Worse Razorback starting QB of all time....

[mr4pt]

R. Freekin Johnson....

You could counter with Peanut Adams, it'd be a tough call.

And to think, there is talk of NumbNutt redshirting MM next year. That would be typical.

Peanut could run

the short guy who used the word confidence about a million times that wore his helment over his eyes.
so terrible i cant remember his name, he was truly forgettable.

[PorcineSublime]

Gotta be between Peanut and Burkes. RJ isn't even as bad as TJack, and that is saying something. Poor kid likely has the tools to be adequate if taught, he just has no teacher.

[Turnberry]

Pete Burks, Robert Reed, & Peanut Adams were much worse than RJ.  He's not that bad.  A lot of it has to do with the coaching.....

R. Johnson had a super reputation coming out of high school.  I have a feeling he could be a lot better QB if he had proper coaching.  Nutt certainly doesn't know how to develop a QB.  He never has and never will.  If Matt Jones hadn't been able to ad lib with the best of them, Nutt would have ruined him, too.   I hate to see us be tough on RJ since he's had almost no help from the coaching ranks.

RJ is no where near the worst...how old are you?

[kremlinhog]

thanks hog ball, burks was who i was thinking of

HAVE ANY OF YOU HAVE A BRAIN?? MITCH IS OUTTA HERE..BLAME HIM.. WATCH

Not sure I understand your post.  Mitch's name hadn't been mentioned and wouldn't be appropriate for this thread.

I am 38 years old.

I bet 90% of RJ's missed passes last night were just that,, out right bad passes. How many times did he hit a reciever in the foot last night?

They ALL have super reputations coming out of high school.

Didn't we have a flag football guy start once?

At least Peanut had a coach that realized he wasn't getting the job done, yanked his Gheri Curl ass, and replaced him with Jason Allen,  We ended up going to a bowl that year even though Allen ended up hurt and being replaced by a former band member, Wade Hill.

Houston should have realized this weeks ago and used the bye week and the ULM game to prepare a new QB.

[PigKahuna]

Wade Wilson. 

[HogBall94]

Wade Wilson still racks up big numbers on Tecmo Bowl for the Vikings - He's probably 50 now but I'm game for giving him a shot.

[Razorback Jedi]

RJ is one dimensional. Cannot handle multiple WR's running different routes. He has about 3 seconds to make a throw, and then he runs.

The pass blocking is there, he just doesn't have what it takes to stand in the pocket, step up and set his feet to make the throw. Yes, the coaching is terrible, but this kid has had 3 years to learn the system, and learn to be a QB.

Why Dick or Barthal have not been introduced into a game situation is beyond me.

My suggestion:
1. Pull RJ, and let Peyton take the snaps and run nor hand the ball off to Felix or DMac.
2. Pull RJ, and snap the ball to Felix or DMac
3. Pull RJ, put Barthal/Dick in
4. Pull RJ, < insert solution here that does not include RJ or AM >

It is/was truly painful to watch this team be lead by RoJo. No disrepect to the kid, he just doesn't have what it takes....and doesn't have the coaching staff to make up for his inability to get it done.

Wade Hill

Barthel is the one guy who might get it done.
Mortensen and Dick are drop back passers who need a passsing offense (more than two receivers) to prosper.
The few times we've seen Barthel in scrimmages he looked like a cool customer who could handle pressure.
To put him in that this point, however, would prompt a whole lot of questions about why it didn't happen sooner.

Unfortunately, I believe this is a true statement as to why our coaching staff will continue starting RJ.

Before I answer I have a question, did Houston Nutt ever start for the Hogs?

RJ was recruited by only two other schools as a qb. Nebraska and K-State. No doubt Johnson was one of the top 15 athletes in TX. He just isn't a qb.

What now...did you read all his recruiting letters?  Arkansas was the only one to recruit MJ as a QB..I just made that up..but I think its true.

[Hog Bounty Hunter]

Just one question, besides Mustain has Nutt ever recruited a great QB?  Jones was a fantastic playmaker and a good QB, but he was actually out of postion, at least the postion that would of been best for him. I never knew he would be this good at WR, I still think he needs to be in a position to get the ball more. 

[PerryHog]

Houston Nutt.









No, wait, he never got to play till he went to okie state. Never mind.

[ki285]

I was at the game yesterday and i knew robert johnson was bad, but i had no idea that he was that bad.  he is one of the worst college quaterbacks that i have ever seen.  there is no way that he deserves to have that scholarship that he is on when he is as bad as he is.  he is a great athlete, but he is not a quaterback.  he cant help them team win as long as he is in at quaterback. we cant run over teams in the sec like we do ulm and missouri state.  you have to be able to throw the football to win games in the sec.  you have to have some balance.  i have a friend that i played high school football with who plays at arkansas.  he says johnson is a great guy, but the worst outta the top 3 qbs.  he says cole bartel is the best ouut of the 3, but didnt know the playbook as well as the other 2, but he said that casey dick is the best quarterback on campus.  why live johnson in to kill us?  at least give someone else a shot.  we will b lucky to win another game this season as long as johnson is the qb

[BigPapaHawg]

I know RJ's probably not the worst Razorback QB in our history, but I bet he ranks extremely high on that list.

Jason Allen

it's obvious that he wanted to be a QB in college or he probably would've gone to one of those other schools.  I'm thinking that RJ either goes to WR or FS and we start working AM.  Barthel is probably eligible for a redshirt if he stays out of games, so I'm not sure how much of him we'll see.  but I think it's very obvious that if RJ wants to stay on the team that he's going to have to switch positions.... if not now, definitely next year when MM comes in.

[Theolesnort]

I think I have just found our new free safety, ROJO.

[RJ]

By the way, anyone know who the name of the highest rated QB recruit currently on the roster at the U of A?
