    QB weighs retirement decision

    With the NFL draft over, 43-year-old Doug Flutie is expected to announce this week if he will end a career that included a Heisman Trophy and took him through three pro football leagues. more

    It's about time He hasn't been able to complete a season with that arm since 98

        I'll be glad I won't have to hear about every little single thing he does from the frontpage. He almost gets as much publicity as T.O on the front page.

            I'm sure Phil would love for him to come over for a day and retire a bill

                For 16 games at this point he blows. But if I need a backup to win me ONE game I'd still take him over most of these high profile backups

                  I will never forget that naked bootleg for the TD against Jax in the final seconds of the game. It is too bad we didn't get him to replace Kelly in '96 instead of wasting time with Collins/Hobert. Those 2 years would probably have made a difference in his arm strength, which is the only knock on him (moreso than his height) He has more "it" in his little pinky than most QBs have in their entire bodies.

                  He should retire though...it was a nice career but he's done.

                    The last good-years the bills ever had were with him.

                      I'll take the the 1st year we grabbed Bledsoe over any year DF was in town. Bledsoe tore it up here in his 1st 8 games. That stretch alone trumped anything DF tried to do in Buffalo or his NFL career.

                      I don't find the occasional flash to be worthy of any sort of extreme praise. DF was never consistent enough in this league, and good teams had little trouble game planning against him.

                      The guy is 5' 8". Shortness does not make an average at best QB great... but people love to think so. The occasional flash is fun to watch, but that flash was NEVER going to win a championship, because like I said above.. good teams, and great temas coulds easily contain him.

                          And what SB did Dredsoe win? He was just as easy to contain as the season wore on.....he was stonefooted, inaccurate, slow to make decisions and had no touch. Only could throw the rocket deep ball. So teams just blitzed the crap out of him and eventually he'd toss the INT or take a ton of sacks.

                          DF in his prime was twice the QB Dredsoe ever was IMO.

                            LMFAO... DF has only one 16 NFL season on his record. Yeah such a great QB that only SD trusted him to play the position for them full time that one year. What was SD record that year ? 5-11.... sure wreaks of greatness LOL.


                            Neither Did Flutie. It was our D that won games for us, and they pulled DF for the Titans game because they didn't (and no other NFL team ever has) have any confidence in him for the playoffs. A game RJ had won before the ST's foul up.

                            DF was a backup QB, a change of pace player who could steal ya some games wwhen the starter went down. That is it !!!

                            Bledsoe wasn't better, but I will still enjoy the 1st half of the Bledsoes 1st year over anything the midget did.


                            Maybe from a personal love of Doug Futile you can say he was 2xs the QB Bledsoe was, but the stats and facts say DB was at worst his par, and when DB was prime Flutie couldn't sniff his strap

                              Bledsoe didn't have the benefit of the top defense in the league when he was here. This IS a team game, after all.
