I think what jetsucksr is trying to say is this:
Everyone gives Jay credit for how well he played before his injury. No one wants to remember how average to poor he played after he returned.
No one here feels like Jay has put together one consistent year. He has never performed over the course of a year better than average.
Until he does there will be the detractors out there and understandably so.
I am a detractor but I feel better knowing that Griese is in camp. Not because he willl be the answer but because Jay has always played better when he is competing. So I think Griese will keep him honest.
Another factor is Jay's health. His "gutsy" play causes him to take a whole lot of punishment. He just doesn't have the physique for it.
The one thing that scares me about Jay is you never know when he isn't going to show up. It seems like when its crunch time (Minny, NE, Playoffs previous years) he just doesn't show up. He doesn't always hurts us, he just doesn't make the plays we need to win. I have noticed that winnning QBs do that. The Favres, Elways, Marinos, etc. MAKE plays when the season is on t he line. If Jay can do that this year, he will win fans over. He will get more than his share of chances with teams stacking the defenses against the run.
If Jay has the year he should this year, I will be the first one on here singing his praises and proclaiming how wrong I was. It will be the tastiest crow I ever ate.
