Billsfanatixs Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I think that's a fair comparison, both are passionate leaders of a man's game. The NFL did all fans a disfavor for letting Flutie leave for Canada. The man was probably the most entertaining QB I ever had the privilege to watch. Let's hope Baker is his clone and wear a Bills Jersey come draft day! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrod's friend Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I love Flutie's line - a big guy has to prove he can't play QB. A small guy has to prove he can. Flutie was a favorite of mine, and I don't think he is anywhere in Baker Mayfield's arena. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanbillsfan2206 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I have no idea who Lance Zierlein is. But Flutie only really had one decent year in the league I believe. And I think he was in his mid 30s when he had it. Meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimer1960 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I think the leadership and chip on the shoulder are very similar between Mayfield and Flutie, but I think Mayfield has a stronger arm and is more accurate. I think Mayfield is about 2.5” taller and built thicker than Flutie. i admired Flutie, but I think Mayfield is a better NFL prospect. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flutie was like Saban, meaning his only real success in the league was here. chicago and New England were dreadful years and his brief time as SD's starter wasn't much better.

I’ve read that he was an !@#$. But to me, he’s arguably the 2nd greatest QB in Buffalo history. He totally got shafted while he was here. But also, he was 35 years old when he came to Buffalo. If they’re comparing mayfield to flutie, I’d hope mayfield flourishes a little sooner than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayfield is 2.5" taller but does not have near the escapability as Doug. I think Baker will be a better pocket passer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flutie supporters gave him all of the credit and the haters said we won because of our defense. I was was somewhere in the middle. I would take a 70 percent win percentage as well but Flutie wouldn't get there with our roster now. Maybe with our roster in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
