R2ITRich Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 My Brother, having nothing better to do, started a thread with his friends that created the following list that rated the BILLS QB's from Best to Worst. In Buffalo’s 55 years of existence, there have been 3 franchise QB’s, 3 good QB’s, 2 average QB’s, and 19 QB’s that suck. 1. ==== Franchise QBs ==== 2. Jim Kelly 3. Joe Ferguson 4. Jack Kemp 5. ==== Good QBs ==== 6. Doug Flutie 7. Tyrod Taylor 8. Frank Reich 9. ==== Average QBs ==== 10. Drew Bledsoe 11. Ryan Fitzpatrick 12. ==== QBs that Suck ==== 13. Kyle Orton 14. Dennis Shaw 15. Daryl Lamonica 16. Trent Edwards 17. Thad Lewis 18. Rob Johnson 19. Kelly Holcomb 20. Bruce Matheson 21. Dan Manucci 22. Ed Ruthkowski 23. Vince Ferragamo 24. Alex Van Pelt 25. EJ Manuel 26. JP Losman 27. Todd Collins 28. Gary Marangi 29. Brian Brohm 30. Billy Joe Holbert 31. Jeff Tuel We are interested in hearing any comments...

Kirby Jackson Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Thad, Trent and Fergy too high, Lamonica is too low. I also think that there should be a below average starter tier for guys like Orton. They didn't suck but weren't average. For the most part though I like what you guys did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reks Ryan Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Interesting list. Shows you why the Bills have lost more than they've won. Bruce Matheson was pretty bad, should be below JP. Lamonica should go up several spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Kemp before Ferguson Reich should probably be in the average QBs Taylor is good? After less than a full season? Flute is too high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Billy Joe is ranked too high. Billy Joe should not even be listed as "==== QBs that Suck ====" Billy Joe should should be listed as "==== QBs that did not even try ====" Thad is ranked kind of high. Agree. EJ should be ranked higher despite disdain on this board - 19 TDs in 16 games is a lot better than Thad Lewis and a lot above him could accomplish. It is a political ranking.

Marty McFly Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Solid list. I was watching an NFL Network show and old Bills guys were talking about why they drafted Frank. They said it was because he played his best in high pressure situations. Damn they were rite. Reich was one of the best back up QBs of all time at least in a Bills uni.

That's No Moon Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Vince Ferragamo and Bruce Mathison are not nearly low enough. Joe Dufek is last and will always be last until the Bills start an actual dead person at QB. How about Brian McClure, are we not counting strike scabs? Dennis Shaw was Offensive ROY in 1970 so that automatically puts him ahead of a bunch of guys. Lamonica absolutely positively did not suck. My grandmother would tell you until the day she died about how pissed off she was when they traded him to Oakland. Others missing: Matt Cassel Leo Hart Dan Darragh James Harris Kay Stephenson Tom Flores Warren Rabb Al Dorow Johnny Green MC Reynolds Tommy O"Connell Bob Brodhead and Richie Lucas (our 1st ever draft choice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsLux Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Excellent Job with the list. Agree with Fergy near the top of the list. Never got his due. A few months ago, actually watched a YouTube replay of the 1980-81 playoff game against the chargers that we lost. In that game alone, Fergy, with a broken foot, through more 20 yard darts over the middle of the field then we've seen in total over the last 5 years (a tad of an exaggeration, but you get the point).A guy who had an arm, could throw to a spot, and was tough.
