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.

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.   
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
