How is taking a team to the playoffs two years and a QB never getting

It doesn't mater when you win games and make the playoffs.Yes a great
QB is better at turnovers.I never said Flutie was great.Just above
average.

Ok if you win 100,000 on that Lotto ticket is that the same as winning
nothing?
Yeah you would like to win the millions but 100,000 is good.Same as
Flutie
making the playoffs but not winning the SB.Rob Johnson barely won any
games in the NFL!Not the same results *!If both didn't make the
playoffs
that would be the same results.

Well that's sad if im the only one that thinks that.Because clear as
* day your average QB does not make the playoffs two
times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He did above average of what his fellow NFL
QBs did.

Duh!I am telling you he is better because you seem to think they had
the same kinda career.

If you think he is the second worse QB in Bills history you need to
quit watching football and pick up golf.The guy is top 5 in Bills
history at QB.Name me 5 better please.

You really need to quit shifting your argument. This was a discussion of
DF would have won the Titans playoff game, was it not?


What was the result of the 98 playoff game vs. the Dolphins?
Did not Flutie start and play this game?

What was the result of the 99 playoff game vs. the Titans?
Did not RJ start and play this game?

Once again, what was the end result of both playoff games?

Now turnovers do NOT matter?! Are you kidding me?

You do realize DF coughed up the ball 3 times in the playoff game vs.
the Dolphins?

Again, This discussion was about "Flutie would have won the Titans
game", NOT who was the better QB.

In the above scenario, even if I were to win 100k, I still failed to
"win" the jackpot (a/k/a the game).

If Flutie had started the Titans game, would Doug have done things
differently?
No doubt he would have.
However, Flutie had too many flaws as a QB.
And it's his flaws that undermine the argument he would have won the
Titans game.

Scott Mitchell?
Jay Fielder?
Chad Pennington?
Trent Dilfer?
Shaun King?

These guys are all "above average"?

Christ.You sound like a Chevette owner talking about how great his car
is because it will not blow up like the Pinto. And besides, it has the
word "Vette" in it, and we all know how good "vettes" are.

In the greater scheme of autos, both cars were POS.
In the greater scheme of QBs, Flutie was average.

Maybe this will clear my stance:

"The only stature Flutie can be assured of by beating out "maybe the
worst QB in Bills history" is he is at least the second worst QB in
Bills history. Where Flutie actually ranks is debateable."

Could Flutie be in the "top 5" of Bills QB's. Possibly, once you
consider the "stiff" competition he's matched up against.
Todd Collins, Billy Joe Hobert, Joe Dufek, ...
Heck, one could make an argument Frank Reich belongs in the top 5, and
he was a career back up.

I didn't shift anything.You started talking about both of them
sucking.Which is not true.

>

Whats your point?HE TOOK THE TEAM TO THE PLAYOFFS!Something Rob
Johnson didn't have a chance in * doing with the same talent.When
Rob Johnson got his shot the team won very few games.To me that shows
me how much better Flutie was and that he is above average.Not many
QBs could have taken that team to the playoffs with that bad a Oline.

>
> What was the result of the 99 playoff game vs. the Titans?

He is the worst QB I have ever seen in the NFL.That includes Ryan
Leaf.So
if someone that bad almost beat the Titans,I think a above average QB
could do it.

Yes they matter.You dont win SBs with QB play like this.You can make
the playoffs tho.

I seen him get blind sided at the goalline.Yeah he should have seen
that guy coming from behind him.With a half decent line we could have
went deeper in the playoffs both years.Had to have been the worse
Oline ever.He took that worse Oline ever to the playoffs two years

He is way better then the guy that almost won the game.A guy with the
same flaws plus a billion more.That's my argument.

You sound like a guy that does not know football.My car got me to the
indy 500.Your car did not even start.That makes my car better.

Frank Reich is in the top 5,no maybe about it.You can call him a
career back up if you like.I watched the games he was much much more
then that.He was a huge part of the early 90's bills.Flutie is top 5
is my point and its a fact.

Actually, I believe it was Geoff who said they all sucked.

I got back into the discussion when you stated Flutie would have won the
Titans game. I disagreed.

So, you shifted the discussion from "Flutie would have won the Titans
game" to "DF was better than RJ".

>>

Still does not prove Flutie would have won the Titans playoff game.

So let me get this straight.
Doug Flutie is an "above average" QB because he out played the "worst
ever" QB?

Wow.

I have always suspected Flutie fans of doing this, tying his
"greatness" to the "suckiness" of RJ. I now have proof. Thanks!

Elaborate. How does Flutie beat the Titans?

Nor do you win playoff games, as DF showed when he played the Dolphins.

>>

You have "excused" one turnover away. How about the other two?

They had different flaws.

RJ had a $.02 head, and no pocket presence.

Flutie had a weak arm, and a tendency to rush his decisions.

Teams did not defensively scheme the same way for both players.

Thaks for proving my point. Your "Chevette" is sooooo much better than
my Pinto.

All you proved was your car is better than my car. Nothing more.

You still failed to prove your car is NOT a POS, and is capable of doing
anything besides just "getting you there".

Kelly, Ferguson, Reich, Kemp and, um, Tred.

So he's in the top 10 QB's of a franchise that historically has had * for
QB's. That doesn't make DF an above average QB, unless you just mean above
the Bills average.

*sigh* Once again...comparing DF to RJ does nothing to support any claim to
DF's stature in the league. Flutie had one good year, nothing exceptional,
and one marginal year. Other than that, his stats are pretty meager.

Like I said...eerily similar. The only argument you have for Tred is the
same argument you have for Flutie...a comparison to another garbage
quarterback that we all know sucked...just a couple more qb's in the long
line of Bills qb misery.

I didn't shift it.I went with the flow of the chat.I said I thought
Flutie would have won that game.I said I will stick with that.Nothing
more to say.

He is way better then the guy that started the game.Only reason I
need.

No *.He is a above average QB because he took a team with little
talent to the playoffs two years.Your average QB playing with that
team could maybe have a 500. record.

I never said Flutie was great.Good try tho.I responed to guys that
said Flutie and Johnson had the same kinda career.

Well first off.He wouldn't take 92 sacks.Second he is way better!I
don't know what else needs to be said?Rob Johnson didn't do one thing
in that game that Flutie couldn't do.But he did alot of bad things
Flutie would have done better.Rob Johnson has never played one game is
his life better then Flutie.I dont see how this game would be any
different.

When you have a very bad Oline you have to rush or your sacked 367
times like Rob Johnson.Fluties arm was close to Rob Johnson's arm.Rob
had a very very overrated arm.Point being.Rob had the same flaws as
Flutie plus everything else it takes to be a winning QB.

Yeah the other team just did whatever with RJ back there.Rush him and
gets sacks or lay back and let him throw it into the ground.

The point of this was that Flutie is above average.Him taking a team
that had no right being in the playoffs to the playoffs twice.No
Oline,no running game,bad coaching.Two playoff teams.
