Interesting Take on Brad Johnson

I found this post on Mosley's blog from a writer that covered Johnson during his stay in Minnesota.  I found it pretty interesting as it provides insight that you don't get by just looking at the stats.  For instance:

Let's be clear: Johnson doesn't throw as well as he did when the Vikings drafted him in 1992. But there are ways to minimize fading arm strength, and the Vikings did an excellent job of it in 2005 when Johnson won his first six starts in place of the injured Daunte Culpepper. Essentially, Vikings coach Mike Tice sat down with Johnson to learn what he was most comfortable with and worked those plays into the weekly game plan.

The following year, however, Childress was installing the fundamentals of his offense and wasn't comfortable with the idea of massaging it to fit the strengths of his quarterback. Childress believes that a quarterback should function within a scheme, as Donovan McNabb had done for him in Philadelphia, rather than the other way around.

So I think that provides a bit of encouragement for those of us that are concerned about Johnson leading the team.  Especially after seeing the following statement later in the article.

Johnson is close friends with Dallas offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, and the Cowboys will no doubt mold their attack to fit Johnson's skills.

I am not one of those people that thinks that Romo going down will be good for the team, though I can see some positives that could result from the situation.  I am also not one that thinks that we will play better under Johnson, though I hope we can play well enough to at least go 1-2 over the next 3 games and would be elated at 2-1.
