BOB GRIESE (THE QUARTERBACK WORE GLASSES) TRIBUTE & Highlights

Bob Griese (quarterback) led the Dolphins to three consecutive Super Bowl appearances, including two Super Bowl victories in VII and VIII.
In 1977 Griese began to wear eyeglasses on the field and led the NFL in touchdown passes. Griese was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1984 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990.

My brother who knows nothing about football works for Bell South. He called me one day and asked me if I knew anything about a guy named “Grise” or “Grease”, lol. I said Bob Griese? He said that ya, he guessed so because “I’m at this house fixing their phone line and there are all of these football trophies and awards. True story.

I always knew Griese had a big arm, but I didn't realize he was as good a scrambler as he showed in those early clips. I think Griese gets underrated today because he was mostly content to just hand the ball off during the Fins heyday (when they had one of the best rushing attacks in history). But when he needed to carry the team in the late '70s, he proved he could throw with the best of them.

Bob Griese was surgically precise when it came to dissecting defenses. He knew what plays to call and when to call them.

[@egeo03]

Griese did so many things well that he made QBing look easy.

[@DonCohen2649]

Better than Marino who wasn't a clutch QB. Compare their post season records. Not even close.

[@lendrury2771]

He's one of my football heroes I've heard detractors say that Bob shouldn't be in the hall of fame because his stats aren't eye popping Which is ridiculous Its not all about stats Bob was a great game manager and the dolphins were a run oriented team in those days so Bob wasn't asked to rack up big numbers but this man was a professor on a football field and a true champion

[@stevefowler2112]

Hard to believe how graceful Paul Warfield was...in my mind, though he played on running teams, he might still be the most talented WR ever.

[@dolphingoosby7195]

Best I ever saw.

[@lendrury2771]

I agree with your Paul Warfield statement He was Jerry Rice before Jerry Rice If he played in today's wide open game his numbers would be huge Paul was graceful yet still tough as nails

[@4thquarter214]

The music is amazing! Lol

[@peacebestill2653]

Dude was nice

[@Slimjim260]

Bob was clutch! Enjoyed thanks! Steeler game was the best!!!!

[@kevinastorino9799]

People are gonna hate me but… Miami never needed the next Marino. What did that get us? A Super Bowl appearance and a ton of records. What Miami needs and I believe has is the next Bob Griese. Enter Tua.

[@genarobarron1259]

Yaaayy , that's a nice tribute .

[@kelvinkloud]

russell wilson reminds me a lot of griese's form, composure, smarts, toughness and talent.

[@jjb1908]

People have said that he should not be in the Hall Of Fame. If you ask me, he's more deserving of being in the Hall than both Joe Namath and Ken Stabler. Bob Griese finished with better numbers than both Broadway Joe and Snake, whom both finished with negative touchdown-intercption numbers. Even though Griese is known for just handing the ball off, I feel like he was a lot better at throwing the ball than people give him credit for. All this coming from a Saints fan

[@coolj5457]

Why’s he so majestic 😭

[@PlylerNews]

Nobody understands that this is the only quarterback to ever give Miami a Super Bowl. Not only 1 but back to back.

[@PlylerNews]

Also, he’s the only qb to lead a team to an undefeated season, in my eyes, he is one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever touch a football field. And the fact that they don’t put him up there with the greats is disgusting.

[@Slimjim260]

He was in Miami before Shula? Wasn’t he?

[@randycantu3214]

They have Eli elite over Bob. Wtf

[@jimwoodle2626]

Great tribute. Thanks!

[@bjchit]

That one clip against the Bengals I legit cant tell if he knew the guy was behind him or not.

[@scarletmacaw]

That little weasel would always scramble his way out of disastrous situations. Every time I would go to the Orange Bowl and watch him scramble away from the defense it would drive me crazy. Couldn't stand the Dolphins but Griese could scramble every bit as good as Tarkenton or Staubach, take my word for it.
