Yeah, seems like scouts/coaches were much more stuck in their ways back then as far as measurables and finding the prototype 6’3 + QB. Now they aren’t as much, but it worked out in our favor. Josh Allen would’ve went #1 overall in every draft prior to 2010 (ball park number, but just making a point.) The short guy w/ the intangibles & heart ended up going #1 and JA dropped down all the way to 7.
I feel like Flutie would’ve been really good in today’s NFL especially in an offense designed around him that took advantage of his scrambling and ability to throw on the run. Like a poor man’s Russell Wilson. Regardless, he’s got a legendary career than any player would be proud of. He’s had success on every level he’s played in. Flutie is definitely one of my favorite players of all time and I never understood the dislike that some on this board have for him despite loving Ryan Fitzpatrick who never got the Bills to the postseason. He’s a winner. Who knows what would’ve happened had he started the Music City Miracle game? That was a massive slap in the face to the players and fans. At the very least, he was fun to watch and played w/ heart.
