BringBackFergy Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Yes. I say there's good reason to have him up there. * Name another Bills QB who had us on the brink of the playoffs in the last 12 years. * 12 games played for 3018 yards (extrapolate those numbers to a full 16 games and we're talking 4000 yards in a full season) * QBR of 87.8 * 15 rushes, 14 yards with a long of 10 yards in 12 games (extrapolate that to a full season and he would have easily had over 100) * 18 TD's and 10 INT's is a ratio of 2 to 1...extrapolate that over a full season and he would have had 24 TD's * Mental toughness and team leader * If we had him as a rookie in 2005 he probably would have surpassed Kelly (or come close) if you extrapolate his stats from 2014 over the course of nine NFL seasons. I'm not saying he is a lock to get a place on the stadium Wall of Fame, but the team should give full consideration to his credentials both as a player and team leader considering how he came in a led our team to its best record in a very long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolishDave Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Football stats matter Dave. There's guys on that wall that were in it for money...and some have even served a prison sentence. How long did he play for the Bills? That is a rhetorical question. And that alone excludes him from the wall. It would be an insult to the existing names on the wall. Why not give everyone a participation trophy? taylor had us a game out of the playoffs in week 16 of last year....... lets toss him name into the ring as well It would be more reasonable to put Taylor on there right now - rather than Orton. And putting Taylor there at this point would be insane. Football stats matter Dave. There's guys on that wall that were in it for money...and some have even served a prison sentence. Be honest. Is this thread some kind of joke? Sure smells like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 His dive in the Oakland game is wall worthy I'd suspect. It sure stood out 3 TD's, 329 yards...I'd say so.

K-9 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Absolutely. Plus,we need to retire his number. He is perhaps the best QB to ever lace 'em up for the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the other guys on that wall, and some guys not even on the wall, and see how a QB with one year of ok football that then quit on us makes it.

Please tell me you're not also the guy who said that losing a game to an NFC team improves the Bills' chances of making the playoffs? CBF I totally missed that. Hilarious.

Willyville Guy Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Merely adding his name to the Wall wouldn't capture his contribution to the team. I'd suggest instead converting this image to a statue outside the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in Atlanta Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Hell no. They system got us to 9-7. The guy had no desire to play football. You could see it in his eyes and demeanor. Seriously? That, and he played ONE year. On a larger note, how pathetic is this when fans are calling for a wall of fame slot for the only QB who happened to be QBing the one year out of two we have a winning record in 17 years.
