Brad Johnson was a pretty good QB but the backup Shaun King almost got that Bucs defensive core to the SB without a passing game.
I thought this was farce, but I see that you are actually being serious. Ha! Good stuff. It's like when Jay Barker "led" Alabama to the 1992 national title without a passing game and very little semblance of an offense. Surprised that Barker didn't set the NFL on fire.

What Bucs fans think that Shaun King got them to the SB? Yes, it was a bad call, but not sure if Bucs would have eventually scored a TD on their last drive. IIRC, the Bucs intercepted Warner on the first play of the game and 59 minutes 50 seconds later the Bucs wind up with 6 total points. That Bucs defensive effort was one of the best in NFL history, and King completely wasted it. The Bucs always played the Rams tough in that era.

Unlike Trent Dilfer(who was ironically the backup on that 99 Bucs team), Johnson had IMO 2 HOVG worthy WRs Keshawn Johnson and McCardell. Had 2 good TEs in Dilger and Jurevicus.
A lot wrong here, but I'll just say that Keshawn Johnson is not even HOVG-worthy. He was a terribly inefficient WR.
