baltimore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Miscreant Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Forget comparing Johnson to the Raven's backups. I'd take him over Boller. Johnson was benched last year after starting 0-4 but he was not 0-4 all by himself. The TB o-line was awful and he had so skill people to work with. Match that all up with the fact that Gruden has been trying to replace the guy since he got there, including prior to winning the SuperBowl. And, oh yeah, Boller is pathetic.
