Doug Flutie was a gambler‘s dream. Think about it. His team was always the underdog and yet he always came through in the clutch and covered the spread. From his Hail Mary pass in college to beat Miami to his scramble for a touchdown to beat Jacksonville in the pros, Flutie was a born winner. Sportsbooks hated this man, because whether they liked it or not, his teams were always getting points, yet they knew he would win the game;—somehow.

Even with this, when you think of Doug Flutie, you think of a short quarterback. You think of a little guy who was great for some trickery in close games, but not a player you would build a franchise around. You think of a player who was good enough to dominate Canada, but not the NFL. Why?

Atlanta QB Michael Vick was drafted number one overall in 2001 because of the amazing upside he possesses. Vick is a phenomenal athlete with speed, power, and the uncanny ability to throw the football up to 70 yards. Vick dazzled while playing his college ball at Virginia Tech and is a natural leader. These are simply intangibles you cannot teach, but can build a team and a franchise around.

So I beg to ask one question: what is the difference between Vick and Flutie? Less than two inches in height. Vick stands at 6’0″, with Flutie lagging just behind at 5’10″. Flutie has the cannon that Vick has and is also a great athlete who consistently makes plays with his legs. Flutie also dazzled in college while playing for Boston College, and he even won a Heisman Trophy in 1984. Even Vick can’t claim that award. When talking about leadership skills, no one will ever forget Flutie’s 48-yard Hail Mary pass that upset the Miami Hurricanes on November 23, 1984. One can even argue that Flutie has the edge on Vick when it comes to football smarts, and more importantly, accuracy. Vick has a career completion percentage of only 54.1 percent.

So if the two are so evenly matched, why was Flutie drafted 285th overall in 1985 while Vick was the first pick 16 years later? The answer is simple: Flutie was a man ahead of his time. In 1985, the mobile quarterback had no place in the NFL. Now this type of quarterback is the present and future of the game, and Flutie was one of the first prototypes. Flutie, the anti-Ryan Leaf, has no character flaws at all and if he were to come out of the draft now, he would be a first-day pick. The current coaches of this era would be drooling at the numerous ways they could utilize this athlete.

Now, after 21 professional seasons in football, Flutie called it quits on Monday. Flutie leaves behind a legacy of heart and determination, six player of the year awards in Canadian football, and of course, his Hail Mary pass that will live forever in college football lore. But, most of all, I believe he leaves behind the sad legacy of a player who was born in the wrong era and who was consistently underestimated.

Flutie made his resurgence in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills in 1998, voted the AP Comeback Player of the Year. In ‘98, Flutie threw for over 2700 yards and 20 touchdowns to only 11 interceptions. The very next year Flutie upped his numbers to over 3000 yards passing and was voted to the Pro Bowl. But alas, another stereotype would stand in the way of a fruitful career: his age. By the end of 1999, Flutie was 37 years old and the Bills did not want to build a team around an old-timer. It was just too late. Two years later, Flutie would sign with the Chargers, only to give the job up to another young quarterback: Drew Brees.

Flutie’s potential was there for all to see. You don’t just make the Pro Bowl if you’re not a great talent. Again, timing ruined what could have been a Hall of Fame career. Flutie just needed the breakthroughs of players like Kordell Stewart, Atwaan Randle El, and of course, Vick, to set the stage. Kordell started the trend way back in 1995 when he came in as ‘slash.’ Pittsburgh coach Bill Cower tried to use the multi-talented QB in every way possible and ended up with great success. This opened the door for Vick to be the top pick in 2001 and Randle El to sign with the Redskins for $27 million. Imagine all the money Flutie could have made in this era, for himself and gamblers alike.

Well, you can’t change history and you certainly can’t pick the era in which you are born. This is the sad reality of Doug Flutie’s career and the careers of many others who did not make it at the professional level. But what you can do is realize something. When you think of Michael Vick as the one player who changed the way we view what a quarterback can do, think again. There is one innovator who came before Vick, before Kordell, before Randle El, and even before Vince Young. This innovator was Doug Flutie.

AP – A person familiar with the team’s thinking says the Philadelphia Eagles are strongly considering releasing Michael Vick.

AP – Michael Vick was interviewed by a detective Monday about a shooting that took place outside a nightclub where he had celebrated his birthday, a Virginia Beach Police spokesman said.

NFL Power Rankings Week 15 – After a challenging Week 14 of the NFL season and the 49ers vs Cardinals’ Monday night football game has just wrapped up, it’s time and let’s get going with theNFL Power Rankings for Week 15.

In the Monday night game, San Francisco defeated Arizona and I’m ready to put out my week 15 NFL power rankings.

Here are some NFL Power Rankings for Week 15 (NFL Week 14 Rankings are in brackets):

1 (1) New Orleans Saints (13-0): Another week, another close win and struggling against bad teams but still undefeated.

2 (2) Indianapolis Colts (13-0): The Colts just won their 22nd regular season game.

3 (3) Minnesota Vikings (11-2): Dominant victory against the Bengals last time out and nice to see Adrian Peterson return to form.

4 (4) San Diego Chargers (10-3): The Chargers continue to roll in December and Heading into week 15 with 8 straight wins.

5 (7) Philadelphia Eagles (9-4): 4 straights wins is good for a top spot in the power rankings and a messy win, but still a win. Are the Eagles starting to utilize Michael Vick?

6 (9) Green Bay Packers (9-4): Green Bay might actually have a defense and with cold winter weather in full effect on the Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field, Aaron Rodgers may start passing less, leaving Ryan Grant to pick up the slack.

7 (5)  Cincinnati Bengals (9-4): The Bengals passing game needs to improve if they want to be an elite team and will the real Cincinnati please stand up?

8 (6) Dallas Cowboys (8-5): Another week of the “Tony Romo doesn’t produce in December” conversation and home loss to the Chargers sends Dallas down to #8.

9 (8) Arizona Cardinals (8-5): Nothing went right on Monday night football and still maddeningly inconsistent. With a division title in their grasp, they give up seven turnovers.

10 (12) New England Patriots (8-5): Brady’s injury is affecting that offense and the rankings and at least took a couple of seasons for Randy Moss to implode?

11 (15) Baltimore Ravens (7-6): Nothing went wrong against the Lions and the Ravens are hurting at the tight end position.

12 (10) Denver Broncos (8-5): Brandon Marshall had a great day.

13 (11) New York Giants (7-6): So talented yet so inconsistent this NFL season and the Giants defense can’t seem to stop anybody.

14 (13) Jacksonville Jaguars (7-6): Maurice Jones Drew has been solid in fantasy and how are the Jaguars still in the playoff race? They might not be for much longer when the face the Colts on Thursday.

15 (16) Miami Dolphins (7-6): Putting themselves back in the NFL playoff picture and with the Pats floundering, could the Dolphins win the division?

16 (17) New York Jets (7-6): 3 straight victories have the Jets thinking playoffs again and don’t look now but the Jets have won three in a row.

17 (18) Tennessee Titans (6-7): Could move up in our power rankings with a week 15 victory and Chris Johnson continue to dominate.

18 (20) Houston Texans (6-7): Offense is so good but the defense and Matt Schaub had 300 yards in passing by halftime.

19 (21) San Francisco 49ers (6-7): 49ers showing life after a rough stretch and after going to the spread offense, it’s nice to see the Niners go back to Frank Gore and the ground game.

20 (14) Pittsburgh Steelers (6-7): 5 straight losses heading into week 15 and who would have thought the Cleveland Browns would hand the Steelers a death blow?

21 (19) Atlanta Falcons (6-7): Missing Matt Ryan and Michael Turner badly and as if the team doesn’t enough problems with its injuries, Jonathan Babineaux goes and gets himself arrested.

22 (22) Carolina Panthers (5-8): Are you allowed to call out an opponent for “quitting” after they just beat you? Injuries are killing these guys this year.

23 (26) Buffalo Bills (5-8): Another NFL team that could use some consistency and their defense came up big against the struggling Chiefs.

24 (23) Chicago Bears (5-8): Such a good arm and such poor decisions and just playing out the string.

25 (24) Seattle Seahawks (5-8): Not much love for Seattle in the week 15 power rankings and ditto for the Seahawks.

26 (25) Washington Redskins (4-9): Playing much better football lately and Quinton Ganther looked promising.

27 (27) Oakland Raiders (4-9): Is Justin Fargas really the son of Antonio “Huggy Bear” Fargas? Looking good until JaMarcus Russell came back.

28 (28) Kansas City Chiefs (3-10): Offense is struggling heading into week 15 and the Chiefs offense is a mess.

29 (30) Cleveland Browns (2-11): Doing their best to avoid the top draft pick and I’m sure the Browns stink, but they stink less than they used to.

30 (29) Detroit Lions (2-11): Played about as bad as possible last week. Running back Kevin Smith, one of the team’s few bright spots this season, is done for the year.

31 (32) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-12): Not getting blown out has them here in our rankings. Stretching back to last season, the Bucs have lost 16 of their last 17.

32 (31) St. Louis Rams (1-12): Last in power rankings but let’s expect some thing about Keith Null.

Football betting offers great many picks and odds for upcoming week in this NFL Regular season.

Harry Smith spoke with CBS Sports anchor James Brown about his first interview with NFL star Michael Vick since his release from prison for dog fighting.

NFL tickets for all NFC South teams can be found at StubHub.com.

Falcons – The Falcons are in rebuilding mode and are trying to forget the Michael Vick era in Atlanta. They made that abundantly clear by drafting Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan and making him the face of the franchise by giving him a huge contract. They also acquired Michael Turner via free agency which should bolster their running game. Ryan has a lot of learning to do and the team really won’t get going offensively until he grasps the system. The team isn’t going to win very many games this season, but they’re young players will have a chance to develop and their offensive players will have time to gel.

Panthers – The Panthers are a tough team to figure out. They always look to have the talent to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl but don’t seem to put it together. I think the skills of rookie running back Jonathan Stewart are going to translate very well to the pros and he should be getting more carries than DeAngelo Williams by week three. But the team will go as QB Jake Delhomme goes. If he can stay healthy and get things going with Steve Smith, the offense could roll. The defense is pretty good and they have one of the best defensive players in the league in Julius Peppers. It’s all about putting everything together and living up to their potential as a team.

Saints – This is a team to watch this season. They started so slowly last year that they couldn’t recover and make the playoffs despite turning things around in the second half. The offense is going to put up points; they just need to be able to slow down their opponents. Acquiring Jonathan Vilma may have been the best move of the offseason. He’s a fantastic player in a 4-3 scheme and should be fan favorite in New Orleans. If the defense can take some strides, there’s no telling how far this team can go. Even if they don’t win games, Reggie Bush will still sell NFL Tickets in New Orleans.

Bucs – This team is hard to get a read on. Jeff Garcia can only take them so far and there’s no telling how Cadillac Williams is going to do in his return from injury. The team has some nice young players but a lot of their starters are getting a bit old. I don’t see them making the playoffs this season.

NFL tickets to see NFC South competition are available now.
