For those that remember, what was your impression of Jeff George?
George probably had the most beautiful and strongest throwing action and arm I’ve ever seen. Many times the flick of the wrist he added to his passes gave it that little extra. Simply no pass the guy couldn’t make. He had a cannon for an arm but could also put a nice touch on the short pass. As far as the passes and throwing motion he was honestly the best I’ve ever seen.
Now, his problem was the he didn’t give a rip about the game. He got by on athletic talent and never developed any need to pay attention or care. The words jerk, lazy and coach killer are frequently used to describe him. I remember watching him just stand there after throwing interceptions or sometimes even getting out of the way. It was obvious he didn’t care. Big issue also was that nothing was ever his fault. The guy would go to interviews and blame everyone but himself. Not even so much as a hint of accountability.
