Nighthawk Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I'd take Rob Johnson over Rick Mirer any day. At least Johnson has won games in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cskin Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I can see it now... the media will rave about this signing and claim that the Raiders are on course to turn things around and make a push for the playoffs. Of course, if he entered a game as a Redskin QB the team would be ridiculed for having such a moronic backup incapable of grasping Spurrier's "COMPLEX & POTENT" offense. Eff the media!!!!
