BoondckCL Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 How did the '99 team make the playoffs with Linton as the featured back?!? 743817[/snapback] Was Linton the featured back? I believe he was splitting with Morris and Bryson. I could be wrong too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine ESPN's reaction to this now with their overreporting of the NFL preseason??? 743753[/snapback] If the OL gave RJ LOADS of time to throw the ball he was a great QB (then again there aren’t many QBs that are bad when given time to throw). He was accurate as hell and had a cannon for an arm...just don't ask him to make a quick decision (or even a semi-quick decision). If there was any pressure at all he fell apart. Unfortunately for RJ, in the NFL you're never going to get loads of time on a consistent basis. I'd imagine the box score above came from one of the few games where he had lots and lots of time.
