Absolutely loved watching Krieg at QB back in the 80s. Loved his style, assertiveness, and ability to make plays. He made you want to root for him. Was always ecstatic when Seattle won largely because Krieg had a good day delivering the football, and always felt genuinely bummed for him in games where he and his team valiantly gave it everything they had but lost.
I loved Dave Krieg as a person and by all accounts, he was a great teammate and a fierce competitor. But he was
torturous to watch. He was a turnover machine, and it always came at the worst possible moments. I once saw him fumble when there wasn't a defender within 5 yards from him and he was nearly standing still.
Years later, I heard that he unusually small hands, pixie hands.
I get that but he would have 2-4 games looking like a HOF QB
but then have 1-2 looking horrible.
I loved Krieg after having to watch Zorn..There is a QB that when I was
8 I wanted to break the tv and it was Zorn.
He was the TO machine who kept us from making any playoffs.
No it wasn't all his fault but it never is when it comes to QB.
Krieg was good enough to get us to the SB but football was
very tough in those days.
