Buftex Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 comparing robb riddick and leon seals to doug flutie?????????????????????????you are nuts! 331602[/snapback] Just using your logic as to why Flutie belongs in the Hall of Fame...forgot to stress the sarcasim!
Dennis in NC Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 just because you guys were wrong about rob johnson don't deny that doug flutie has a very good chance to be inducted to the hall of fame. 331530[/snapback] Hey xsuspendersx: Get a clue, buddy! Your Draft Doug Flutie movement failed in 1985 (Bills took Bruce Smith instead of the midget), and your HOF campaign for the self-meister will fail now. Ok, so maybe you weren't alive in 1985, but whatever. Maybe you should find another hobby, kid...
Lori Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 the smell of bacon is wafting in this thread 331605[/snapback] Mmmmmm.... bacon...... I'll try to answer this seriously, though. Why? Dunno, really. Maybe because I've already got the stats at hand, because I've had to answer this so many times before. And maybe because I'm still hoping that this will eventually go away if I answer it often enough.... First, you should know that because of the vast differences between the US and Canadian games, CFL statistics are not factored in when a candidate is considered for enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH. That's direct from Hall of Fame Vice President of Communications/Exhibits (and Buffalo native) Joe Horrigan. So here's the current book on one Douglas Richard Flutie: career USFL stats: 134-281, 47.7 completion %; 2109 yds, 13 TD, 14 INT, 67.8 QB rating. playoff record: 0-1 (20-17 L to Baltimore Stars, 1985) career NFL stats: 1172-2141, 54.7 completion %; 14686 yds, 86 TD, 68 INT, 76.4 QB rating. playoff record: 0-2 (27-13 L to Redskins, 1986; 24-17 L to Dolphins, 1998) overall career stats: 1306-2422, 53.9 completion %; 16795 yds, 99 TD, 82 INT, 75.4 QB rating. career playoff record: 0-3 Pro Bowls: 1. Top 50 rankings in any passing categories: none. This August, Steve Young and Dan Marino will become the 20th and 21st modern-era (post-World War II) QBs to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Think about that for a minute - out of the hundreds of quarterbacks who have played NFL football in the last 60 years, only 21 have been elected to the Hall. Of those, 15 led their teams to at least one league championship; here are the only exceptions: Dan Fouts - 43,040 yards passing, 254 TD. Six Pro Bowls, three-time All-Pro, 1982 NFL MVP. Sonny Jurgensen - 32,224 yds passing, 255 TD. Five Pro Bowls, three-time league passing leader. Jim Kelly - 35,467 yds passing, 237 TD (NFL stats only; add another 9,842 yards and 83 TDs in the USFL). Five Pro Bowls, four AFC championships. Dan Marino - 61,361 yds passing, 420 TD (#1 all-time in both statistics). Nine Pro Bowls, 1984 NFL MVP; eight-time 1st- or 2nd-team All-Pro. One AFC championship. Fran Tarkenton - 47,003 yds passing, 342 TD (NFL leader in both categories when he retired). Nine Pro Bowls, two-time All-NFL, three NFC championships. Y. A. Tittle - 33,070 yds passing, 242 TD. Seven Pro Bowls, four-time All-NFL, 1961 and 1963 NFL MVP. Now tell me where Flutie ranks on that list. College and CFL Halls of Fame? Absolutely. But Canton? Not in this lifetime.
RuntheDamnBall Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 College and CFL Halls of Fame? Absolutely. But Canton? Not in this lifetime. 331674[/snapback] But.... all he did was win football games (and hang receivers out to dry)! he had a cereal! Rob Johnson bad!
DieHardFan Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 Wow, Haven't seen such a well executed troll thread in a long time. Give it a 8 for topic, and a 9.5 for the skill and patience used in reeling them in (just the right amount of ludicrist comments when things slow down). Even got the statistic hounds howling. Reminiscent of classic Ice.

My only concern is that otherwise well-meaning people don't actually take the idea seriously. And considering ICE was the one who gave Flutie the classic "Circus Midget" moniker, I'd bet on Hogboy myself. ....mmm, bacon......

/dev/null Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 i think flutie should wear a #11 Johnson jersey when he visits the Hall in Canton to check out the Jim Kelly exhibit, and an Argonaut jersey when he visits his own in wherever the CFL Hall is
xpendersx Posted May 9, 2005 Author Posted May 9, 2005 i think flutie should wear a #11 Johnson jersey when he visits the Hall in Canton to check out the Jim Kelly exhibit, and an Argonaut jersey when he visits his own in wherever the CFL Hall is 331789[/snapback] and i never said that flutie was a lock for the hall, just that he deserves serious considederation and will most likely be selected.
Reuben Gant Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 Don't be hating on Flutie. He belongs in the Hall of Fame, just not the one in Canton. The Top Five Hall of Fames Flutie belongs in: 1. The hanging your Reciever out to Dry Hall of Fame (He should wear Thurman Thomas and Andre Reed"s Broken Bodies thrown over his shoulder) 2. The Providing a Wheatie's Knockoff cereal because you weren't good enough to be on the Real Wheatie's Box Hall of Fame. (I think this requires a Bills Jersey) 3. The Gratuitus Sports Celebrity Appearance Hall of Fame. (He should wear Ray-Bans) 4. The backup QB causing the most second guessing HOF (Don't know who will induct him, but I think Darlyle Lamonica) 5. The Men's League of You Need Not be Ashamed of using a Blowdrier HOF. (For this he need not wear helmet.) Flutie deserves to be in these Hall of Fames and fans should insist that they are long overdue.

Reuben Gant Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 whos writing your material, obese homosexual bruce vilanch? 331794[/snapback] I thought the thread was a joke. You are not saying that this is a serious discussion. Just to be clear, Flutie does not even belong on the Bill's Wall of Fame.

IDBillzFan Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 get over it, flutie was better than rob johnson and would have won the tennesee game. without flutie the bills may not even be here anymore. 331897[/snapback] You are seriously wasting some serious bandwidth here. And don't even get me started on the oxygen being wasted as well.

Alaska Darin Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 ...and will most likely be selected. 331790[/snapback] Keep posting, Mrs. Flutie.

EC-Bills Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 ya well at least i only breathe oxygen and dont read the womens magazine "oxygen" like you do! 331941[/snapback] Doug, get over it! You're not going to the HOF!!!
xpendersx Posted May 9, 2005 Author Posted May 9, 2005 Really? When did he start playing kick coverage? 331945[/snapback] he didnt play kick coverage but his mere presence was inspiring to the defense and special teams.
