beausox Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 DB made interesting observation that he and JP could not run the same stlye offense. If JP is going to be a mobile QB who better than Flutie to back him up? He has grown accustom to the clip board and the coaching staff is brand new. Are there second acts as QB ? Or did Doug burn his bridges? I always liked him. He is a winner. Can he suck up an oversized ego and contribute knowing that he won't be the starter and that the investment in JP will out last him even considering his seemingly eternal youth? Whatever we might think Flutie was in large measure the salvation of the Bills franchise a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRH Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 It's a moot point because the midget isn't coming back, but when he came here in 1998 he wanted #2 (his previous NFL number) and Steve Christie already had it, so he asked for #11 (1+1=2, and 11 is half of 22 which was his college number, which can't be issued to QBs in the NFL). They gave him #11 and then traded for RJ, who asked for #11 (his Jax and USC number). Since RJ was slated to be the starter and Flutie hadn't taken a snap in Buffalo yet, they gave RJ #11 and told the midget to pick another number. The midget took #7, presumably because it sort of looked like a 2. If the midget came back, which he won't, he would probably take #2 since it's available now.

Snorom Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Flutie was a winner in the CFL in the NFL he had steaks of average mixed in with the occasional flash of something interesting. He is way too old to invest in as a #2. The guy will be 43 in Oct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
