Bills historic starters - sad state of affairs


Recommended Posts

Below are the records of all of the Bills starters through the history. As Bills - only 10 QBs have 16 starts are more, of which only 3 had winning records (Kelly, Kemp and Flutie). If you take out the combined records of these 3 QBs (165-99-3-62.5%), our remaining QBs combine for a 189-295-5-39.2% record. It just shows you how important a franchise QB is.

FYI - the second set of W-L-W% for some QB's is their playoff record. This didn't print in the chart as I laid it out.

I think it shows the futility of this organization in its entirety .

it shows the incompetence of the owner...even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut (and then he benches one of them for a playoff game)

Did the AFL just play the regular season East Champ vs West Champ? Seems to be the case with Kemp having a 2-3 playoff record, having won 2 AFL championships.

Yes, unless there was a divisional tie, as in 1963, when the Bills played and lost a playoff to the Pats.

It's easy to look at won/losses to evaluate a QB but it's not always the real picture. Fergy was a pretty decent QB but played on several teams with horrible D's. I remember many games lost in shootouts 37-42 or 48-50. You can't lay that on the QB. I also remember Flutie being pretty bad the year he was benched for Johnson but had a good record thanks to the D and special teams.
