Jeff George was probably the worst. As bad as Canidate was, I mean after that hit he took from Bowen the handwriting was on the wall, George was worse. A.) He wrecked team chemistry as he was Danny's choice and Norv was forced to play him. He's like a stripper, he may look amazing but there's no way you can really live with him (apologies to those who date strippers). B.) He was replaced by Tony Banks, who himself was fresh off being cut by the Cowboys. And I applauded when they made this move, because while our pass protection was about as solid as hot jello George made no attempt to even pretend that he was going to stand in there. C.) I remain convinced that the 2000 Skins could have won the Super Bowl, they were just snakebit by Danny's questionable pickup of George. They were fresh off the NFC East title, had one of the better offenses in the league and a promising defense with Ray Rhodes aboard. D.) George led the Raiders to the playoffs and they had the #1 offense and no backup in sight and they let him go without so much as a thought. Then we slide in, and instead of paying Brad Johnson very reasonable money we sign George to make more than the guy who led us to the playoffs. Great, but it's the Danny way.
Does it show that I'm a little upset about that season?
