A year later Johnson was outta here, and Marty quickly disposed of George after a disastrous 37-0 drubbing to the Packers in week 2 in 2001.

I was so pissed about that. In Brad Johnson we finally had a capable QB. Instead we dissed him by bringing in Jay Shroeder part 2.

I'm with you. I was a big Brad Johnson fan, hell the guy threw for 4,000 yards and 24 TDs in 1999, won the division and made the playoffs, and we reward him by bringing in a guy to take his job.

Only the Redskins could have messed up that situation.

Seriously, it's amazing how bad we f'd up after the 1999 season. We had the #2 and #3 picks in the upcoming draft, we had just had I think the year before the Saints entire draft... and we were really good in 1999... I mean it's just sad how bad that went.
