He was a HOF player... His coaching was a sore point with many Patriots fans, especially his propensity for changing QB’s... He had an aging 5th round draft pick in QB Steve Grogan, a first round QB Toney Eason (who they picked ahead of Dan Marino) and a USFL player and 6th round pick in QB Doug Flutie.
Sadly... He played all three of them in one game.
They called them the Wimp Eason, the Gimp Grogan and the Shrimp Flutie.
None of them were hurt... He just changed them up like he was putting in new pitchers in a baseball game. He should’ve stuck with Eason who had lots of potential. Berry crushed his potential by constantly replacing him with Grogan every time he wasn’t playing well. Eason lost all of his confidence.

Hey, it worked for Coach Ray Malavasi in the 1951 Championship game for the Rams against the Browns. The two quarterbacks were BOTH Hall of Fame caliber with different strengths (Bob Waterfield/Norm Van Brocklin).

As far as I could tell Doug Flutie was a darn good quarterback in spite of his size.
