An afternoon of paradox for Eric Parker has made him for five long months the object of Chargers fans' indignation, the chief reason they believe their team did not make it past another opening-round playoff game.
Thing is, Parker does not argue with that.

“There was no bigger factor,” he said in a firm voice yesterday. “I'm not scared to say that.”

This proud man who has worked so hard to make himself indispensable to the Chargers, who still works as if his dismissal could be imminent, has recovered.

But he has not forgotten.

He will not say he is working harder, since he has long worked so hard his position coach has actually told him to take it easy. But Parker is driven to make sure thoughts of that January night at Qualcomm Stadium are banished.

“That game is in the past,” he said, “and the good thing about it is that I know I'm never going to feel like that again.”

im surprised by this:

Parker, about to enter his sixth season and in the second year of a five-year, $13.225 million contract, dropped just two of the 70 passes thrown his way all of 2006. Just 22 players leaguewide who had that many passes thrown to them dropped that few.

amazing stat!
