I don’t condone cheering when a player is injured, but it was a reflection of how truly awful Johnson was.

And they were 1 - 15 in 2000, the year before Flutie.

Terrible comparison, but Flutie had 8 4th Quarter comeback wins and Taylor had 3. Did you actually see Flutie play? The Bills went 3 - 13 the year after Flutie left. How dos that make Bills players feel?

The Bills haven’t had a double digit win season since Flutie was QB in 1999.

There never should have been a QB controversy. Flutie should have been the starter and Johnson the backup. The Bills screwed up trading for Johnson and then doubled down on their stupidity.

Flutie had a 70% winning percentage and Johnson had a 34.5% winning percentage. Flutie was 8 - 3 in 1998 and Johnson was 2 - 3. Flutie made the Pro-Bowl that year. Flutie was 10 - 5 in 1999. Flutie was 4 - 1 in 2000, Johnson was 4 - 7. Flutie was released after the 2000 season and the Bills went 3 - 13 in 2001.

I love the 70% winning percentage.

And if it weren’t for Flutie there would have been 0 playoff games.

Flutie had a 70% winning percentage with Buffalo and Johnson had a 34.5% winning percentage.

And it won Johnson a 34.5% winning percentage?

Who blamed Johnson. Maybe if Flutie plays the Bills are 2 Tds ahead.

Who knows. If Flutie doesn’t get pulled for the playoff game against TN, maybe they go to the SB and win.

Drew Brees turned to Flutie for inspiration. https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/drew-brees-turned-to-doug-flutie-early-in-his-career-071015 Can you name a QB that modeled their game after Johnson?

Flutie was a Rhodes Scholarship finalist and won a National Football Foundation post-graduate scholarship.

It’s interesting that top prospects get compared with Doug Flutie. Who ever said that a top prospect reminded him of Rob Johnson?

Some hack reporter named Bucky said he was a jerk so it must be true. I’m wondering what Chip, Biff, and Skip had to say about Flutie.

“In the NFL, the quarterback is the only position that is credited with records of wins and losses.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Football_League_career_quarterback_wins_leaders More like a Moan-et.

Flutie’s winning percentage with the Bills: 70% Johnson’s winning percentage with the Bills: 34.5% in 2000, Flutie was 4 - 1, Johnson was 4 - 7.

Interesting article regarding Gleason. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ubbullrun.com/platform/amp/2018/3/22/17150354/bucky-gleason-rides-again-attacks-ub-athletics

In 2000, Flutie was 4 - 1 and RJ was 4 - 7. Same defense.

Flutie didn’t say anything negative about Johnson when asked to respond.

How did he manage to have a 70% winning percentage while destroying the locker room? It sounds nothing short of miraculous if true.

You appear to be forgetting a couple of critical elements of the Miami game. 1. Mounds fumbled away a near certain TD on the Miami 12 yrd line after a 65 yrd pass play. 2. Andre Reed bumped the referee after he was called down on Miami’s 1 yrd line and earned an ejection and a 15 yrd penalty. The Bills had to settle for a FG. 3. The Bills committed 9 penalties and had 4 fumbles.

RJ was a 4th rd pick. The Bills liked him because of one good career start and because he could spin the ball. The Jags fleeced us. I liked him because he was exciting to watch and he found ways to win games. He had a 70% winning percentage with the Bills.

I’m still bitter we traded for this bum and shafted Flutie. https://www.google.com/amp/s/articles.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2017/08/rob_johnson_still_seems_upset_about_losing_buffalo_bills_qb_job_to_doug_flutie.amp
