THIS GUY JUST DOES NOT GIVE UP

by Davey, Blown Coverage

There are two people on earth that think that Jeff George can still play in the NFL. One is Jason Whitlock and the other is obviously George himself. George thinks that he can help the Vikings and even called play-by-play announcer Paul Allen to gauge the team's interest in him.

"I follow the teams that I think need quarterbacks," George said. "I look around the league at the quarterbacks, and I wonder why I'm still not playing."

Well, I might have an answer for you Jeffrey. The last time you threw a pass in the NFL was in 2001. In 2001, the Dolphins were the defending AFC East champs and Tom Brady didn't even have a Super Bowl ring on his finger. That's how long ago that was.

You were released after two games that season. The first game was a 30-3 loss to San Diego followed by a 37-0 loss on Monday night against Green Bay. In those two games you had 0 touchdowns, 3 interceptions and a QB-rating of 36.4 that even Akili Smith thinks is pathetic.

The Bears gave you a shot in 2004 but studs like Chad Hutchinson, Craig Krenzel and Jonathan Quinn kept you from seeing any playing time on a team that went 5-11. The Raiders gave you a shot in '06, and this time you failed to impress while surrounded by Aaron Brooks, Andrew Walter and Marques Tuiasasopo.

I'll repeat that again. The last six quarterbacks that were deemed better than you were Chad Hutchinson, Craig Krenzel, Jonathan Quinn, Aaron Brooks, Andrew Walter and Marques Tuiasosopo. I could be wrong here but I think that that answers the question.

I know that Tarvaris Jackson, Brooks Bollinger and Kelly Holcomb are enough to drive Vikings fans to suicide, but when you get showed up by Andew Walter and Marques Tuiasosopo, it's time to get shot in the arm so that you never try a stunt like that again.

Seriously, the day I can't beat Andrew Walter in something is the day I ask Tank Johnson to put a bullet in my rotator cuff.
