Unveiling The Forgotten Brilliance Of Dave Krieg

A mini biography of Dave Krieg who went undrafted in 1980 from Milton College, which no longer exists, then went on to become an entertaining quarterback with his unique style of play and the types of throws he made. I greatly appreciate your interest in this 90s NFL video. Thank you so much and enjoy this sports history documentation.

If he played in Today’s NFL. He would be a Super star.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Very interesting opinion. Krieg in today's NFL would be awesome. He would have been enjoyable to watch no matter what era. With many of today's QBs playing "out of structure", perhaps Krieg would have fit in. Krieg would be my favorite QB if he played in today's NFL. Thanks again.

[@michaelhagler7381]

Seahawks fan since day one. Dave Krieg had his bad days and his good days. When he was off, it could be awful. When he was on, he was as good as anyone.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

I think that's a great way to put it. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.

[@jimturkowski8872]

Awesome. David Krieg was a phenomenal NFL QB. 98 wins, 261 TD passes, 13 rushing TD, and a mind blowing 3 pass receptions. David was a relief pitcher for the Milton College Wildcats baseball team. Hence, the best QB ever to throw with those crazy arm angles with pinpoint accuracy!!! Great player and and a true HOF snub...

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for the comment. I enjoyed reading it. I did not know he was also a pitcher in college. Thanks for mentioning that. Thanks for watching the video and thanks for the comment.

[@nigelkhan9278]

Dave Krieg and Neil Lomax were so criminally underrated. These QBs were tough as nails and great leaders. Dave Krieg to Steve Largent and Neil Lomax to Roy Green.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Neil Lomax, what a name. He was a little before my time but him and Warren Moon were the first two football cards I remember having. But I hear great things about Neil Lomax and enjoyed seeing some of his highlights. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.

[@pouncingpantherpucks2779]

Dave Krieg was amazing man. I’m only 21 but NFL Films introduced me to him and if you look at his numbers they’re impressive. The reason why he’s forgotten is because he played in a market that isn’t like NY. Seattle rarely gets talked about. And lots of his best years were when Dan Marino, Joe Montana, etc. You always have those guys that take lots of spotlight from the media which leaves other talented guys, overlooked.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

What's going on pouncingpantherpucks2779. How about them Panthers. I wanted them to win very much. That was awesome when they beat the Bruins. I can't stand when people (especially talking heads) talk about big market, small market, etc... It drives me crazy. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.

[@eijiroinouye4115]

They say he was only good at certain pass plays and that he needed a good running game but he still has good stats. Todd Christensen said he was good.

[@00BillyTorontoBill]

Watched religiously in the 80's.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for the comment and watching the video.

[@Lonewolf026]

I remember him in 94 with the lions. Can't wait for more videos

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much. I'm excited to put out more videos. That '94 season, Detroit was tough coming down the stretch. Recently, Scott Mitchell was in the news basically saying he is sick for all of the blame for DET not winning, but I wonder how many Lions fans wanted Krieg back after the 1994 season. But to be fair, Mitchell was terrific in 1995, except in the playoffs. Thanks again.

[@jasongCLJ]

And during those games played for Detroit .. he had a 101.7 QB rating . Also played very well for KC actually .. which people dont delve into much , but look at the numbers. Also ofcourse 3 pro bowl seasons with Seattle , etc

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video. Have a great holiday season. With the exception of Arizona, I thought DK played well wherever he went. Thanks for mentioning that stat with DET.

[@jasongCLJ]

@@90sSportsNostalgia You too have a good season . ( : and thanks sO much ⌛✝️🙏🏽

[@1merax7]

Agreed. He was an awesome qb and always underated

My favorite seahawks qb

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Krieg was awesome. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.

[@drew8703]

So many solid QBs in 90s that were shoved out because of the quest for the prototypical QB that would never pan out;, or, because the position was brutal and injuries were impossible to avoid. Jeff Hostetler comes to mind; Ken O'Brien, Steven Gerrard. I specifically remember hearing a football analyst say that the most important position in the National Football League was the backup quarterback. It was actually true -- the starter was always going to be out for at least a couple game stretch, or even knocked out in the playoffs, and there were backup QBs who actually could step in and win games, big time playoff games on the road.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for the comment and watching the video.

[@bobbynesbitt1863]

My favorite Seahawks QB

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

He was fun to watch. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.

[@astrostar49]

This was such an awesome video. Krieg definitely was an underrated gem having come out of Milton College. Really helped the Seahawks become competitive with Chuck Knox. And I loved his streetball way of playing the game, looking really scrappy in the pocket. Underrated arm too. I think bouncing from team to team in the 90s along with the fumbling issues kind of tainted his career. If he was playing today he'd be a quality QB for some squad in the league.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for the comment. And once again apologize for I think this is the second comment of yours that I replied to late. But I like your description of "streetball way of playing the game" - I wish I could have thought of that term and mentioned it in the video. But yes, I also thought an underrated arm. I remember he had some beautiful bombs. Thanks again. I'm so glad you liked the video. It means a lot to me. Enjoy the rest of 2023.

[@georgesanders1132]

The first QB of my favorite team growing up. Yeah, Krieg was awesome. It wasn’t until we got Hasselbeck that we had good play at that position.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for the comment and thanks for watching the video. I miss the Seahawks jerseys from the '90s. They were immaculate. I kind of liked Jon Kitna, but I understand your point of view from Krieg to Hasselbeck. Thank you so much once again. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

[@taqiyyaconcarne6908]

Great vid. Besides the contortions and unique throwing angles, kreig had a lightening quick release and a cannon. Kreig and largent was as exciting to watch as Montana to Rice. But maybe I'm just biased up here in the PNW.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video. I wish I had more of an opportunity to watch the Krieg - Largent connection. Perhaps you're not bias, those highlights of 17 to 80 are awesome. I miss those uniforms. Absolutely beautiful. Enjoy life in the PNW. Thanks again.

[@eijiroinouye4115]

He accomplished more than the other Seahawks quarterbacks of the era. He could still make the Hall of Fame

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video. Dave Krieg was awesome. Thanks again.

You're the best. Thank you so much. Right back at you - Have a nice holiday.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Excellent video. Krieg deserves to be remembered & so do those cool Seahawks unis. I watched Curt Warner play on grass at Penn State. I walked down to stand close to the field on the way to my nose bleed seats when Warner broke off a 40 plus yard run up the sideline & he was finally tackled in front of me. The DBs who finally caught him paid the price & got up much slower than Warner. Dave Krieg is one of those guys who took heat when he replaced Jim Zorn but he earned Steve Largent’s respect. Also, Jim McMahon also wore gloves. Krieg was better without gloves than Kenny Pickett might ever be with gloves. 😂Finally, I remember Krieg as taking like 7 sacks from Derrick Thomas only to barely get off a pass to avoid the the 8th sack. It was the game winning TD.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you for liking the video. It means a lot to me. Thank you. Also, I really enjoyed reading your comment. I like the Curt Warner story. Originally, I did write about DK taking over for Jim Zorn as I understood from some NFL Films how popular Zorn was. But I decided to leave it out because I wasn't old enough to experience that situation but I'm so glad you commented about that situation. Thanks for that. Lastly, you got me, I forgot all about Jim McMahon wearing gloves. Thanks for mentioning that. Lastly, I think those original SEA uniforms are so beautiful. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and take care.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

@@90sSportsNostalgia You handled everything perfectly. You told a story that’s not out there as prevalent as the story of the QB controversy.

[@Fireyninjadog]

When kreig and knox left seattle, the whole team became irrelevant, except in 1992, for all the wrong reasons. They wouldn't do anything until Mike holmgren arrived. Still have no idea why he isn't in the Hall of Fame

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video. I wish I would've been old enough to see Krieg and Knox really do damage in the mid-80s. Thanks again.

[@steelcurtain187]

Happy to see a new video man. Great job and merry Christmas my friend

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Enjoy the rest of your 2023.

He was a good QB.

[@whatsyurprob158]

"Mud-Bone" = D.K. If you claim to be a 12, you aren't until you know that 😊 That said, HOT & COLD, #17 epitomized INCONSISTENCY in every season he played in Seattle except for maybe, 1984, his best year by far. The thing about him, when he was HOT, I don't care who was playing, you weren't gonna beat him, PERIOD!!! Sacked constantly, and fumbling the ball away as if it were greased piglet, Mudbone knew how to ASSAULT his opponents in a make or break fashion, the former usually outweighing the latter. Start the game, and by the end of the first 3rd down, you knew if you were going to win or not >

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for the comment. I really enjoyed reading it. I didn't get a chance to see him in his prime with Seattle but I really like how you broke it all down. I think an item I should have mentioned is when Dave Krieg got hot, it was awesome even after his Seattle days. Thank you once again for your comment. I really enjoyed reading it.

[@eijiroinouye4115]

The only reason why Tom Flores should have released Dave Krieg in 1992 was if the Seahawks drafted Brett Favre. Even then Favre would have started out as a backup.
