San Jose's Quarterback Is Out
The SaberCats lose Grieb for the rest of the season.

Not only did San Jose lose to the Arizona Rattlers 59-52, but they also lost their starting quarterback Mark Grieb late in the third quarter. Suffering a broken collarbone after being hit by Rattlers lineman Stacy Evans, Grieb will be out for the entire postseason.

Having an outstanding season, Grieb passed 3346 yards and 70 touchdowns with only five interceptions with hopes that dessert would be an ArenaBowl championship.

One question to ponder is why Grieb was in the game that long. Already having the home field advantage throughout the playoffs, they evidently wanted to finish the season undefeated but SaberCats coach Darren Arbet should not have given Grieb that much playing time.

All of San Jose's hopes for an ArenaBowl championship rest with backup quarterback John Dutton.

Dutton will get a game of seasoning against the Carolina Cobras this week then has two weeks to prepare for the SaberCats' playoff run.
