In 1999 the Redskins had their best season under Norv Turner. Quarterback Brad Johnson completed 316 passes for 4,005 yards on the season, threw 24 touchdowns, and led the team into the playoffs where they beat the Detroit Lions in the Wild Card round before losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by one measly point in the Divisional round. It seemed that, for certain, the Redskins woes at QB were over for the first time since Joe Gibbs retired (the first time around).
Enter Dan the Douche. As if falling one-point shy of the NFC Championship game was too much of a failure for him, Danny went out and created a quarterback controversy by bringing in Jeff George to be a “backup” to Johnson. Of course, with the uneasy pressure of having the owner’s hand-picked QB breathing down his neck, Johnson underperformed in 2000, which led to his benching at the behest of Snyder.
George started two games that season, and two more in 2001, before he was released by new Head Coach, Marty Schottenheimer (a whole ‘nother story) following a 37-0 loss to the Packers. Brad Johnson left in the off-season, bitter and angry, and joined the Bucs … whom he guided to a Super Bowl win just a few years later. All because Dan Snyder … is a douche.
