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.

    • LOL! We have ourselves a funny one over here.  
    • That’s why I love Jake and always will.  He was so fuging gritty and definitely was a gunslinger.  Like a not-quite-poor-man’s Brett Favre.  Like an economy version lol.  He was damn good.  Yeah, he’d throw a pick here or there, but more often than not, I trusted Jake.  He’d make some throws that really made you think, “damn, he’s even better than I thought.”  I loved that he loved to gamble, but more importantly, he gave his guys a fuging chance to make a play.  When people have been criticizing Tet for drops, it pisses me off, because they say it like these are some gimmes that he’s dropping.  but, at about 6’5”, if your whole body is moving one way and you have to stop or slow down to come back to a ball thrown behind you, or low, that poo is not easy.  Bryce isn’t really giving him a chance, and I can see why he’s dropping them.  Versus if you look at this highlight reel of Moose: at about halfway through is when Jake stepped in.  The passes he was throwing are CRAZY.  There’s multiple passes in there where he is throwing across his body while running the opposite way - and he still had the strength to get it on target.  Then there’s the throws where he lasers it in a spot only the receiver could get it - seam routes, out routes, over the top. The longer you watch, the more obvious it is that so many of these (what should be basic) throws are completely absent from our offense with Bryce.  There was a play today where he started to scramble, kept looking, looking, looking, then just threw it into the ground near the receiver.  Let them make a fuging play.  His best pass of the day?  The long one to Tet?  If you re-watch it. About 10-15 yards further downfield, XL smoked his man on a post route.  You get maybe 3 chances at that a game usually, and when you don’t even attempt it when it’s there?  That poo is so demoralizing.  I can’t wait for Bryce’s time here to be fuging over.  If they cut him tomorrow I would feel free.  I would feel like I just won the fuging powerball.  If they signed Heineke, Perkins, White, PJ Walker, or Hooker to start the rest of the year, I would be fuging ecstatic like we just trotted Cam out for the first time.  That how fuging life-sucking Bryce is as the QB.
    • Aren't they about the same size too? Why TF are teams all of sudden drafting these small ass QBs that have an EXTREMELY low hit rate at an already extremely low hit rate position?
