Professional career

[edit]

NFL

[edit]

Case was a third round pick in the1995 NFL draftand played quarterback forArizona Cardinalsfrom 1995 to 1998, though he spent part of that time with theBarcelona Dragonsin theNFL Europe.[3]He was signed as afree agentby both theIndianapolis Coltsand theBaltimore Ravensin 1999, and went to theDetroit Lionsas an unrestricted free agent in 2000.

Case saw limited action during his NFL career. He played in two games during hisrookieseason, but saw no action in either1996or1998.He played twice in1997as a replacement for injured starterKent Graham.He played in 10 games for the Baltimore Ravens in1999,starting four games and winning two of them. He also played in five other games later in the season, receiving playing time as a back-up quarterback. In all, Case played in a total of 24 career NFL games over six years, 12 as a starter, in which he passed for 1,826 yards and 4 touchdowns while rushing for 270 yards and 5 touchdowns. His best game came in 1999 against the Atlanta Falcons, Case threw for 2 touchdowns and no interceptions with a QB rating of 96.5.[4]

As an NFL player, Case was criticized by some fans for his uncertainty and lack of ability to throw an effective long pass. His worst career performance came in October 1999 when he appeared for the Ravens against theKansas City Chiefs,completing only 15 of 37 passes for 103 yards. "The Chiefs", noted theBaltimore City Paper,"by comparison, ran back his intercepted passes for 108 yards. Repeat: 103 yards forward, 108 yards backward. Add in those two touchdowns off interceptions and Case did almost precisely as much for Kansas City as did the Chiefs' own quarterback,Elvis Grbac(112 yards, two TD passes). "[5]

In2000,Case signed with the Detroit Lions as the primary backup to quarterbackCharlie Batch.[6]Appearing in five games, Case passed for 503 yards, 1 touchdown, and 4interceptions.His best game came on November 30 in a game against theMinnesota Vikings.Even though the Lions lost 24–17, Case filled in for an injured Batch and put up 230 yards on 23–33 passing with a touchdown and an interception.
