Stephen Johnson made at least one fan a believer

Something happened last weekend, during the Tennessee game, that I hadn’t anticipated would ever completely happen.

I became a Stephen Johnson advocate.

For too long, I’d heard too many apologies about Johnson’s play. As he was overthrowing, under throwing and missing receivers, as he was fumbling and throwing interceptions, as he was getting sacked way too often for a QB with his running, scrambling abilities, I kept hearing, “Look at his win-loss record.”

As if Jordan Jones, Boom Williams, Denzil Ware, Josh Allen, Austin MacGinnis, Juice Johnson, Courtney Love, Mike Edwards, Jon Toth, Bennie Snell and the rest hadn’t had something to do with it.
