You know no one ever expected him to have a successful 19 year career in the NFL!
You know how exciting it was to see the Krieg to Largent touchdowns, and none of us
will ever forget the Krieg to Skansi game-winning TOUCHDOWN in Kansas City!!!! I get goosebumps just thinking about it!!

Thanks to all of you who clicked on this ballot, printed it off, signed it and sent it to the Seahawks! Thanks for your letters telling me how much you loved Dave Krieg! Thanks for supporting him and for keeping the memories alive!
Now that our job is done, we could always drop the 'hawks a line to say thanks for listening to the fans! Let's make sure that the Seahawks' front office know how much we love and respect Dave Krieg and appreciate this gesture.
