Hey, is Michael Bishop still with the Patriots? He was a quarterback at Kansas State a few years back and went to the Pats in a later round. He was never intended, I believe, to be used at q'back, but was such an awesome athlete that they spoke of using him elsewhere.

Anyone know.

I watched him throw a football 70 yards once, perfect spiral, from a flat-footed stand....all arm strength. Fast and slick -- unfortunately not an NFL style q'back. He was a scrambler, option, runner. But he had this desire to win that wouldn't quit; would always figure out a way.

The NFL has never liked running QB's like Flutie because they're effective. Although they're finally starting to smarten up with the success of McNabb and Stewart.

The Pats cut him before the start of the season.

Nope. The P-men's QB core consists of Brady, Bledsoe and Huard.
