New England QB Doug Flutie announced his retirement on Monday

 

I loved watching Flutie play, he wanted to be out there for all the right reasons.

Proof that little guys can succeed in football!!!

 

But he will always be remember for his throw against Miami when he was at BC!

I consider him the best all round football player that ever lived. I know that will bring a lot of flack but this guy never quit and succeeded when everyone else thought he was incapable. He had the magic to take a team to another level when other QB's fell flat. Many times I have seen him be the backup and a team going nowhere with the starter only to come in and rally the troops to a fantastic comeback. Yes, he was too short to play QB.......by logical standards but this guy would never fall victim to that kind of thinking. He was so athletic that he could just roll out and create havoc with the D line and linebackers while simultaneously creating passing lanes. His cannon of an arm just was abnormal. You couldn't think a small guy like him could throw the ball as far and hard as he could. Every time he hit the field, you had the feeling something special was about to happen. He was the "ROCKY" of football.

 

I'll miss him and his inspiration.

It would be nice to see Flutie get into the hall of fame. I know its a long shot but I think he deserves to be in there.

He sure was fun to watch in both college and the NFL. I loved that drop kick extra point last year too.

He was such an inspiration, i loved watching him scamble around in the pocket, and always making something out of nothing. He will be missed around the NFL. Maybe he can get in the business part of the NFL, we needa guy like him..

And lets not forget about his accomplishments off the field!!!

Flutie belongs in the Pro Football HOF, however the HOF voters will overlooks his accomplishments in the CFL and USFL.
