Jeff George was a shitty NFL quarterback. Everybody saw it. He sucked. But KC Star columnist and noted bloviator Jason Whitlock happens to know him personally, which means George just didn’t get a fair shake. Anyway, this has got to be the fifth or sixth time Whitlock’s written this column:

Coach Belichick, I know the game. It’s a gift from the football gods… You need Jeff George. [...]

Yes, I know Jeff George hasn’t thrown a pass in an actual NFL game since 2001 and hasn’t been on a roster since Lovie Smith and the Bears let him go at the end of the 2005 season…

You realize even at age 40 and having lived in football exile for three years, Jeff George still has one of the five best arms in the game? Oh, he can still wing it with the best of them. He’s in great shape. He’s ready to go right now.

Just for good measure, he also recommended against starting Tom Brady last week because “he might suffer an injury to his leg or knee. I told you that Matt Cassel was good enough to beat the Chiefs.”  And that was after he gave a history of his life about how much he knows about football.

Jason Whitlock is a nice guy.  I applaud his honesty on a lot of subjects.  But I think I speak for everyone when I say, “Shut up, Jason.  Shut up and kiss him already.”
