Lil J ReD13 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 falcons should draft the QB Josh Johnson from San Diego. this boy resembles a bit like michal vick and vince young. this QB has the arm strenthg to drop it off deap and the speed to take off and run and is also deadly on does short range passes. josh johnson is like a 2nd to 4th rond pick for the falcons.

Norwood32 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 His lack of arm strength doesn't fit our system. Which is also why JDB is out of the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil J ReD13 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 why do u think he cant play with the falcons. he can learn how to play the falcons style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 It's his arm strength that doesn't fit the system. We're planning on a power running game with vertical down field passes, and he may not be able to make all the throws that are neccesary to run this offense properly. Now if we were running a WCO where the majority of the passes are short to medium range passes then he might be a solid option to consider.

Carter Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Why was nothing ever said about his arm strength until just recently?I think someone is making crap up again, because up until recently all anyone had to say about Josh Johnson is that he has a rare combination of arm strength, accuracy, and mobility that could make him a star in the right situation.

Robb4242 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Carter (3/9/2008)Why was nothing ever said about his arm strength until just recently?I think someone is making crap up again, because up until recently all anyone had to say about Josh Johnson is that he has a rare combination of arm strength, accuracy, and mobility that could make him a star in the right situation.I don't question his arm strength, and neither does scouts, inc. Why I wouldn't take him is because even if he lands in the perfect situation for him, he's 4 years from being ready to take over & lead an NFL team. We don't have that kind of time for him to develop. Josh JohnsonQB | (6'2", 200, 4.639) | SAN DIEGOScouts Grade: 70Flags: (B: BULK/SIZE) Lacks size/bulk for position View by: Player | NCAA School | Position | NFL Team | Flag | All Ranked Players | NFL Draft History You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below. Strengths: Possesses adequate height and enough room on his frame to add necessary bulk. Excellent athlete for the position. Has quick feet, gets set quickly and is agile enough to avoid pressure on a consistent basis. Buys a lot of second-chance passing opportunities with his feet and is a legitimate running threat when he breaks contain. However, he is not a run-first QB. He shows good patience in the pocket and will go through his progression reads. He can throw on the run with good velocity and accuracy. Has a quick release and above-average arm strength. Gets good zip on deep out throws and can fit the ball into some tight spots. Seems to be most comfortable throwing vertically. He gets good air under his deep throws and shows good touch as a vertical passer. Very good ball skills. Has long arms and big hands. Does a great job of selling play fakes.Weaknesses: Lacks ideal size. Height is adequate but not good and he must add bulk in order to hold up at the next level. He's a streaky passer that can be accurate at times but will lose the strike zone at other times. He needs to learn to change up his velocity on some of his throws; he tends to put too much zip on shorter throws. Seems to struggle with his accuracy on underneath throws (screens, flares, dump offs, wheel routes, etc.) more than he does on intermediate-to-deep throws. He's a small-school quarterback (non-scholarship DI-AA) that will undoubtedly have a severe learning curve in the NFL. Still telegraphs too many of his throws and gets away with a lot of questionable decisions that he will pay for in the NFL.Overall: Johnson played 44 games in four seasons at San Diego (2004-'07), moving into the starting lineup in 2005. In his first three years, he completed 518 of 764 attempts (67.8 percent) for 6,711 yards, 70 touchdowns and just 14 interceptions. He also rushed for 1,138 yards and 17 touchdowns on 206 carries (5.5 average) in that span. As a senior, he may have been the most efficient and prolific player at any position in college football. He completed 205 of 300 attempts (68.3 percent) for 2,976 yards, 42 TDs and just one interception, finishing with an astounding 197.19 passer rating. He also ran for 674 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson is one of the most intriguing prospects in the 2008 class. He needs to add bulk to his tall but lanky frame and he still has much room to improve in terms of reading coverage and making his progressions. However, he is a confident player with underrated passing skills and outstanding mobility. He answered some questions regarding his ability to make the leap from a non-scholarship FCS program to the NFL when he stood out as the most electrifying playmaker in the East-West Shrine game. Most importantly, he proved that he's not just a running quarterback by remaining patient in the pocket and going through his progressions before opting to run as a final option. Johnson is still very much underrated in our opinion and he's worth the investment in Round 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I agree that he will have a steep learning curve, but I think the severity of it may be dramatized a bit much. The game of football is the game of football... it's not like he was playing with a frisbee way down in I-AA land or something. He took every snap from under center, which is exactly what he'll be doing in the NFL. The biggest adjustment is going to be to the speed of the game... but that's an adjustment every prospect has to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this may be football, from a competitive standpoint, it might as well have been frisbee. The adjustment that Johnson would have to make at this point just to play D1 would be immense...No F'in' Way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
