Jeff George, go and brush your shoulders off
 

The Oakland Raiders are so worried about Aaron Brooks as their QB that they signed Jeff George (38) to be put on their roster. He has not played in an NFL game since 2001.

Personally, I am speechless. Maybe Doug Flutie can come out of retirement too.

This move makes zero sense.

"Did you hear the Raiders signed Jeff George?" is a straightline for "What? Ryan Leaf/Marc Wilson/etc wasn't available?" Weekend at Al's.

signing brooks and not drafting Leinart was beyond terrible, although Al Davis is old and Brooks is good for 1 awesome performance in 5 (the other 4 being terrible.)

I am just happy as a Tecmo Super Bowl fan that there are now 3 players on NFL rosters who were featured in the legendary game.

I am sure JoA knows the other two.

i saw this on the espn ticker at the bottom of the screen during the a's/sox game and it took me a while to register who jeff george was and then i was like "what the [censored]? didn't he retire like 5 years ago?"

if the raiders think this is going to help their team, they are in a lot of trouble...

I never saw Jeff George's last game, but oh boy, did I hear about it.

I forget the teams, but somebody was blitzing the hell out of George, and he was getting hammered every play. His face was 100% fear. Bill Simmons still makes references to the Jeff George Face. He kept dropping snaps because he was on his heels, pulling away from the center before getting the ball. He was scared poop-less.

He was summarily benched, cut, and retired, all within a week, pretty much. Get the fork, he was D-U-N.

And this was 100 years ago.
