But the truth of the matter is you'll argue about something you didn't see or hear. Like a gossip columnist, you are taking pieces of the story and running with them, ignoring fans like myself who were at the game. I've also posted about Carolina TV color guy and former quarterback Steve Beuerlein raving about his decision making as the game wore on. I have it Tivoed. Would you like me to mail you a copy?
Because you like stats to back up your arguements, here are Mr. Beuerlein's credentials:
Beuerlein holds many Panthers passing records. These include single-season records, all set in 1999, for passing yards (4,436), touchdowns (36), attempts (571), and completions (343).
He holds the top three single-game passing yard totals in team history (373, 368, and 364.) His 5 touchdown passes in the last week of the 1999 season are still a team record.
His career records with the Panthers include most attempts (1,723), completions (1,041), passing yards (12,690), passing touchdowns (86), highest completion percentage (60.4%), and highest passer rating (87.7).
His 36 touchdown passes were 2nd in the NFL in 1999, and remain the eighth highest single-season total in league history. His 4,436 passing yards led the league, as did his 343 completions. At age 34, Beurlein went to his only Pro Bowl that year.
