Why couldn't Rexy have blown out his stupid knee in '06?

I still think we'd have hoisted a 2nd Lombard trophy with Griese at the helm.

Not every random thought has to be it’s own thread.

Also... huh?

Agreed. Please don't clutter, I try to find a relevant thread if I have a thought/news to post.

Griese was fine, I guess? He had one comeback win that season and was definitely more 'stable' than Grossman, but that team was backsliding down from a huge SB loss.

Not to mention it was 12 YEARS AGO so maybe we should focus less on how Angelo/Lovie let the team down and more about the future of this team.

no

I'd never wish an injury on a player, but I can't help but think you're onto something with this thought.

A+ thread.

This is an A+ thread?

I need to go consult my sarcasm chart to figure out what is going on here.

I remember Brian Griese but don't recall us winning many games when he was our QB


A better question is could Superman have been our Tom Brady in 1997 instead of Rick Mirer?

No, no that's a good question that needs to be answered. My question is could Bull Halsey have been our LaGarrette Blount instead of Cap Boso....ah fuck, I thought I had something there.

I withdraw the question, your honor.

06 was lost when Tommie Harris went down in December vs Minnesota. If he doesn't tear his hamstring, I think we win with Rex. The D was not the same after that. Still very good, but far from the dominance displayed prior.
