Yeah, between him and Biakabituka (not looking it up I know it's misspelled) it was hell on a message board lol.

Biakabutuka was easy because it's spelled how you say it. I've also had a hard time with Beuerlein. That many silent e's should be illegal.

That 1999 season Beurlin mighta been the 2 best QB in the league behind K. Warner.  Wonder how different history would have been if we had not cut him.

Wait, you mean you didn't love the Rodney Peete era?

We might have only lost 12 games, because we had about a half-dozen games that were decided within a touchdown and anyone but Weinke could have done better. That being said, virtually every weapon he used in 1999 and 2000 was basically gone. Wesley Walls wasn't himself, Muhsin Muhammad (coming off a league-learning 102-catch year) was injured the last part of the year, and Patrick Jeffers was a really sad shell of 1999. In the running game, Fred Lane was dead and Biakabutuka was injured the whole year. On top of that, Steve Smith wouldn't ever be considered for playing time under Seifert (both due to size and how useful he was as a returner) and the line was awful. Even if somehow manage to overcome all of that, the defense was terrible. Beurelein was good, but not good enough to overcome all that crap.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

    • Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
