10:13 Conclusion - Sport
The football just naturally zipped so easily when Jeff George released it. I know there are so many negative items in regards to Jeff George's career, but his highlights were awesome. What are your thoughts about Jeff George?
he just had a sick release, i can't think of another QB who threw the ball with such velocity and ease. Even compared to other greats, he was just a tick above in that sense. Also, what a great match for an Al Davis system with James Jett/Tim Brown, or with the Vikings and Randy Moss.
Agree 100%. George’s arm talent was amazing.
Jeff George was a backup after 2001
Ppl still talk about the throws that he made in the ('90) combine.
I always loved him ,the definition of raw talent,just amazing to watch
Good god. Some of those throws are unbelievable
Thank you so much for the comment and thanks for watching the video. I agree, some of those throws are unbelievable. I enjoyed doing this video while going back and seeing those throws again. Thanks again.
A lot of NFL fans don't realize how great Jeff George was. Yes, had attitude problems, but his arm was unbelievable.
You're correct, George had an unbelievable arm. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
He had a cannon
Yes but like the video narrated his reputation costed him elsewhere.
@@sethaldrich6902Pro Scouts still talk about the throws that he made at the combine that left them in complete shock.
@@dwightlove3704 yeah, imagine if he had Brady's drive/work ethic
Million dollar arm, 10 cent brain.
A ten cent arm and a million dollar brain wouldn't have gotten him a Div3 scholarship
Jeff George had all the natural ability athletes pray for, just imagine if he could have combined that with a strong work ethic or similar to Kobe Bryant’s Mentality and approach to playing sports.
I would like to add Jeff George def. worked hard because he made it all the way to NFL and lasted well above the average career in the NFL. The difference From simply working hard and going above and beyond what is expected and reaching the next level. He got that far of his natural ability and doing the minimum.
Thank you so much ade fay for the comment and thank you so much for being a sub. I understand your comment and I think many agree with you. Being a Kings and Blazers fan, I couldn't stand Kobe (may he rest in peace) but his mentality and his will were incredible. Thanks for the comment once again as I enjoyed reading it.
With division rival Buffalo starting their run of four straight Super Bowls, George was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the Colts.
I met Jeff G in Washington, he told me it’s all about putting a tight spiral on thr ball. He also said he could thow faster but couldn’t be as accurate or as easy to catch
Thanks for the comment, I enjoyed reading it. Jeff G threw a beautiful ball and that's interesting what he told you. Thanks for sharing that.
Jay Cutler reminded me of Jeff George. Both had rocket arm can make good throws. Their attitude towards the game are the same
That's an interesting comparison. Thanks for posting your comment.
And they’re both from the state of Indiana as well
Jeff George’s arm was better than Cutlers. No slight on Cutler.. both have cannons
Seen them both, George might have had the strongest arm in the history of NFL
Excuse me? Cutler? Rocket arm?? In what Alternate universe?
Best pure arm i have ever seen.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
Whether he won or not, he was fun to watch simply because of the throws he made. Nobody in league history could put that kind of velocity on the ball with so little effort. When ESPN or the NFL Network did their 'Top 100 throws of all time', they didn't have one of George's passes. They easily could have had 20 and it still wouldn't have been enough. Amazing passer....great fun to watch.
To begin, you are correct, he was fun to watch because of the throws he made. But really, not one of George's throws made that top 100 list. WOW. I briefly saw that video and I can't believe not one of JG's throws made it. Wow that is shocking. Thanks for mentioning that and thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
I agree, what an arm he had. I once heard him described as a "coach killer".
Ok that's just fucking bonkers 0:57
You should have showed MORE highlights with his time with the Vikings… for 1 he got his first play off victory… 2 him and Moss/Carter were great to watch!!! 3 they had some Huge wins that season
Thanks for the comment. I really do appreciate the critique as I always want to try to improve my videos. You're correct about adding more Vikings highlights, however, Randy Moss clips really get CR claimed. But perhaps I should have put more clips with George and Carter. Thanks again, and thanks for watching the video.
Jeff George AKA Jay Cutler. They even had the same throwing motion
Very interesting comparison. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
No they didn't. And Cutlers arm was not as strong.
Cutler would need a building with at least a 35ft ceiling to throw 70yds, whereas Jeff George could do it in a building with a 20ft ceiling... Dude threw lasers, the closest I ever saw was Todd Marinovich
For telling you the truth,with a talent like that,who cares about wins?
Only love for him
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
Classic off the charts tangibles with through the floor intangibles.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
My favorite QB besides Elway, strictly based on arm talent..
You're the 🐐 for this one
Thank you so much for the comment. I really appreciate your compliment. Elway annoyed me because he always seemed to have late game comebacks and beat teams that I liked, but he was awesome. Thanks again and have a great December.
Funny thing: irsay almost ruined elway too
@@Fireyninjadog oh yeah w the draft
I was very young during jeff George's career.. but I have herd many older nfl guys say that Jeff george was the most accurate q.b they have ever seen..
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video. George had a cannon but yes, he was also very accurate. Thanks again, enjoy the upcoming NFL season.
I played against Jeff George in high school in Indianapolis he played at Warren Central after the game he spit in my face I was a kicker that just beat them by two points
Wow, that's an incredible story. Thanks for sharing it.
Wtf lmao 😂
He was very accurate.
I saw him play in Denver when he was with the Vikes .. IN-credible arm ..
I was wondering who was Vikings QB After Cunningham And Before Culpepper, Completely Underrated QB
Underrated is an interesting work but perhaps that's correct because George is more known for the negative items but he was so good at throwing the ball. George's ability to play QB is not really mentioned a lot as it's all about his negative items. Thanks for the comment.
I loved watching him play for the vikes! Denny Green had a big ego too!
Loved to watch George play. Always felt like he preferred the excitement of putting on a show, completing beautiful deep & intermediate passes, to winning. He wanted to throw for 400 yards like everyone was assembled there for his stats competition rather than winning the game. But it was so much fun to watch. No NFL fan ever turned the channel to another game when Jeff George was playing. If every QB was like that instead of being cautious the games would be much more fun to watch today. Today’s dink & dunk, checkdown football is boring compared to how Jeff George played. He had an arm like Aaron Rodgers.
I enjoyed reading your comment. Jeff George was certainly entertaining to watch. Thanks again for a great comment and thanks for watching the video.
He was one of my favorite players growing up and didn't find out about the attitude/intangibles until later. Man, if he had 1/4th of Brady's mentality, there's no doubt that he would've won a Superbowl, maybe a couple.
Thanks for the comment. I enjoyed reading it.
What would JG's numbers be if he had Andre Rison, and Hinton. The O-line was trash, and he didnt have an elite receiver to throw to until he played for the Raiders, ATL, and the Vikings.
George was like the Roger Dorn of the NFL. God given talent, but didn’t give two shits about his team and or winning.
WOW, I would have never in a million years thought I would see a Jeff George-Roger Dorn comparison. That's awesome and you're awesome. Thanks for the entertaining comment.
It kinda fits tho! I absolutely love the content that you are putting out! I’m most definitely in your audience.
George didn't most the time didn't step into his throws ,so in one way he released the ball a fraction quicker then one who does , & as a Viking I enjoyed watching him play & he never threw rainbows, 50yrds max but threw bullets 45yrds away
Love the heart in this one. Great video dude.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment. It means a lot to me. Enjoy the rest of your December.
I love the video was awesome my favorite moment of Jeff George was a 82 yard yard pass to Billy Brooks for the Colts we still lost the game though LOL
Donny, thanks for the comment. I really appreciate it. I have to somehow find that pass. I'm interested in seeing it. That's a cool memory. Bill Brooks, so underrated. Thanks again, I enjoyed reading your comment.
Didn't know Jerry Rice had a god dang cannon for an arm at 5:27 🤣🤣
Thanks for the comment and thanks for being a sub. When I first read your comment I thought it meant that I made a mistake. But then I went back, and yeah - I forgot about that Rice highlight. That was a nice pass. I too, never knew Rice could throw like that. With all the throws I showed trying to demonstrate George's talent, you had to comment about Rice's throw - hahahaha. Nice comment. Thanks again.
Rice's throw looked to be around a 49 yard (49ers haha) strike to WR Street I believe... heck of a throw and under pressure. Glad you took time to reply, and you made a wonderful video on Jeff George, I really enjoyed watching it.
He had a rocket arm and the leadership skills, unfortunately he seemed immature or unmotivated at times. June Jones said if the Falcons had drafted him, he would be in the Hall of Fame. Randy Moss said he was the best qb he ever worked with. That says a lot.
Thank you so much for the comment. I never heard of that June Jones quote but thanks for mentioning it. I'm glad you did. But yes, Randy Moss loved Jeff George. While Brett Favre had to really wind up and throw fastballs, the ball just so easily flew off so quickly from George's release. His arm was something else. Thank you so much for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
@@90sSportsNostalgiaI can’t find the full interview, but here’s a clip of June Jones talking about his time coaching Jeff with Brad Leggett. Thanks for another great vid!
czcams.com/video/yUnmO2uBT84/video.html
Cool video, thanks for posting.
You're the best. Thank you so much. Enjoy the upcoming NFL season, it's coming soon.
That name kills me every time. 😂
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
Hey man. Hope you have a great day. As always, nice video. Hopefully more videos during the new year👍🏿
Emmanuel Mensah, thank you so much for everything. I'm glad you like the video. It means a lot to me. I hope you also have a great day.
Great call back. Jeff had a top 3 arm ever displayed probably, and probably the best I'd ever seen. It's ridiculous how the ball just shot out of his arm like that with seemingly little effort. I agree with the throw he made to Metcalf in the 1995 playoffs as his most memorable throw. That type of talent is basically a myth. Too bad George just had a bad attitude as a pro.
Thanks for agreeing with that Metcalf throw. I agree with everything you said. Like you said, that ball just shot out of his arm with seemingly little effort. Thanks again astrostar49. I really appreciate you spending time watching my channel. It means a lot to me.
@@90sSportsNostalgia Your videos are remarkable. Can't wait to hear your thoughts about more 90's sports content. Especially if it's NFL-related. Cheers.
Hope your channel blows up man really good content!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment. It means a lot to me.
Good job on this.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment and I really appreciate you spending time watching the video. It means a lot to me. Thank you so much.
It many in the history of the NFL not many could throw it quite like George
George was one of a kind. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
You don’t sound old enough to remember watching Jeff George, Sonny 😂
Thanks for the comment and thanks for making me laugh. I will say this, I wasn't old enough to see him at Purdue. But thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
@@90sSportsNostalgia you got it 👍
Jeff George was hit more than any other QB in history in his first three seasons. A number that still stands to this day. The guy was great. Just horrible teams.
Is that true that George was hit more than any other QB in history for his first 3 seasons? The name David Carr comes up when talking about a QB get knocked around a lot when he came into the league. But that Jeff George stat wouldn't surprise me as I remember he did not have a lot of time to throw when he was in Indianapolis. Thanks for mentioning that stat. I really appreciate it and thanks for checking out the video.
@@90sSportsNostalgia Carr played in more games during his first 3 years and may have been hit just as much. Both QB's had talent and were put in bad situations.
Carr certainly got hit more, same goes for Alex Smith's first 3yrs in SF
Top five best QB arms I ever saw: 1 Dan Marino, 2 John Elway, 3 Warren Moon, 4 Joe Namath, 5 Jeff George
I'm too young for Joe Namath but I like your 5. Thanks for posting your opinion.
Thanks. I'm an OG. Sixty now so I remember Namath.
All great arms, but none of the other 4 could come close to matching Jeff George's arm strength
Comment: Jeff George was the greatest Quarterback passer ever! He was up there tied with Brett Favre! It's sad that he never won a Superbowl, but this guy had an arm. George would have won many Grey Cup's in Canada (if he would have played up there in the North). Many people right now who are young in 2024, and those who 34 years of age right now in 2024 will dismiss this guy as being some type of simp but he was better than Brady, Aikman, Marino, Flutie, Moon, Brees along with the new crop of talent that the league has right now (referring to the NFL/USFL) as you are reading this. Even the African American Quarterbacks who play right now don't compare to George. This man was unique! This ball thrower (this football passer) was the Rocco Siffredi of American Football.
March 14, 2024. USA
I've made the Marino comparison many times. Same skill set.
Yes, that ball zipped off of both of their hands differently, both could make all the throws. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
If arm strength 99 was a QB
Great production. George has been one of my favorites ever since he revived Minnesota and was balling out to Moss. I thought he had the greatest long-distance cannon in the league, even more zip than Elway.
Thank you so much for the comment and thanks for watching the video. I apologize for the late reply. His zip was remarkable. People like to rip on George but it's really understandable as to why people such as yourself really like Jeff George. Thanks again.
@@90sSportsNostalgia In one of Jason Whitlock's latest shows he was interviewing Brett Favre. He told Favre that George was one on his favorite athletes. And Farve was upset George didn't get another chance, saying he was one of the most talented QBs ever and had at least four more good years to offer as a solid backup.
@@vesubioromo9425 I think the Vikes should have drafted The Freak (Jevon Kearse) in 1999 in Round 1 instead of Culpepper. Then, George could have been their QB for the next 4-7 years or so.
The Colts quarterback I remember who was unbeatable when healthy was Bert Jones. But injuries cut short what I always thought was one of the best slingers who ever played the game. When he was on the field nothing could stop the Colts. But injuries brought his career to a swift end.
You're the first person to mention Bert Jones in any of the comment sections and it's awesome. The first time I heard about Bert Jones was in a free video my family got after buying 4 quarts of oil or something, but it was when I was really young, and in that video Boomer Esiason said Jones was his favorite QB.
@@90sSportsNostalgia Bert Jones was the reason I became a Colt fan back in 75. I thought he was a cool cat.
Based on pure arm talent, I'll say that nobody was better than Jeff George. His arm was just freakish, and he could sling it with ease. However, there is indeed always a "but" with Jeff George.
George wasn't someone who was gonna put in the extra work that was needed to no only be successful, but sustain that success. He did things his way, and his way was just letting his arm do the work. His arm was good enough to get him by for a little while, but it was not sustainable. Plus he wasn't someone who was gonna get his teammates to rally around him. During his time in Washington, he said that leadership was overrated. Nobody in Washington wanted him except the owner. And everyone knows about Dan Snyder and his hands-on style. If he really wanted something, 9.9/10 times he was gonna get it.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video. You're completely right about his time in Washington. I missed that leadership quote. Thanks for mentioning that. Thanks again.
@@90sSportsNostalgia I'm a Washington fan, so I saw it all up close. Marty while he was working for ESPN said that he couldn't work for someone like Snyder, but Snyder convinced him to take the HC job. At the time, Snyder really knew how to sell a product. Everyone knew that George was not a good fit for Marty Schottenheimer's offense, but Marty when he took the job had no choice but to go with him to start the season. And as you pointed out, it didn't last long. George was cut by Marty after the first two games of 2001. Washington was outscored 67-3 in those two games.
People forget that Marty wasn't able to do much in free agency because the team was so hurt by the cap thanks to all the big moves that were made the year prior. Marty walked into a mess.
Supremely under appreciated. Minnesota truly could have won a Super Bowl if they had just sat Culpepper for one more season, but Denny Green and his racist attitude of wanting to be the first black head coach to win the SB and he wanted to do it with a black qb, he said as much in his book that off season. Another George story is that he was out of the league for a year or two, but when Moss was traded to the Raiders, he convinced them to bring him in for a tryout because he loved playing with George. This was a great video, thanks so much
Great video! The primary reason that I remember the 1995 Atlanta Falcons is because that victory of theirs over San Francisco helped to keep my bears out of the playoffs that year.
Bears kept themselves out that year.
Starting 6-2 and finishing 9-7.
No excuse for losing 5 of 6. They only had themselves to blame that year
Oh , I agree whole heartedly . Especially when we lost to the Rams and Bengals on the road.
I remember that. That Falcons game shocked the Bears fans and all of the Bears postgame shows as Chicago needed ATL to lose for CHI to get into the postseason. Then the Bears would begin to decline during the Wannstedt era, I think mainly due to the poor drafting and player personnel decisions. Thanks for the comment. I hope you can somehow enjoy the rest of the Bears season.
I forgot about that, the Bears starting off at 6-2. Thanks for mentioning that Alex D.
Jeff George was the highest rated QB at the NFL combine ever. I was a big Dan Marino fan and your comparison in throwing the ball was accurate. George's arm & release was up there with Marino & Namath. His attitude & mindset was up there with Ryan Leaf.
Thanks for the comment. I really enjoyed reading it. Yeah, Colts coach Ron Meyer fell in love with his arm talent, I think it was at the combine. Thanks again and thanks for checking out the video.
Jeff George = Football Kenny Powers
I have no idea how to respond to that, but a comparison I did not expect. Thanks for watching the video and thanks for the comment. Enjoy the rest of the NFL Playoffs.
Jeff George, best arm ... EVER!!! 🇰🇷23
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
All you "Noodle Arm" haters of Tua need to watch this clip. Jeff George is proof you don't need a cannon arm to win a championship or a passing title. The QB position requires Accuracy, Awareness, Ball placement, Anticipatory skills, pocket presence, footwork. Absolutely doesn't require you to have a cannon for an arm. Noodle arm was the #1 rated QB in the league when healthy. Is it nice to have? Sure it is, it receives attention just like it is right now. Jeff George, Brett Favre, Dan Marino had some of the best arms I have ever seen. But it doesn't solely make you a champion.
Thanks for the comment. I never expected to get a comment about Tua haters - certainly unexpected. Hope Tua stays healthy and makes you look smart. Enjoy the upcoming NFL season. Thanks again.
Jeff George has more talent in his pinky finger than Turndaballova has in his whole body.
Your comparison to Marino is not wrong at all. Ive watched some games of his rookie season and that's who people were comparing him to!
I think George just didn't fit well with Indy's scheme and that's why he struggled there. He flourished far better in Atlanta, Oakland and Minnesota and he became a great West Coast Offense QB. But his inconsistency, attitude problems and lack of success are what everyone remembers about him sadly.
Correction: He adapted to the West Coast Offense in Minnesota but you were right, he hated it when he was in Oakland. Funny enough, Randle Cunningham also struggled with the West Coast when Gruden became OC of Philly......however, when he went to Minnesota, they ran a West Coast Offense that saw Cunningham have his best season.
Jared, great comment. Thanks for posting it. Perhaps you're correct about the scheme in Indy. Thanks for mentioning that. Interesting you talked about the situation in Philly, because I originally did write that in for a comparison of what happened in Oakland as Cunningham was benched in favor of Rodney Peete who was better for Gruden's system. But I wound up taking that out. But thanks for mentioning that with the comment. Also, I think you made a great point about George adapting to the WC offense in MIN. But thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video. Enjoy the rest of the NFL season.
George didn't get traded in 1996 because he wanted to be a FA the next year. He was going to get traded to Seattle for Rick Mirer, but he refused. In hindsight, he would have been better off going to Seattle than going to Oakland in FA.
Thanks for that extra info. I was not aware of that potential trade to Seattle. That would have interesting to have JG with Dennis Erickson and Joey Galloway. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
He threw laser beams, he could throw 70yds in a building with a 20ft ceiling
Awesome comment and awesome making me think about Jeff George throwing 70 yards with a 20 ft ceiling. Love the comment. Thank you so much.
@@90sSportsNostalgia
It certainly drove the point I was trying to make, all the way home.. 💯💯
Might be my personal favorite QB ever aside from Montana and Elway. Closer to Elway than Montana for sure . But his arms I think reigns supreme
Always like hearing from the Jeff George fans. Seems like there are so many more Jeff George haters (mainly from the media) than Jeff George fans. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
I am a Vikings fan since the 80's and we'll remember the late 90's teams. Jeff George had the greatest arm I've ever seen. My buddy and I to this day still talk about the greatness of "King George" and joke about him returning to bring the Vikings that elusive first Superbowl!
Great comment. I enjoyed reading it. I think you're the first person I've ever heard or seen to call Jeff George "King George" . I don't think I've seen that nickname before associated with JG. Hope the Vikes have a great 2023 season for you. Thanks again.
When Cousins went down this year one of my thoughts was... Where's Jeff George? 😂
@@90sSportsNostalgia They are fairly similar but George's arm is definitely next level.
I know june jones was a bad head coach, but he's a great qb coach. His run and shoot offense proved to be effective. He helped develop Hall of famer warren Moon and helped develop another pro bowl qb in chris Miller. In 1995, the Falcons had 3 receievers go over 1,000 yards, including a special teams returner
Thanks as always for your great comments. I have always been someone who's defended the run and shoot offense. I hope to do a video about that later on. Also, great extra information. June Jones with ATL and SD had his rough times in the NFL but I thought he did a really good job in college at Hawaii and turning around SMU. Thanks again for all of your support.
you never see any footage of the 1990 nfl draft we need more draft content on YT
Great comment because I would like to see more footage of the 1990 NFL Draft. All there really is, is DAL drafting Emmitt Smith and then I like some of the footage from the NFL Network Top 10 Draft Day Trades with Jeff George. Thanks again for the comment and thanks for checking out the video.
Yeah great talent but he’s one of those guys that didn’t become determined to improve in those areas where he was wanting.
Thank you so much for the comment and thanks for watching the video. Have a great December.
George had one of the strongest arms I'd say top 5 we're Marino,Elway,George,Favre,Cutler.. 3 of those guys were great, 2 we're good but I think they underachieved I think bad attitude is what separated Cutler and George from the others.. If I'm missing a guy with great arm strength I'd like to hear it, I feel like I'm missing a guy or 2...Vick actually threw darts too, probably stronger arm than Cutler and maybe the others, he's such a great runner I think his arm strength got overlooked..but yeah I'd like to hear some other that threw lasers on the field if I'm missing some
Thank you so much for the comment. I really enjoyed reading it. I think those 5 are extremely fair to mention. I just want to mention someone who I thought had an absolute cannon, but I don't think he would be on anyone's list, and that is Michael Bishop who didn't have much of an NFL career but he was awesome at Kansas State. I might do a video on him in the future. But I like your list, thanks for posting it, thanks for watching the video and thanks for being a sub. Enjoy the rest of the NFL season.
@@90sSportsNostalgia yes I remember Michael Bishop and yes he threw it so hard I remember his WRers at KState would say how they had welts on there body after practicing or games from him..Also he dislocated/broke some fingers.. 😆 but yes I forgot about him.. the 90s I knew who everybody was and we're they came from, Sports has changed so much I know no college guys and really only watch postseason, but I have so much knowledge from the 90s and love your channel it takes me back to that time, your so cool for having this channel, I appreciate what u do, I will join your Patreon in a few months, I'm trying to move soon and spending 0 right now...I know you spend a lot of time making these videos..
Favre, no. Cutlers propulsion was overrated
The Mad Bomber, mr Daryl LaMonica is right up there with Marino
Elway & George are on a tier all their own, they had alien limbs
Indianapolis/Atlanta/Oakland/Minnesota/Washington/Seattle/Minnesota/Chicago
/Oakland
That's the franchise lineup of Jeff George. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
A great QB
I liked watching him a lot. So talented. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
I honestly think Jeff George would have been an all-time great if he had more support, never in his entire career did he have support from a talented coaching staff. The only times he had good coaches they wanted to get rid of him from day 1. He was immature, but a lot of great qbs started out that way.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video. I wonder how people would have viewed Jeff George if somehow the Vikings, who had a good coaching staff, could have retained him. I think numerous young QBs would have struggled mentally, but to what degree, with the Colts in the early '90s. Thanks again, great comment.
my name es jeff
The most beautiful motion and the most gifted QB of all time, please do not compare to Turtle Marino, George had the power Marino hasnt, and that Turtle Marino motions with his foot and turtle movements makes me so nervous.
Thanks for the comment. I never heard Turtle Marino before. You're the first person I have ever heard that nickname from. Marino did have quick feet in terms of getting his feet set in the pocket and then making a throw. But aside from that, I maybe can see why Marino made some people nervous with some of his movements. I do like your comment "The most beautiful motion and the most gifted QB of all time". Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
@@90sSportsNostalgia Turtle Marino is the most overrated QB, those numbers were made because he threw 40 times or more per game, they always justify the turtle for not having a ground attack, but if they didn't it was because of the turtle, poor Jimmy Johnson without the turtle would have done a great job in Miami, but the turtle deprived him of being able to work properly, in the turtle's last season the substitute QB had a 5-0 mark, it was the turtle arriving vs Jacksonville and embarrassing all people of Florida , and yes the turtle had some movements that made nervous even someone highly drugged.
Good job dude, this video is great
"A Great Passer, but...."
That pretty much sums up Jeff George: "But..."
Case study as to how a talented Franchise-level QB ends up a journeyman.
Pro Scouts still talk about his throws at the NFL COMBINE
Thanks for the comment, thanks for watching the video and thanks for being a sub. I wish I could have seen him sling it in person. Thanks again.
And 2023 will levis/ Tim couch
We'll see. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
One of my all time faves . Gem to watch his highlights still. But George was a way better athlete than Marino for comparison. Marinos footwork was more disciplined because he had to be but George was way better athlete and he did have great footwork just improvised a lot behind bad lines
Thanks for the comment. You're the first person to comment about comparing the athleticism between Marino and George. Very interesting perspective. I really appreciate the comment. I think you made some great points.
@@90sSportsNostalgia this was fun. Mirer and shuler were two of my favorite all time college qb's . Those guys had some fun talent too. I think would still be drafted today where they were based on talent alone . Both could wing it with the best 70+ yards . And incredible athletes
I understand the argument but Jeff George wasn't a good passer. Dude had no touch. His whole M.O. was to throw the ball as hard as possible and sometimes change the trajectory. When you watch Marino, he could make all types of throws at different velocities. Every George throw in this video is basically him throwing as hard as possible to a WR running a streak route 20+ yards downfield. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but not by much.
Jeff George was awesome to watch but mostly due to his flawed talent. He was capable of anything both good and bad.
Thanks a lot for the comment and watching the video. I really like your comment. I do slightly disagree with George throwing the ball as hard as possible on every pass as I thought he could put touch on the ball, as changing the trajectory on the pass is part of putting touch on the ball (perhaps I should have used better highlights). I thought Kurt Warner was the best at putting touch on his passes when he needed to and George was nowhere as good as Warner at doing that. But with that said, I thought George could somewhat throw with touch, but maybe I'm wrong and you're right as I got deceived as the ball just comes out of George's hand with such ease but explodes to the receivers. Nonetheless, great comment and thanks a lot.
Dude George’s arm was insane. He had touch if he wanted too
@@jettcapson2
Exactly, this dude acts like JG threw Nolan Ryan heaters to guys 11yds away 😂😂😂
Huge mistake by Vikings
It would have been interesting to see George with the Vikes 2000 and beyond. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
Best arm ever....but a head case ...I loved him as a qb but just not very agreeable
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
Brad Johnson 1A Super Bowl Jeff George never got close
Thank you so much for the comment. It annoys when people think about TB winning the SB with a bad QB. Johnson was a very good QB, even with WSH despite owner Dan Snyder who apparently didn't like him. While with TB, Johnson wasn't asked to do much like during his days with WSH and MIN. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.
Brad Johnson was basically a slightly more talented Trent Dilfer, just like the 2000 Ravens Defense delivered Dilfer a ring, Johnson was the beneficiary of an overly dominant Tampa Defense.... Brad Johnson didn't fare any better in Minnesota than Jeff George
It just seemed Jeff still in prison for drug racketeering and murder
Jeff George is NOT in prison and NEVER has been ! That is a different guy. Stop spreading ridiculous lies ! When doing elementary style "research" on somebody online, try to avoid going with the very 1st thing that you come across and not digging deep enough to realize this kind of moronic mistake. The worst part about your comment is that other dopes will read it and believe it ! You're the same jerk that claimed above that Jeff spit in your face after a high school game, I would say this dumb, untrue comment puts that claim in doubt as well. You obviously have some kind of grudge against Jeff to do this stuff. The admin should remove your comments.
Huh
Jeff George had the greatest arm ever. He shot that ball out of his arm like a bazooka
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video. There was definitely something special with that right arm of Jeff George. Thanks again and have a great weekend.
