I’ll never understand the Flutie/Johnson scenario. The Bills trade and overpay for a backup QB. They bring in Flutie as well who has more experience, and clearly shows he’s the better player. Yet they decide, allegedly it was Ralph Wilson, to play Johnson in the playoffs when it was Flutie who got them there in the first place. Just sheer stupidity.

[@ozamatazbuckshank7467]

And wade Phillips become the fall guy. It was never his decision to bench flutie

[@Jekyll08]

​@@ozamatazbuckshank7467 The following season too! They give it to Johnson and what happened? Flutie yet again had the better starting record. As the saying goes it's good to be the king. You can use people as scapegoats. Many of us Raiders fans got to experience that with Al Davis always looking to hire a puppet HC. One who would just be a yes man, and do everything his way and agree with his every decision.

[@therobro5089]

Johnson took a year to actually throw the ball and would often get sacked while fluite was mobile, yeah what a stupid decision

[@JWex-jy7sk]

To be honest heading into 1998, I would’ve just kept Todd Collins and brought in Doug Flutie for competition. Yeah they quickly deemed Collins a failure as “The heir to Jim Kelly” but he was much better in the role of a backup, and choosing to cut him and give Rob Johnson that kind of money was just absurd.

[@skimshady510]

The week before, Flutie was rested and Johnson given the start because the Week 17 result was a dead rubber that wouldn't affect their playoff chances. Johnson had a decent game and that was probably enough for Ralph Wilson to choose Johnson. Mainly because they'd given up a 1st and 4th rounder and signed a major contract to bring in Johnson to make him the face of the franchise. They staked their future to Rob Johnson, and they wanted the chance to prove it. By comparison - Flutie was smaller, weaker-armed, slower (by that point of his career), and he was being paid backup money. And at this point, Flutie was 37 years old, and his big career accomplishment was that he used to be a star in the CFL. But it's that classic example of an underachiever who never lives up to his talents versus the overachiever who finds ways to go beyond his limitations. In case you're interested, Johnson's stat line in the divisional game was 10-of-22 for 131 yards, 0 TDs, 0 interceptions, 6 sacks, 1 fumble lost. Somehow, the Bills almost won that game - denied by the Music City Miracle - but I don't think anyone would say Johnson put them in a position to win.

I do wonder what Joe Gilliam could have accomplished in a different system or a different time. Bradshaw definitely became better without a doubt, but Gilliam was just the wrong guy at the wrong time

[@orangehoof]

It should be noted that Craig Morton didn't go directly from the Cowboys to Denver. Morton was traded to the Giants and played several years there on a team with less talent than the Cowboys. Then the Giants gave up on Morton and traded him to Denver in 1977 where he rode a great defense to their first tastes of postseason glory.

It's important for people to understand that Phillip Rivers holding out was something that happened consistently with the San Diego Chargers in those days with their new signees. Management fought for every dollar against players, especially prior to the rookie pay scale changes, and fought over language as only the Spanos seem to relish doing. Rivers was no different, it just was unfortunate for him that Brees was a very capable player still growing and the situation kept him on the bench. Best thing that happened to Brees and the New Orleans Saints was him getting hurt as awful as it sounds in San Diego. I don't know if they necessarily made the wrong move, they invested a high pick in Rivers and he was a capable QB for them for many years.

@Harry Engel After watching that "Road to the Super Bowl" 1986 and in the segment in which he was profiled having him say his first love was baseball, it makes me think that being an NFL QB was just a job to him.

@Harry Engel I know it sounds like I'm giving Jay Schroeder the Raider static (I suppose I am:-), but he just wasn't the triggerman I'd count on. I'd rather ride in with the Hoss, Doug Williams, or Steve Beuerlein without flinching. I do agree with you that he wasn't awful, and he had two seasons that held up (though the respective teams were looking for his heir apparent the season afterwards).

[@gluserty]

@Harry Engel Jeff Hostetler, who replaced Schroeder the Raider in 1993 and the Raiders immediately won 10 games. I said "ride in with the Hoss" because Chris Berman & other sportscasters would always make some kind of "Hoss" reference when it came to him:-). Rarely did I see Schroeder play well and be let down by his supporting cast, but I can cite one instance: 1992, the second game of the season, at Cincinnatti. Schroeder went 25-40, 380 yards, 2 TDS, 1 INT; he was brilliant. However, Tim Brown was stripped of the ball going into the endzone and in overtime Sam Graddy inadvertently put his helmet right into teammate Dan Land on Land's kickoff return, leading to the Bengals kicking the winning field goal.

[@gluserty]

@Harry Engel Yeah, and other sportscasters went on to call him that, even broadcasters during games; Berman was still the one to hum out the "Bonanza" theme though:-). Hostetler was really good for the Raiders, but when he got injured, the team suffered greatly.

@Harry Engel I was thinking of a quarterback that I'd consider average (and sometimes slightly better) that I could live with: Neil O'Donnell.

I always thought that the Flutie/Johnson controversy was a good example of a coach getting caught up in a player passes the eye test and one that doesn’t look the part but is by far the better player. The way they disrespected Flutie bordered on criminal. He really proved that not only was he the better player but he was a class act as well!

[@hailbg91]

Washington always has a QB controversy... We got Schroeder v Williams, Kilmer v Jurgensen, and Cousins v RG3. You’d think for a historic and relatively successful franchise we would have QB stability but I see a QB battle brewing yet again with Fitzpatrick v Heinicke v Allen. Our best QB was Sammy Baugh and he played in the 30s and 40s

There was no controversy there. Wentz was the starter and the Eagles were 10-2 when he got hurt. And remember the Eagles barely got out of the Falcons playoff game with their lives. Poor playcalling cost the Falcons in that game. But Foles was a backup who did his job nicely.

[@carmeloildefonso8342]

If this were made today, Nick Foles vs Carson Wentz would be on this list, or at least an honorable mention. Wentz had an incredible pre-season, but once he was injured, Foles finished the season as a Super Bowl MVP and outperformed Tom Brady. Argument about who was actually better aside, I think we all had doubts about Wentz's durability, and Foles wouldn't fare so great after leaving the Eagles, but you simply can't deny that there was a real conversation to be had about the decisions that were being made behind the scenes.

[@emmahenrysoprano1253]

Wentz vs Hurts too. Hurts' rookie season was marred with so many questions about his job security and cost Dougie P his job. It was such an awkward time in Philly too. Hurts was good but we had no clue his ceiling was that high until he was firmly in the job for a year.

[@Zorbak962]

I would agree, but the Eagles made sure to kill any talks of a QB controversy, at least publically. They assured that Wentz was their guy after Foles won the super bowl

While i agree it could have changed things, i still think Bledsoe is the one who's getting traded if NE doenst win the Super Bowl.
