New England QB Doug Flutie announced his retirement on Monday

 

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

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. :ph34r:

    • Who’s going to lead the pirates offense this year?
    • Pickett is good, may have a Mr. Football like season if he’s used correctly. One of the best teams Marion has fielded in a while. I think they go 12-1 and loose to ER.  ER has better players at almost every position. If they play discipline this year, they win soundly. If they don’t though…Marion could sneak away with it.
    • I’m betting the house on the Indians. Pickett and Co will be the only team to challenge the Indians in the East. Huntingdon can in the West. I think Brooks goes 15-0 and has the first perfect season and state championship in ER history.
    • Sounds like a great opportunity has opened up for the football team.  With the head coach of the diamond rebels making it official and quitting this week, there should be some room for the gridiron guys to benefit. I assume the administration won’t continue paying six figures to two former coach that quit to continue teaching drivers Ed. Thats pretty good money that could be redirected toward the football program. Also, with the more recent policies of pushing kids to only play one sport, abolishing the baseball program altogether would help on Friday nights in the fall. There is some decent speed on that baseball team that should’ve been playing on Fridays IMO. I’m not sure if anybody would really miss that baseball program anyway with it being across town from the school. The liability of letting players actually use the facilities could also be mitigated with closing the program. That liability seems to be a really big issue for 825. Anyway, it seems like a great opportunity is available.
    • Yeah, I read about their spring blue/gray scrimmage after I typed that.   Sounds like a real mess over there.  I just hate that for 'em.  Haw
