So Rich Gannon was talking about his days in KC
 

on his Sirius/XM show with Adam Shine and although I didn't catch the entire segment I did hear him say that he would spend hours as the back-up watching film etc. and Grbac would not even show up and he (Gannon) knew that if Marty ever regretted anything it was not making Grbac be accountable for that.

Okay maybe not current but just found it interesting and thought it was worth sharing.If anyone caught the complete segment maybe you could fill in the gaps of what prompted the comment etc.

Its a little relevant considering Quinn is about to step in as the next Gannon

Gannon sucked Cassel off the whole off season **** him

The main difference is that on his best day Cassel is to Grbac what Grbac is to Montana.

well .. its a process .. film study too .....

Now wouldn't that be the shit,turn the season around and make the play-offs only to be benched in the last game of the season because the starter is all better now.

****ing depressing.

Did he mention a crazy stalker lady?

I'd prefer to leave that last part out.

There can't be any chance that would ever repeat itself. Clark would fire everybody before that went down again.

This isn't surprising at all. Grbac, while physically gifted, never truly loved football. That was never more evident than his stint in Baltimore.

In all honesty, I think the guy only played football because it made his father happy.

Oh well, those days are long gone and I hope he's happy today.

Dammit, Carl!! :cuss:

'Grbac is now an assistant quarterbacks coach for Saint Ignatius High School in Cleveland, Ohio.'

Assistant? Who is the head QB coach? Steve Bono?

LMAO

What's often forgotten is that Gannon put up fairly pedestrian numbers during the 1997 season, I think the major difference was that, unlike Grbac, he wasn't a freaking quitter.

LMAO

I saw this semi-recent clip of Grbac running some sort of youth football camp.... good God he looks like Goldberg these days. :)

Grbac didn't have time for film study. As the sexiest man alive, he was busy ****ing every woman in Kansas City.

Holy ****.

Why do I get the feeling you are going to have some serious fun with this.

'chagrin' means embarassing. I suppose that is honesty in advertising.

Elvis......Grbac

I have a friend who never officially had a favorite NFL team to root for. He always just watched NCAA. Then he got into fantasy football and wanted a team to root for and was open for suggestions. I successfully turned him in to a Chiefs fan. Before I gave my "spleel" about the Chiefs, he said there was absolutely no way he could get into a team that has always come off to him as so boring. I informed him of some of the non-boring shit about the franchise and the whole Elvis Grbac: People Magazine's Sexiest Athlete (because they had him confused with Rich Gannon) was what officially sold him. He thought it was one of the funniest stories he'd ever heard and it was and still is hilarious to this day, IMO. He used to be a huge Cassel apologist, which made me pissed off that I pushed the Chiefs on him, but finally....after the Chargers game, he decided that Cassel is horrible. That took way too freaking long. At first I was like, "YES, a CHIEFS fan (there aren't an abundance of them in my area) Finally someone who I can talk Chiefs football with." Then when he wouldn't hop off the Cassel-wagon, I was like, "UGH, I brought more stupidity to the fanbase and now I refuse to talk to this dude about Chiefs football."

lol

Except that the People article was a mistake. They liked the name Elvis Grbac but thought they were getting Rich Gannon. True story.

I don't...

;)

He's teaching all those youngsters that you can't throw it and catch it, unless your gay i guess.

This is the first I had heard of this. I remember saying at the time, WTF? Grbac?

Is this just a CP urban myth or the truth? Link please....

It's true. I've been studying all night and am too tired to link it, but it is true...

Marty cost the QUEEEFS an AFC Championship game appearence and probably SB by sitting Gannon over Grbac.

Yes it still pisses me off.

Thats just the usual Quarterback Fraternity BS, imo.

Warner was doing the same thing, but they know better.

Man, I do NOT need to relive the Grbac years.

Gannon was a dink and dunker with some mobility, he was probably the biggest system-made QB ever in Oakland. I don't think anyone felt like he was going to beat them with his arm. His MVP might have been statistically justified and he might have represented a highwater mark for QBing in Oakland for decades, but that is a low standard.

This was a case of "if you think you have two QBs you really have none"

Irish Jayhawk with the quote on that article. It even includes a Carl reference.

Stats and Ability be damned, Grbac was anti-clutch, a quitter, and possessed no fire for the game.

Gannon, on the other hand, lacked the physical capabilities of traditional star quarterbacks, but almost always possessed an ability to come through when it mattered most.

Grbac should not have been starting but Gannon is the most overrated QB ever.

Yeah, he was SO clutch in 1998.

He started 10 games and they SUCKED.

His stats are nearly identical to Grbac. Here are their stats with Grbac first. Completions 57-56%. TD% 3.5-4.0. INT% 1.9-2.3. YPA 6.2-6.5. Rate 79.1-79.8. Grbac was throwing the ball more.

Still have that issue of SI....

Shit i just realized that was the wrong SI cover. oh well.

Chiefs suck

GAWD I ****ING HATED THAT

The Chiefs went 5-5 with Gannon started in 98.

2-4 with sir Elvis.

Brilliant decision making by Carl to keep Elvis from those results alone.

Salt meet wound

Of course Gannon looks good compared to Elvis.

Compare him to a REAL QB and he looks mediocre.

Because he was.

The myth of Gannon amongst Chief fans is amazing.

The issue isn't that Gannon was Mr. Amazing, it's that Grbac had absolutely no business starting over him.

That's why people say silly shit like "if Marty started Gannon, we go to the SB" right?

I will never forgive Marty for the "you can't lose a job due to injury" policy. I still get sick thinking of that playoff game. We were on a roll. We beat SF 49 to 0 and destroyed Oak the following week. That was our year. Still breaks my heart. Damn... Last Super Bowl contender we had was 97.

We don't lose to Denver. that good enough?

Had Gannon played that Playoff game vs Denver, we win.

Gannon was not great, but the Chiefs were winning.

Starting a guy with minimal playing time heading into the post-season is borderline reeruned.

They beat the hell out of everybody else. They beat us by 4, and it took a reeruned coach, a quitter QB, several cans of Pam, and two massively blown calls by the ref$ to pull it off.

And the failure of the worst 2 minute drill ever run in playoff history.

Bellichek would like a word with you.

Yes, but Gannon put up those numbers in an offense that was not tailored to him, right? The difference when he got the the Raiders is that Gruden crafted his offense AROUND Gannon. Rich likely would have been a very effective QB here, or anywhere, where the emphasis on the offense was built around his strengths and not his weaknesses.

We would have won that game if there wasn't a couple of TERRIBLE phantom calls, with or without Gannon.

Try again.

The Chiefs were 7-2 with Grbac, 5-1 with Gannon. Our 2 worst offensive performances of the season were both with Gannon at QB.

The idea that he had ANYTHING to do with that season is a fallacy.

Any QB could have done what he did. Hell, ELVIS GRBAC did it and he sucked according to everyone here.

Bullshit.

Gruden ran the SAME offense in Tampa, with Brad Johnson, and won a Super Bowl.

Gannon FIT Gruden's offense, Gruden didn't tailor anything for Rich.

Bullshit.

Wasnt Paul Hackett still the Chiefs OC in 97? He basically ran the same offense as Gruden or very similiar didnt he?

I just think Gruden liked to the throw the ball alot more than Marty did, and the Raiders had Tim Brown and Jerry Rice, so of course they played to their strengths at the time.

Better to leave Richie alone before she threatens to sue.

As I recall Grbac started the last regular season game against the Saints at Arrowhead in a cold drizzle and absolutely sucked.That alone should have been all the warning Peterson needed.Yes,I said Peterson,I still think Grbac getting his job back was Carl's ultimate call based on a report I remember hearing by Gretz and then later comments made by Marty himself when he was then working for ESPN on NFL Live.
