Jeff George's signing actually was relatively low profile due to the fact that it was in Danny's infamous 2000 fantasy football draft. So many old, big name guys were signed that George's signing wasn't publicly that big a deal as I recall. I thought he was a high priced backup till I learned that Danny supposedly sought Sonny Jurgenson's advice & the latter suggested George would be a better qb than Johnson.

George may have been the straw that broke the camel's back & led us to an 8-8 year w/a huge payroll. What if he was never signed & Johnson was given confidence as starter? Maybe that 2000 season would've lived up to the hype.
