I'm reading that there is some sort of controversy... Why???

i probably shouldn't bother responding to this, because statistics speak for themselves... its just that most people can't read them...

what do these stats say?  Beecher played during the stretch of the game that was competitive... Smelley did not...

Smelley threw a whopping 5 passes... that is what, in the world of statistics, we would call an insufficient sample...

the reason there is a QB controversy is because this is NOT the only sample available from which to evaluate the two QBs... this is NOT the first game they have played... Smelley is inconsistent... its wonderful he can come in during mop up time and throw a couple TDs... but i'm sure Spurrier would much rather see him come in during crucial times and not throw up duck after duck and pick after pick...

so THAT is why there is a QB controversy...
