Yardbarker: Brad Johnson

The Campbell era: past, present, future

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:37:14 -0500

Since Daniel Snyder took over ownership of the Washington Redskins in 1999, Rick Maese writes today, the Redskins have cycled through 10 starting quarterbacks: Brad Johnson, Jeff George, Tony Banks, Patrick Ramsey, Danny Wuerffel, Shane Matthews, Tim Hasselbeck, Mark Brunell, Todd Collins and Jason Campbell. And, while the offseason promises plenty of questions about the front office, the coaches and many players, the biggest question once again may be one the organization has never successfu...

On This Day- Nov. 3rd, 2002- Bucs demolish Vikings, again

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:11:10 -0500

For three years as we have seen lately, all right around the same time of the season, the Minnesota Vikings were good for what ails you! ln 2000 and 2001 under Dungy, we thought "OK, its Tony's old team"... But Jon Gruden got in the act too, and speaking of acts, the Bucs got over their "We have a defense but no offense" reputation in this game. Brad Johnson started his path to the SuperBowl, going 24/31 313 yards and 5 touchdowns in this game. One curious bit of i...

On November 2, 2008, the Cowboys traveled to the Meadowlands to face the World Champion New York Giants. Playing with backup quarterback Brad Johnson (followed by Brooks Bollinger), the Cowboys suffered a 35-14 rout that ended a disastrous four-game stretch during which the Cowboys could only manage a 1-3 record. ...

Rams end 17-game winless streak

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 17:21:36 -0500

The Detroit Lions have now put an end to two unbelievable losing streaks this season -- their own, and St. Louis'. It was 19 straight losses for the Lions before they beat the Redskins in Week 3, and they haven't won since. The Rams last won a game on October 19, 2008, beating the Brad Johnson(notes)-led Cowboys, 34-14. Since then, they've barely ever been competitive, especially in the 2009 season. They lost by two to Washington and hung with the Jaguars until overtime, but they&...

Steelers-Vikings: The end of smashmouth?

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:45:23 -0500

The last time the Steelers and Vikings met, it was December 18, 2005, and the Steelers won, 18-3. Current Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was Tampa Bay's secondary coach, current Vikings head coach Brad Childress was Philly's offensive coordinator, and Brett Favre(notes) hadn't even started waffling yet. It was a very different time, as evidenced by the rush/pass totals for both teams. The Steelers were still into smashmouth back then, using power running to protect quarterback Be...

Fantasy FB Owners: Tony Romo Will NOT PLAY!

Sat, 18 Oct 2008 23:04:34 -0500

Attention Fantasy Football fans and owners of Tony Romo (including myself): Tony Romo will NOT be starting for the Cowboys tomorrow. Romo will indeed be active - but Brad Johnson will be the starter and Tony Romo will be on the bench (only playing if absolutely necessary). Good fantasy football grabs should you need it after the jump!

Butâ€¦He's So Solid!

Sat, 03 Mar 2007 00:11:22 -0500

Whenever I thought of Brad Johnson this season, I would think a few things. Old. Boring. Uninspiring. Average. After recent events, I can now think of other words to describe Brad Johnson. Unemployed. Cut. Done. Washed up. The Vikings cut Johnson on Wednesday, ending his second tenure with the team.
