CAPT_CHAOS47 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I though Gus was pretty good from what i can remember..Thats until he did the headbutt thing...Its like it knock his ability to be a decent QB out of him:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Brad Johnson Trent Green Mark Brunell Gus Frerotte Jason Campbell Rich Gannon Sage Rosenfels Not many were very good for us, but all of them (exception of JC for now) had long careers in the NFL. Only Johnson, Green, and Brunell were good enough in their careers to have teams built around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 1. Brad Johnson 2. Gus Frerotte 3. Scott Brunell 4. Trent Green (forgot about him) hmm gets tough after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Not sure Trent Green should really count since he didn't actually play, PLAY here. And it's pretty amazing that Mr. Frerotte is still in the league. That's gotta say something. I'd go: Johnson Frerotte Brunell (3rd because he was so damn frustrating to watch.)

IIRC, Trent Green started 15 games for us. He would have been resigned but the team was being sold and Casserly wasn't allowed to sign any new contracts. Trading for Brad Johnson was his way of rectifying that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Without a doubt Brad Johnson and he loved the Redskins as a kid. Only Redskin qb to ever play a playoff game at Fedex(JKC stadium then). We were a Dan Turk snap away from the NFC championship and likely SB berth.

SkinsFTW Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Trent Green, then Brad Johnson but Brad Johnson was already around 30 when he got here so I put him lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was like 12 at the time. Before many long nights. I just remembered he was here for a short time. Redskins knowledge failure on my part. I'm embarrassed. EDIT: Lol. Now that I'm thinking about it, I do remember it. It was a big deal a the time. Redskins underbid him or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impending sale of the franchise had prevented Charley Casserly from re-signing quarterback Trent Green in January 1999, but the Redskins' general manager not only saved that situation by trading for Brad Johnson, he snookered the Saints on draft day. http://www.washingtontimes.com/weblogs/redskins/2009/apr/20/fleecing-mike-ditka/ Green had a great year on a terrible team that season. 23TDs and 11ints with 3,441 yards all while being sacked 49 times. Mike Martz was the QB coach for us and he was the reason the Rams went after him so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't that he wasn't able to sign contracts, Charlie C just didn't think he was worth the 4 million a year he was looking for . Charlie C also traded a 1st, 2nd and 3rd for an injury prone 27 year old QB with confidience issues ... Still Jonson was in 1999 one of the best we had . It was Martys choice not to resign him in 2001 insted wanting to go with George and eventually Tony Banks ... My list .

He was made an offer of 4 years, $12M I think. I'm just not sure when the offer was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Brunell? Jeebus! Are you kidding me? Trent Green at least had a very nice statistical year and showed he had something when he went to KC (he was actually smoking things in preseason until dirtbag Harrison ended his season and Warner stepped in.) Brad Johnson had a great 99, though he slowed at the end. Brunell's 05 was nothing like the years either Green or Brad Johnson had, whatever it may be statistically. He simply wasn't as good as either of them and even in 05 his actual number of 'good' games was quite low. He was one of the big reasons the team went on a losing streak and then had to ride Portis and the D to the playoffs. Nevermind his awful showings in the playoffs. No, Brad, then Trent. Maybe even Gus, just because that team wasn't that good when he was here and he's gone on to be at least a competent spot starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Brunell? Jeebus! Are you kidding me? We were asked to put together a list of 5. I think it says more about the competition that Brunell makes that list than about his play. Statistically he had a decent year in '05 (23/10, 3050 yards, 57%). Almost completely par with Trent Green in '98 (23/11, 3441 yards, 54%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statistically he had a decent year in '05 (23/10, 3050 yards, 57%). Almost completely par with Trent Green in '98 (23/11, 3441 yards, 54%) I don't mind that he's on a list of 5. I mind that anyone would rank him above the superior pocket passer on inferior team, Green, or the guy who actually played well as a passer and led a top flight offense to a division championship (Johnson.) Unless, of course, these lists are just the 5 in no order. Considering just how horrid Brunell was in 2004, I'm almost willing to cancel out his 2005 performance and his 2006 was terrible but just not as historically bad as 2004. But again, he can be on the top 5 since we've sadly only got about season-long memories in this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michiskin Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 No one's mentioned Weurffel? I kid, I kid. But seriously, what about John Friesz? Okay, maybe not so seriously. Jeff Hostetler anyone? How bout Rich Gannon? I'm going to shut up now. I'm getting depressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bout Rich Gannon? I'm going to shut up now. I'm getting depressed. I mentioned Gannon simply because of what he went on to do. Friesz popped into my mind. Hostetler did not. The saddest thing is that of the guys at the top of the list none had more than one good season with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Operations Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Brad Johnson was great in 1st half of 1999. By 2nd half of season his arm was dead, and he was ineffective. Sad to say, but best QB we've had since Rypien is probably Mark Brunell in 2005 regular season. Jason Campbell is battling Heath Shuler for honor of worst we've had.

SkinsFTW Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Brunell's NFL Worst 5 or 6 passing yardage game run in the last 50-60 years in 2004 is why I didn't list him. IMO he never should have played again. The fact that he did play pretty well for a handful of games in 05 doesn't matter. Ramsey should have started those and we'd likely have gone even further that year.
