 I get sooooooooooooo tired of hearing everyone talk about Dave Krieg's fumble "record" and or his mistakes! Dave is a Seahawks Ring-of-Honor quarterback and a potential candidate for the NFL Hall of Fame! The only reason his "negative" numbers are so high is because he played in the NFL a LONG time!! I challenge you to compare other quarterbacks' with Dave's longetivity to Dave to see how the numbers stack up! Send me the stats and I'll post them here. Incidentally, although Dave Krieg gets "credited" with the most fumbles in the NFL, you may be interested to know that is not correct! And if it were, he'd rank up there in good company! NFL.com reports:
161 Warren Moon, Houston, 1984-1993; Minnesota, 1994-96; Seattle, 1997-98; Kansas City, 1999-2000 153 Dave Krieg, Seattle, 1980-1991; Kansas City, 1992-93; Detroit, 1994; Arizona, 1995; Chicago, 1996; Tennessee, 1997-98 137 John Elway, Denver, 1983-1998 In the meantime, for those of you who feel you must bemoan his career, here's the ammo you're looking for. Have fun, big meanie! :-)
