Priest Holmes was Shaun Alexander. Over rated as hell

You're just mad because Priest Holmes routinely gashed the Chargers like it was cool. He was real good in his day, the offensive line was a killer but he was a great back in his day.

I know this isnt the NCAA thread but Staubach won the Heisman throwing for 1700 yards and 7 TD and 7 picks for the season. What happened there?

2nd place was Billy Lothridge with 1017 yards, 10 TD and 7 INT, third was Sherman Lewis with 577 rushing yards and 4 TD. I'm going to go with 'Times were different, man'

They are from different eras and it's pointless to compare them.

Staubach was better relative to his era than Romo is relative to his.

Romo is clearly better because he's one of the best QBs in the game today, which has advanced far beyond the game of Staubach's era.

Everything is true.

*Fun* facts about my bro Steve Buerlein

In 2000 He threw for 3,370 passing yards - the 5th most in Carolina Franchise history.

Mr. Buerlein has 12,690 passing yards with Carolina which made him the 2nd most in franchise history until last week, when Cam hit Greg Olsen on a 20 yard pass to surpass him. Cam now has 12,771 franchise passing yards.

Steve Buerlein is still the franchise record holder for most yards in a season when in 1999 he very quietly threw for 4,436 passing yards in one season. This currently ranks as 43rd best for a passer in terms of yards in the NFL.

33 of those QBs have accomplished their season after 1999. Meaning when this was accomplished the Carolina Panthers had the 10th best QB in terms of yardage in the history of the NFL.

Steve's company in the top 10 in 1999?

People you've never heard of:
Dan Marino x3
Dan Fouts x2
Warren Moon x2
Neil Lomax
Lynn Dickey

Fake edit because this keeps on giving:

In 99 Beurlein also threw for 36 :psyduck: touchdowns in that season. Only Jake "bojangles.gif" Delhomme (29 in 2004) can sniff that number in the franchise. Career wise, Cam (72) is still 14 behind Beurlein (86).

Where does this magical forgotten 1999 season rank as far as amount of passing TDs?

Currently it sits tied at 18th. At the the time it was sixth best in the history of the NFL . As of now the usual suspects have more in one season: Manning, Marino, Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Favre, Warner, Stafford, and Culpepper For all the pride in the defenses of the NFC North, 4 of those 9 names are NFC North QBS . Tied with Beurlein (and who aren't already mentioned) are just George Blanda, YA Tittle, and :romo:.

If your favorite QB hasn't been mentioned he has never had as good of a season as Steve Beurlein :smug:.

I have the opposite problem, I always end up thinking of Beuerlein like he was a pretty good quarterback for a long time. Then you go look him up and he was either mediocre or downright bad outside of a couple of years in Carolina where he was pretty amazing.

Steve Beuerlein was cut in training camp by George Seifert in favor of Jeff Lewis. Seifert's reasoning "if I have him, I'll have to use him."

Jeff Lewis was quickly shown as being unable to play professional football and was released, leading to Chris Weinke starting week 1 against the vikings and stunning them in Minneapolis.

The next day was 9/11.

Basically what I'm saying is George Seifert caused 9/11.
