[ QUOTE ]
Career QB rating of 84.5, 104-80 TD-to-INT ratio, 204.5 yards per game average, 63.0% completion percentage
What exactly is so bad about him?
Heres a few QBs simlilar to him for a comparison:
Drew Brees: 80.0 QB rating, 107-71 TD/INT, 223.6 yards per game.
Steve McNair: 83.2 QB rating, 173-116 TD/INT, 194.9 yards per game
Phil Simms: 78.5 QB rating, 199-157 TD/INT, 204.0 yards per game
Troy Aikman: 81.6 QB rating, 165-141 TD/INT, 199.6 yards per game
Matt Hasselbeck: 85.5 QB rating, 119-74 TD/INT, 156.7 yards per game(note: Matt's ypg is unfairly brought down due to a lot of spot duty though)

Brian Griese is terrible. Being a Dolphins fan, he ruined their 2003 season by himself. Fiedler got hurt and Griese started against a bad SD team and lit them up 20-29, 192 yards, 3 td. Wow this guy is good. Next game against Indy, takes 5 sacks, loses 2 fumbles but still passes effectively 18-29, 231 yards, 1 td, 0 int. Next game against Tennessee, takes 4 sacks, loses 2 fumbles, throws 3 int, 0td and is 15-27 for 131 yards. Next game against Baltimore, goes 13-32 for 126 yards and the Dolphins win 9-6. Next game against Washington, throws 2 int by half and gets replaced by Jay Fiedler.
