A short while ago, Andrew was blasted for letting down his teammates, his fans, indeed the whole fricking NFL by selfishly retiring. The blaster: a longtime journeyman NFL QB with few career highlights named Steve Beuerlein.
After a 21-18 record leading (natch) the Golden Domers, he rode six different pro benches. Here's the wiki entry's money quote on
Beuerlein:
"The newly renamed Arizona Cardinals hired Buddy Ryan as both head coach and general manager in 1994. Beuerlein was benched after week 2 after an 0-2 start. Ryan called him 'one of the worst quarterbacks he had ever seen' and stated to the press that Beuerlein was 'a cancer that needed to be cut out.'"
Jeers, jeers for old Notre Dame..
