Ranking Drought Starting QBs


Recommended Posts

  • Rob Johnson 
  • Alex Van Pelt
  • Drew Bledsoe
  • JP Losman
  • Kelly Holcomb
  • Trent Edwards
  • Ryan Fitzpatrick
  • EJ Manuel
  • Kyle Orton
  • Tyrod Taylor

Left out those who were never considered anything but backups filling in for injuries (Lewis, Tuel, etc.) and of course Cassel technically starting the first game. Rank Em.

Bledsoe

Fitz/Tyrod/Orton tied for first loser

 

then a pile of garbage we just push off the pier into lake erie.

 

Eight games then steadily down hill for Drew.  He simply did not pay off on the investment of a 1st round pick.

It was definitely a stupid trade. Sending a 1st to a division rival for a QB on his last leg.

 

But the team exacerbated it by putting a horrible OL in front of him. With a good OL, and scheming to pick up the non-stop blitzes DCs were sending, he could have last a little longer.

This list, it’s not so pretty... Tyrod first, the rest are tied for last

Using the Op's list, this is what I have: 

 

 

  • Drew Bledsoe (for his first 8 games or so) 
  • Rob Johnson 
  • Tyrod Taylor
  • Ryan Fitzpatrick
  • Alex Van Pelt
  • Trent Edwards
  • JP Losman
  • EJ Manuel
  • Kelly Holcomb
  • Kyle Orton  (would have been at the top, but you don't slide like he did when you need to win the game).

Bledsoe

Orton

Fitzpatrick

 

too painful to even begin thinking about anyone else on the list.

 

 

 

(Johnson apparently would have won the Super Bowl that season except for the Miracle TD against his near-win)

Swap Holcomb and Edwards and you have my list.

Did Shane Matthews ever start a game here?

 

Ok, upon review, zero starts but a 33.3 TD% and an Bills career QB rating of 149.3 cannot be ignored. 

 

This guy would be in the same “Kyle Orton for The Wall” discussion, if it weren’t for the impending prison sentence.

perhaps, but Edwards pre- or post concussion... pre- he's ahead, post, below.  That Arizona hit was the death of him.

No it wasn't. He wasn't that good to begin with. He was better than JP, but Trentative never once passed for 300 yards

He was ok, at best
