What if?... Naw, right?

[Stymietee]

For most of us we've seen it before, the most famous being Kurt Warner with the St. Louis Rams years ago. A team signs a player off of the streets and he comes in a gets such a firm grip on the job that it's nearly impossible or necessary to move him. Josh Johnson was a man playing pick-up basketball games just over a week ago when Washington came calling. He entered the game, albeit, one that was already decided and gave a moribund offense something that it hadn't offered in the greater part of the season...A spark!

At this point nobody believes that it's possible for Johnson to become a Kurt Warner type story, but, what if he does? What happens if this mathematically alive franchise is suddenly able to move the ball, maybe even score with a bit more rapidity and offers an exhausted defensive squad reason to rest more in games then play better than it has lately because there is reason to believe? Confidence is a strange thing in sports, it comes and goes for any number of reasons.

Last week we all saw something when Johnson entered the game, most poo-poo'd what he did as resulting from a lost cause of a game and there's nothing in his history that would lead anyone to believe that he is anything more than what he's always been...EXCEPT... himself and the realization that for him, this is that one last opportunity to win and keep a NFL job just like Warner. I know, this is totally different, beyond winning a job. We'd all be surprised if Johnson positively answered the question, What if?... but we're thinking, Naw, right?

well he wasn't completely signed off the streets he was playing football in the Alliance of American Football

Is that like Madden?

Must be the guys I have on ignore that pooh pooh'd. I know dad and I have been saying in one half he outperformed Smith in 3 or 4 of Smith's full games.

They are likely to need someone that can keep some plays alive against Jacksonville's pass rush and DBs.

I'm not sure what you mean. Comments like outperforming Smith exactly supports my point. Concerning the Poo-pooing, I wrote some, not necessarily limiting these remarks to this site. Maybe you have all other sources on ignore?

I said dad and I didn't pooh pooh JJ. We gave him credit for the way he played.

I know, that supports my greater point!

Now if you and @dad were the ONLY people left on earth making commentary, then what you wrote makes sense. Since you're not, the "poo-poo" comments weren't applicable to either of you, right?

Let's just hope for 2 halfs this weekend, JJ can be a super star at QB for this team. I may be happier for him than the team this weekend if that actually happens.
