Johnson was given a hrd time in his second season.

It wasn't just about Snyder, he said he was relieved to get out of DC for 'many reasons.'

This team is ALWAYS too quick to make heroes and then villains out of QBs.

Gus was no world beater but the point was that he was treated like one too early, one pro-bowl season does not make a HOF career but expectations became unrealistic from a lot of people and he was never going to live up to that.

He has proven, esp at Denver and Minnesota, that he is a great back-up who can perform very well in those circumstances, just not a week-to-week dependable player.
