Jordan was really good, but not elite.
WTF? Are you kidding? JJ is in the top three or four of every meaningful all-time record for Griz QBs:
TOP-4 CAREER WINS FOR STARTING QB
33...Dave Dickenson, 1992-95
30...Cole Bergquist, 2005-08
29...Brian Ah Yat, 1995-98
28...Jordan Johnson, 2010-14.
MOST YARDS PASSING (career)
11,080...Dave Dickenson, 1992-95
9,315.....Brian Ah Yat, 1995-98
8,612.....Jordan Johnson, 2010-11, 2013-14.
PASSING TOUCHDOWNS (season)
42...Brian Ah Yat, 1996
38...Dave Dickenson, 1995
33...Craig Ochs, 2004
32...Jordan Johnson, 2013 (tie).
PASSING TOUCHDOWNS (career)
96...Dave Dickenson, 1993-95
89...Brian Ah Yat, 1995-98
77...Jordan Johnson, 2010-11, 2013-14.
JJ is one of only three players to appear on the PASSING YARDS TOP-30 season list 3 times (three seasons):
Dave Dickenson (1995, 1993, 1994),
Brian Ah Yat (1996, 1998, 1997),
Jordan Johnson (2014, 2014, 2011).
Think about that for a sec. 30% of the top 30 best seasons at UM are held by 3 guys.
If not for losing his 2012 season, JJ may be #1 or #2 on most of these lists.*
*Except for Super Dave’s 1995 total passing yards: 4,176 yard in one season. Holy mackerel!
