Against bringing in a Brian Griese and you use the excuses:

1. Hes a headcase
2. Shoulder injury
3. Likes to drink alcohol

Yet most of you wanted to keep Boston who could be considered

1. A headcase
2. An injury risk(knee)
3. Likes cocain and marijuana


This really perplexes me??

Because Brian Griese's white, duh. So by definition he can't be a party animal headcase.

(note intense sarcasm)

If the Cardinals sign Griese without any clauses protecting themselves from his off-field behavior, they will be the biggest hypocrites alive.

I've remained consistent in my belief that they would both benefit this team--but I also don't think we need both to be successful. Now that Boston is gone, it becomes imperative in my estimation that we sign Griese in order to be even remotely competitive next year.

I agree but the fact that some wanted Boston but give these reasons for not going after Griese are being hypocrites.

Everyone in the league knows Griese is a drunk (and a violent one at that, he sure ends up in fights a lot) but I haven't heard one peep in the media regarding his "off field problems" like they always mention with Boston.

It'll be reeeeeal interesting to see the Cards address that if they try to sign him.

Actually, he seems to be a quiet drunk, not a violent one. Living in Denver I'm sure I would have heard about fights. It was speculated that last offseason he got popped by a teammate, but it wasn't ever really even implied that it was a fight--more of a Greise mouthed off and got socked for it (and even that is speculation).

One big diffrence, Beer is legal and this assumes he is a drunk as opposed to just liking beer.

I have been more than marginaly inhebriated on occasions

LOL thats funny Ed but I can't see Graves being guilty of that given his race.

I will give you that if Griese gets a contract void of such protections then I will officially resign my new post as Cardinals Management Defender.

I really would rather not be in that spot anyway given past history it's a uphill climb on greaseback mountain.

Hmmm...coincidence or conspiracy?

Brian Griese takes over for "the legendary" John Elway and there's a ton of pressure on him to keep the team at a high level.

Elway slides into retirement and starts pushing Coors in television commercials.

Griese develops a drinking problem.

Elway's "legend" status is unthreatened.

:D
