Two Bills Drive

‘The Buffalo Bills have chosen quarterback Doug Flutie over Rob Johnson, according to a local all-sports radio station. WGR 55, quoting unidentified "sources close to Rob Johnson," said the Bills plan to release Johnson and make Flutie the starter. An official announcement is not expected until next week, the station said.’

‘The Bills are looking at offensive and defensive linemen, running backs and defensive backs.’

‘Great deal on the following items:

Flutie Replica jersey – (Blue or White), 4-player lineup (Price, Moulds, Linton, Smith), A. Smith Distressed T-shirt… all for only $15.95!!!’

‘This package consists of three great items featuring Rob Johnson:

Replica Jersey – Blue, 2-sided workout t-shirt, Oval T-shirt,… all for only $15.95!!!’

‘Washington… was scheduled to make about $7.6 million — including bonus money — next season. That’s deemed far too expensive for the salary-cap strapped Bills who are projected to be more than $13 million over the cap… Numerous reports speculate that the Bills will also consider releasing LB Sam Rogers and OL Joe Panos.’

‘”They’re going to let him go,” Washington’s agent Angelo Wright said on Wednesday.’

‘Article giving love to Buffalo printed earlier this month from the Sun a week before the positive article from USA Today. Maybe Marvin Lewis should have read this before making his decision that Buffalo wasn’t good enough for him.’

‘I think Doug Flutie will be the Bills’ starting quarterback in 2001. If this happens, it will be a marvel for Flutie. Just when you thought his Buffalo career was over, he comes back for an encore. It will be another chapter in his book and part of the climax of his movie.’

‘According to very reliable sources close to Rob Johnson, WGR Sports Radio 55 has been told that the Buffalo Bills have apparently made their decision on which quarterback they plan to keep and which quarterback they plan to cut lose.’

"If 75 guys don’t work out, 50 to 65 percent of them eliminate themselves because you will have a question about their numbers," he said. "So you say, ‘OK, we had a question about his temperament and now he’s not going to work out, so forget him.’ It winds up hurting most of the guys who don’t work out."

‘WGR55 is reporting that sources close to QB Rob Johnson said he is the odd

man out. Meanwhile, Bills fans wait for the official word from One Bills Drive that will finally put an end to a controversial chapter in Bills history.’

‘Linebacker Sam Rogers, nose tackle Ted Washington and guard Joe Panos are three veterans who almost have to go due to the salary crunch.’

‘When Gregg Williams became the Buffalo Bills’ head coach, he said the assistants he hired would be great teachers. They had better be.’

‘First-year Buffalo coach Gregg Williams’ staff could be called the Mountain West Conference East. Besides Fairchild and Sheppard (who coached a wide-open New Mexico offense before Dennis Franchione’s arrival), Bills wide receivers coach Fred Graves left Utah last week.’

‘In other words, if Flutie has two good years left, that may be enough. Two more years of waiting for Johnson to blossom may be too long.’
