KellyToughII Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I thought this would be a fun topic to banter about. How would you rank the starting QB's we have had since Jimbo retired? Boy, is this list cringe worthy... Todd Collins Alex Van Pelt Doug Flutie Rob Johnson Drew Bledsoe JP Losman Kelly Holcomb Trent Edwards Ryan Fitzpatrick Brian Brohm EJ Manuel Thad Lewis Jeff Tuel Kyle Orton Matt Cassel Tyrod Taylor I would say my top 5 would be: Bledsoe, Fitz, Tyrod, Flutie, Trent Bottom of the barrel: Brohm, Tuel, Cassel GO BILLS!! Why? It like asking which pile of crap is better than the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Flutie Taylor Fitz Bledsoe Orton I beg you guys to go back and look at Bledsoe's Bills tenure after the 1st half of the 1st year. He was AWFUL. We remember his tenure way more fondly than we should. But maybe that says more about the competition than it does about Bledsoe? I mean, the fact that a guy put up a really good half season as a Bills starting QB causes him to be remembered as the best of the last couple decades? EDIT: ok, I had to look. Bledsoe's first year, Game 12, Dolphins (ahead of us in the standings at the time): 38-21 win. 15-27, 306, 3 TDs, 132.6 QBR. I thought it was a big win. In the end, it was just a win.

He was AWFUL. We remember his tenure way more fondly than we should. Yep. I'd take your top 3 as-is, make Orton #4, and then cut off the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 It's sad that people have to select Orton. It is what it is. Put 2014 Orton on the 2004 Bills, and there's no drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NeckBeard Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 This is a definitive list of Buffalo Bills passers. You can edit out by years and filter out QBs and such in Excel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just went back and did the numbers after his first 8 starts (he had 48 total with the Bills).
