This is absolutely true. I think I hate Josh Reed more than Holcomb. I have been nearly reduced to tears because of passes that Josh has dropped.

What about Lee Evans? True, Lee's decent and hasn't reached his upside yet, but I remember being pissed that draft day over the Losman trade and not taking and D line, so was mad at Lee for association ....wait unless we're talking about Lee Evans from Something About Mary?  |

NFL
Johnson finally back
From News Wire Services
8/17/2006
ALBANY - More than two years after appearing in his last game and 18 months after having a tendon transplanted in his elbow, Rob Johnson will try to show the New York Giants he still can play quarterback.
Johnson will continue his comeback from Tommy John-style elbow surgery when the Giants (1-0) host Kansas City (0-1) tonight (8 p.m., Ch 29) in a preseason game.
"Oh, I am going to be nervous," said the 33-year-old Johnson, formerly the starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. "If you are not nervous, it's not important."
This is a very important game for the 10-year veteran who last played Dec. 22, 2003, appearing in relief for Oakland.
Johnson's career was in doubt at that point. A severely frayed elbow tendon left him with little feeling in his right hand. It was so bad he couldn't pump gas. He needed rehabilitation, surgery and more rehab to get back into football. The Giants signed him in May.
"I'll go in there and play like I used to play, try to make some plays, try to make big plays," Johnson said. "That's what I like to do. I am not going to go in there with a negative mind-set that I can't do this and can't do that."
Johnson has been inconsistent battling Tim Hasselbeck and Jared Lorenzen for the No. 2 spot behind Eli Manning.
Johnson has made quick decisions, but the two-a-day workouts have tested his arm. His long passes have been wobbly.
"He's rusty, obviously, because he hasn't had an entire couple of years of being at this," said Giants coach Tom Coughlin, who also had Johnson in Jacksonville in the mid-1990s. "He's very hard on himself, very impatient. He does some good things, and then, of course, he does some things that are not so hot. He's getting there."
Manning will start the game. Johnson will replace him in what might be his only chance to impress the Giants, since Manning will see the majority of action against the Jets next week.
"It always comes down to how you play in the games," said Johnson, a well-weathered California surfer look-alike. "Practice is always big, but there are always good practice players that can't perform in games. This is a huge opportunity."

If I was a Giants fan, that quote would probably make me slit my wrists. |

If I was a Giants fan, that quote would probably make me slit my wrists. Luckily the Giants have Eli. I expect big things from them this year. Rob Johnson wont even sniff the roster. I read that hes gonna get cut anyway. |

I was thinking he would be a 3rd-string guy, but if he gets cut, hopefully he'll get hit by a bus on his way out of town.
