BigDawgBengal Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 i will be fine with him playing in week 17... When they are resting players and waiting on the first playoff game... In week two of the playoffs.... There is going to be a good debate if Johnson should play in week 17. Do you rest the starters or keep Green and Dalton in to try to go 16-0.

spicoli Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Evan Silva @evansilva3m Always intrigued by new #Bengals No. 2 QB Josh Johnson. Dual threat. Throws with velocity & explosive runner. Can add spark off bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I like in a backup is an experienced vet or an unproven rookie not a guy that's been in the league four years with no success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyrid Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Not bad. He was a Jon Gruden draft pick in Tampa, so I'm sure Jay was able to get plenty of inside info on him. I like a backup with some mobility. If Andy was to get hurt mid game, the other team isn't prepared to face a mobile guy and you still have a chance to win the game.

Can't count how many times we have been destroyed by a mobile backup qb for lack of preparation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have someone who is good and has some ability than some washed up vet. And i'd rather have someone with experience over a rookie.

oldschooler Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 They only signed him so we would have a Johnson on the team. Seriously though. I prefer him over Gradkowski. Gradkowski has proven he sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you talking about the browns? They signed him as an emergency injury replacement like the last week of the season. You expect him to come in and start after about two practices? Come on man.

bengals7833 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Maybe your right but the fact he was signed as an emergency qb at the end of the season means he wasn't on an nfl roster so kind of hard to get excited about that. Especially when Jason campbelll is available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcat Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 With all the trouble the Browns have had with QBs it would be hilarious if this was the one guy with promise. He's smart enough to get the hell out of Cleveland... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the signing, would've preferred Fitz because he's shown he can win games in the NFL but I understand why Fitz went to the Titans, he has a better chance playing over Locker than Dalton. Johnson has the potential to be a good player in the NFL if he's in the right situation and this is a good situation for him because he knows the coaching staff and he has a quality wr's something he's never had since he's been in the NFL. Johnson can make some plays with his legs or his arms and you see how guys like Russell Wilson, RGIII, Kaepernick, etc..have changed the way the game is played at the qb position.

I like a backup with some mobility. If Andy was to get hurt mid game, the other team isn't prepared to face a mobile guy and you still have a chance to win the game. I'm sure Jay has some good info on him. I also think the Bengals had another source also. Turk Schonert. For those that don't remember Turk; Currently is HC for Sacramento Mountain Lions HC, which is where Josh Johnson was for a brief time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turk_Schonert Professional career Schonert was selected by the Chicago Bears in the ninth round of the 1980 NFL Draft but never played for the franchise. He played nine seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, including the Super Bowl XVI and Super Bowl XXIII teams, and spent one season with the Atlanta Falcons. Schonert retired in 1989, finishing his career with 11 touchdowns, 20 interceptions and a 7-5 record as a starting quarterback. Coaching career NFL Schonert began coaching quarterbacks in 1992 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers under Sam Wyche, his former head coach with the Bengals. His quarterback coach at Stanford, Jim Fassel, later became the head coach of the New York Giants and hired Schonert,[5] who also served with the Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints. Schonert, who returned to the Bills in 2006 and was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2008,[6] had worked with Trent Edwards, a graduate of his alma mater, since Buffalo drafted the Stanford quarterback in 2007. Schonert was fired as the offensive coordinator for the Bills on September 4, 2009, just before the start of the season and replaced with Alex Van Pelt. The move proved to be uninspired, with Bills head coach Dick Jauron himself being fired after nine games of the 2009 NFL season, due to a lack of offensive firepower. UFL Schonert was hired as quarterbacks coach for the UFL's Hartford Colonials by head coach Jerry Glanville in 2011, but was let go with the rest of the coaching staff when the franchise ceased operation prior to the 2011 season. He was then hired by Fassel as an offensive assistant for the UFL's Las Vegas Locomotives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueridge Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 He was essentially 4th string for the Browns last year We were tied to two guys with like 50+ career starts and then signed the browns fourth string qb He wasn't the Browns 4th string QB. If you can't get your facts straight, just shut up. What I like in a backup is an experienced vet or an unproven rookie not a guy that's been in the league four years with no success. You're just whining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gradkowski has proven he sucks. That's the bottom line for me. I think Johnson is an improvement over Grad, and I don't care how' many more starts Grad has. He just blows, point blank. Johnson can give you a spark off the bench... He's a 4.6 guy who has a nice arm. Let him slug it out with Zac and draft someone, too and see how it shakes out.
