Question about 2000-2001 QB Situation here

[SolidSnake84]

I was thinking about Donovan McNabb over the weekend, particularly how we got him through trade, and all the hoopla that went with him, fan expectations, etc, and i remember thinking that i might have been one of the few people here who knew that McNabb was shot and was only gonna fail here in the burgandy and gold.

Was Jeff George in 2000/2001 the only other high profile QB that we went after since Snyder has owned the team? George was a big name, he had some success, etc, and it seemed like he could be the QB answer for a few seasons. I read articles about when he was signed back then and it seemed like him and the McNabb situation was almost the same.

Is there anyone on the board who remembers Jeff George's time here? Was the fans excited? Did he bring hope to the team like McNabb did? What was it like with George. From what i could read, it seemed like George played pretty good for us in 2000, but when we got a new coach/offense, he couldn't adapt and really struggled. Again he reminded me of McNabb there.
