Hey Mike-My post wasn’t biased one way or another. I still think that Griese was a fantastic backup, who could fill in for a solid starter for a game or two, but wouldn’t want to rely on him to take my team to the playoffs. I like seeing everyone’s opinions, including yours, but I don’t think anyone is an idiot for having the opinion that they do.

Idiots. Griese was the best QB we had. You want to know why Griese threw those interceptions? On defense and offense, the 2007 team was absolutely pathetic. Turner made Grise throw 40-50 times a game which is way more than any team, especially one that “gets off the bus running” should be throwing. He tried to win games on his arm alone; sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing. You may also want to watch the footage on the first Detroit game and you’ll see Berrian was responsible for two interceptions. Rex was never made to throw as much as Griese was. Look it up.

I second that notion. While Griese did lead key drives that led to wins in Green Bay and Philly, people would have to be honest and say that Griese was just as hot and cold as Grossman was. Between the two Detroit games Griese threw 7 Ints alone. As far as getting a 3rd string quarterback now, spending a mid round draft pick seems to be the best scenario.

I would like to think his four int game against DET had more to do with the falling out… I don’t doubt they weren’t happy with his helmet comments, but I think that sealed the deal more than anything.
