Scotty Wooty Doo Doo Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Simply baffling!!!! Just go and sign a passing game coordinator , not a guy thats played for 11teams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNuuFaaolaExperience Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Josh Johnson must be a swell guy for him to have all of these opportunities. You don't stick around this long if you're a bad player AND a bad guy. I looked for a highlight video and this is what came up. Watch at least the first 12 seconds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetFreak89 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 He was with the 49ers last year, he likely could help Zach pick up the playbook or act as a sounding board. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rex-n-effect Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I don't have any strong feelings about his signing but I hope by the early season the coaching staff has confidence in Wilson/Morgan/White to roll with a young jag-free QB room.

mrcoops Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Mobile guy with a decent arm, has been around forever. Knows the SF system, which probably was key to the Jets bringing him in. A marginal NFL backup, but a guy with lots of camp experience who can take some reps and help out the young guys. It will be a surprise if he is still on the roster come week one. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sourceworx Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Is this a guy with potential as a future coach? If so this signing makes some sense. Otherwise I am confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post #27TheDominator Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 I think everybody is missing the point of this signing. This isn't a guy that you sign because you need a vet or are worried about your QB room. He is a great athlete that can spot start. He is not expected to be on the roster, but he can be like a 4th QB. A guy that learns your system and can be ready to jump in if there is an injury. If they roll with White and Morgan, the likelihood is that if they cut one he will get poached. Possibly even off the practice squad. Johnson will learn the system, make a little money and be on his couch in September and October if you need him. The Jets have had him in several times for workouts. He is not a guy you will ever count on to start, but he is not a joke either. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a free agent is better than what's on your roster, you sign the guy. Josh Johnson is a JAG but he has starting experience and many years of practices. If a better free agent QB shakes loose, that guy will be signed and Double J goes back to the scrap heap. I've seen footage of JJ play, and at the very least, he capable of handing off and hitting a wide open target. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Well if he were with the 9ers last year, that would suggest at the very least LaFleur is on board with this move, for whatever reason that might be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnknownJetFan Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 3 hours ago, Lith said: Just a guy to add to the backup QB conmpetition. Still hoping Morgan or White can outplay him and win the job. But if he is the best of the 3, it may say more about Morgan/White than it says about Johnson. Since PS rules are the same this year we can leave either Morgen or White protected each week on the PS so they cannot be taken by another team and that is how we can keep one of them as a 3rd stringer without wasting a roster spot. This is assuming Johnson earns the number 2 role as an actual backup to provide some level of insight to Wilson and come in at times of game(s) if needed. Then hopefully we can use the extra roster spot on perhaps WR Smith since you just really have to keep 7 WRs on the roster, and even a few on the PS though protection there can only be done for like 2 players each week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Did we ever make any offer to Minishew? I recall us talking about it. I would have loved that kid as a backup who could actually win a game. Right now, we have "Morgana Le Fay", "The White Stripes" and this relic. Just sounds like a cluster f*ck if Zack goes down.

They can't make an offer to Minshew. He is under contract to the Jaguars for another two years. They can make offer for him, but personally I am not in favor of giving up any assets beyond money for a QB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenbloodblitz Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Okay so without reading all the banter let me just say this. The reason they brought in Josh Johnson is because he's been on multiple teams, he will help the young QB's acclimate themselves to NFL life in training camp. On the other hand, they're also going to ask the young QBs, who knows the system thus far and who can help teach Josh Johnson? This is how you find your leaders. It's a psychology thing. It's part of coaching. if you take Nathan Shepherd for example, the reason he is on this team is because he was already married and had children and took time off from college to join the Peace corps. Then he made it to the NFL and he's a good example of how to be a good man. He's not just here for his play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
