Oh and BTW, i watched that dude workout last summer. He still has a rifle for an arm. He flicked it 60 yards or more like it was cake. He still makes all the throws. Why that guy isn't even a backup somewhere i can't understand....

First of all, George was in OAK and MIN before coming here and he played pretty well at Minnesota before we signed him, however, he never played particularly well for the Redskins. In Oakland he had one very good year, but then I'm guessing he was benched the next season after 8 games because his numbers looked horrible, then he became the starter in MIN, played well and parlayed that into a contract with the Skins.

In his first season he played in 6 games, started 5, went 1-4 and threw 7 TDs to 6 INTs. Those are Patrick Ramsey numbers from a 33 year old, why this team (Dan Snyder) thought he was a better QB than Brad Johnson, I'll never know.

I can't even explain how happy I was when Marty released him, that guy was not good enough to have the attitude he did.

I couldn't stand George. The way I feel about AH now reminds me of how I felt with George. I just wanted the guy off the team and when Marty cut him loose it was a huge relief.
