Question
Will Doug Flute be playing again this year or has he had enough of taking teams to the big game only to be sat on the bench?

Answer
Dear Vince,

Rob Johnson is the starter, that's a fact. Doug Flutie is the backup, that's a fact. If Johnson is injured, Flutie plays, that's a fact. Flutie is getting paid big bucks, he'd be crazy to retire. In my opinion (I see all the games, I have season tickets) Flutie lost a little zip last year in his arm, a sign of age, happens to us all. I still think he's the best backup in the NFL. Looking forward to this season.

Thanks for asking,
Chuck
