I believe that he will get a legit shot at QB before any switch
In the immediate days following, the discussion on Flutie at QB evolved and NO's reading comprehension devolved.
NotoriousOrange {l Wrote}:HJS {l Wrote}:Troy Flutie may turn out to be a Hall of Famer (and when facing Donnie Brown's D, my guess is he will look very similar to Matt Ryan's senior year). All my point has been is that his prolific number against crappy Mass HS teams means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to me (especially considering the lack of interest the previous record-holder had last year when he similarly dominated). All that said, would ANYONE be talking about Troy playing QB if his last name wasn't Flutie. Considering that Jonathan DiBiaso's (formerly of Everett currently at Dartmouth) name never appeared in the 2013 Recruiting Thread, I think I already know the answer.
HJS -
All of these Mass players Matt Hass - Tim Hass - Doug Flutie - Todd Collins - Shawn Halloran - Brian St Pierre not only succeeded at QB in college but also went on to play QB in the NFL. So Flutie may or may not be capable, but your reason for disqualifying him is still wicked retahded.
Mass football is not Pennsylvania football as hotbed of D1 QB recruits. But your using the sole fact that he played in Mass as an automatic disqualifier for Flutie is kinda stupid.
