Not true. Everyone hated the guy. He had blowups with every coach he had in the NFL. He whined incessantly in Indianapolis and was ran out of town there because his teammates absolutely hated the guy.

@@mijreedLol wat…? Everyone loved to party, do coke & go to str!p clubs with JG. Moss said that JG was his favourite qb ever to work with

Ik right, he was only like 29 here, but he looks about 45 lol.

i use to think he looked like a thinner tom arnold

Hes always looked older than his age he looked like a 40 year old man in college lol

It’s Elway, JG, & LaMonica

Motel 6 right up the road! TRUE 😂

+Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot George put up the stats... but we were snake bitten that year... we lost more than handful of games that were really close! That Jets game in NY was example of 'Murphy's Law" and also the MNF against KC when the Chiefs came back to win the game at the end.

Gannon was a way better leader, too. Look how much of an immature prick he was doing a victory lap and I'm a guy who doesn't mind showboating.

Hollow stats my man. Most of the losses after October were blowouts (Carolina, Miami, KC and Denver rematches, Jacksonville). He put up a good chunk of those numbers in the first 6-7 games. Then when the offense stagnated, as a high pressure offense is bound to do, they stopped being competitive. And that's something Al Davis never really understood. The game evolved in to one of control and balance. He still thought you could go deep whenever.

You gotta understand George ran most of the time while his time in Oakland , meaning the offense back then wasn’t a lockdown offense ,he had no pass protection unlike GANNON , he had a better offense of line and chucky grooming Gannon to be more lethal , made him a more fierce QB . To play against .

@@loyal2thesoil412 Gannon got sacked 49 times his first year in 1999. So that's not true about the oline. Yet despite Tyrone Wheatley being the only addition, the offense scored 109 more points. George was a one trick pony...a low budget Dan Marino. Gannon could beat you in so many different ways because he could run, improvise a throw, etc.

A talented arm is an understatement

He definitely had waaaaay more arm strength lol

Unfortunately, today's Falcons have no swag whatsoever

Yet Matt Ryan has the HOF career

And this is why the Falcons have the worst fans. They would rather have Jeff George going 3-13 with "Swag" than Matt Ryan going 13-3. Or they talk about the Mike Vick era" when he could not have back to back winning seasons..

@@bigglilwayne7050is this irony…? sarcasm?

Yea the Raiders Defense was like last in the league. His Atlanta teams also had bittom of the barrel defenses. Cant win games without decent defense.

It’s Elway & George, they’re on a tier all their own. They had alien limbs. After those two, probably the Mad Bomber Daryl LaMonica.

true but his lack of mobility hurt him as well. That's why Gruden got rid of him for Rich Gannon who was a career backup compared to George who always started and took the Falcons to the playoffs.

John Mongani Rich Gannon was overrated so is Gruden. Al Davis rued the day he got rid of Jeff George the closest he ever came to having another big play explosive quarterback like Daryle (The Mad Bomber) Lamonica.

John Mongani, George was no less mobile than Hall of Famer, Dan Marino. The main problem, again, was his *attitude.* If you act like a punk even when you don't have to, it's because you *are* one. Simple as that.

Drae Nelson- I couldn’t agree with you more.

Drae Nelson jay cutler wasn’t this much of a dick

Cutler had defenses.

JPk 2nd04 In Indy he had problems and got to Atlanta he had problems with authority when he got to Oakland he got in. The James Dean of NFL "A rebel without a cause.

He wouldn't survive because he had a mouth/attitude that his play wasn't backing up. George going back and beating the Falcons was a nice little moment for him, but the man just wasn't a winner. Dude had an absolute gun for an arm though. And I'd argue that based on arm talent alone, nobody was better.

comon man don't leave us hanging. Was he the best athlete those years? was he a problem then as he was in the pros?

@@johnmongani5223 arrogance. College recruiting bonuses. Ferrari repod by a certain college.

@@louisbailey4900 wow no wonder he turned out the way he did. his ego was bigger than his arm which was really big. what a waste...

@@johnmongani5223 google "Ryan Murphy". He created "Glee" ,"American Horror Story" "Nip/Tuck" and a ton of other shows. He went to school with us at Warren Central. His wiki page ,he mentions "dating" a bunch of football players in high school. SMH... As for his football talent....he had a better arm in high school than most pros at the time. Scary thing....his son was the QB at Warren Central too....and has a better arm than his dad. That kid is a freaking beast of a QB

@@louisbailey4900 Jeff George is gay?

Both his Falcons aNd those Raiders had bottom of the league defenses ...........

He had great mechanics you dolt 😂😂😂

@@nigabastard1268 Yes, George had excellent mechanics. He was strong, but unlike many QBs George put it all together -legs, hips, back, arm. This is why he makes it look easy.

George's career never took off but he did take the Falcons to the playoffs and had a great arm.

And the Colts in 1992

D DIESEL True.

Jeff's best run was with the Vikings in 1999. He was 8-2 as a starter and 1-1 in playoffs.

Nah....JaMarcus Russell would get that vote.
