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.

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.

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.

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. |

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.
