PATS SIGNING

[Mike P]

What's the difference between a 5'10" QB who releases straight overhand and a 6'5" one who throws sidearm?

Flutie's the same height as Joe Theismann, and no one ever said Theismann was "too short" to play QB in the NFL

I agree with Outfished....Flutie is a proven winner on every level he has played at and his winning percentage reflects it and is higher than most other QB's.....Reelecstasy....you think he is too short? The guy wins....knows how to win more than most taller QB's I have ever seen.....and I never thought he got a fair chance in the NFL! He spent his prime in Canada.....and then wasted away in San Diego and Buffalo. If Brady goes down, Gawd forbid, you will not find a better backup anywhere, 42 years old or not the guy can come into a game cold and make things happen and he is not a liabiliy. I am thrilled he is with the Pats.

What has he won?????
I'm not a Flutie fan, my wife thinks he's cute but that don't win football games..... I think it's a bad move...But who knows, IN BILL WE TRUST!!!

I think if you were going to put together the perfect quarterback, peice by peice,
Flutie's brain & the intangables (and athletic ability) he brings to the game, would be a great start.
And if you could add some size to him (between 6'3" - 6'5" ) (Like Drew Bledsoe) big guy, great arm, NO brain!
Add a cannon of an arm (Like a guy like Jeff George) another good size guy with a HUGE arm, but NO brain or idea how to play the game to win!!!

WOW!!! that would be a great quarterback

I don't think there has ever been the perfect Quarterback, who has had all the tools like that in the NFL ever!
A guy like Dan Fouts comes kind of close! Of coures there is was Marino, and Elway who had all the tools!!!

But I'm sure all the Pats fans here are going to try to tell me that Tom Brady is that guy!!!
DREAM ON PATS FANS!!! Show me that he can hit a 20 yd out, without bouncing the ball on the turf 3-5 yds in front of the reciever!!!

brady's not perfect, but there are 31 gms' that would love to have him on they're team. 3 sbs' wins in his 5 nfl years- not to bad. in todays league i think he brings the best package.

Ron will never admit that Brady is a great quarterback...mediocre QB's don't win 3 Superbowl rings Ron. He will be remembered as one of the best ever.

Brady is a very good quarterback, and just like Montana,
plays within his limitations!!!
Both guys have/had average arms!!!
