Hey now, Hollywood Rick Johnson was an exceptional QB with exceptional grooming. He was on his way to great thing until he threw Rod Tidwell a suicide pass that caused Tidwell to learn how to end zone dance and learn the joy of the game. Johnson however faded into obscurity.
But really. He had a great arm, decent accuracy, but he was a poor decision maker. Datillio was probably the last actual starting quality QB in the CFL, since his retirement we've had
