I remember the sacks and the strong arm. I remember a nice guy who always took time out to meet the fans and never had a bad word about anyone. He was a leader on and off the field. He was never great in the minds of the sportscasters, but he was better than some and certainly not as good as Staubach and Bradshaw.
Compared the latest Bills QB's, he was the equivalent to Fitz, but had an arm like porcelain Rob. He couldn't stand in the pocket long, but could take a hit and sure did, and often. He didn't have the flair of Flutie, but was smarter than J.P. Losman.
I suppose he was a lot like Bledsoe in his early years. I liked the man and still do. He took the blame when things went poorly, and never took the acclaim when it went well. A real gentleman throughout his life.
