(Brain Dead Drew vs. Eagles, 2003) I found a Bledsoe highlight vid with all his Bills TDs and it was easy to forget for a moment that he was about as bad as most of the other QBs we had during the drought.

He did have a great year of pitch and catch with Moulds and Price that one year...when both had 1000 yard seasons....Alas, he couldn't get wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA OC Bills Fan Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Sorry if this was already pointed out, but I read a little under half the replies. In the season opener of 2015, Matt Cassel took the 1st snap as QB. Therefore, 2015 is Cassel (1), Taylor (13), EJ (2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) I'd say of the list Tyrod was probably my favorite. Fitz had his moments but the 4th quarter INTs were always an issue here. Tyrod was boring, it was a lot of punting but he made that shady rushing offense better. He got sacked a lot, but he usually limited the lost yards and balanced it with more rushing yards (almost all through scrambles) and helping as a rz rushing threat. Tyrods 2016 game against miami when buffalo was... barely breathing playoff wise was a fantastic effort too. Looking at the box score too - Go for the win on 4th and 2 with 4 minutes left in OT, you need the W. Edited August 5, 2021 by dneveu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrod is back with David Culley as his head coach. Who knows what happens with Deshaun Watson? And Davis Mills certainly isn't ready to start. It's very possible Tyrod plays and leads that tanking team to a 7-9 record or something like that. Hey, his strangely adequate play didn't destroy the Bills' rebuild after all. Maybe he'll do the same in Houston. Just not on Week 4 at Buffalo please. (But I'm hoping he trots out on the field to a huge ovation!)

I was at his first game in the NFL and we beat the ever-loving sh*t out of him that day. He wasn't consistent, but he sure was tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) I remember that before Peterman's 1st start in LA there were posts across various Bills message boards, including here, where fans were talking of Peterman being so good that the Bills wouldn't have to use a draft pick on a QB and could use all those picks in the 1st & 2nd round to build the team around the latest savior, Nathan Peterman. They clearly thought he was an upgrade from Tyrod. My position was that I was very skeptical of Peterman & before his 1st start I started calling him Nathan Marangi. I was at the LA game & at halftime I found a quiet spot away from the stands to call my friend Petrino & laugh at Peterman. One game wasn't enough & he ruined another road trip for me by starting the Baltimore 2018 season opener. I was so glad when Josh came in, in the 2nd half. The only game he wasn't a total disaster was the snow game vs Indy that I never saw because I was in the hospital & the Bills weren't on TV in Albany that day. For the record, it wasn't Peterman's play in LA that put me in the hospital that December. 😄 Here's a good one from the archives: 11/15/2017 - The day that changed the entire course of history for this franchise - The Stadium Wall Archives - Two Bills Drive I found this on another board dated 11/19/2017 To: Gary Marangi From: Albany,n.y. Dear Mr. Marangi, please accept my apologies for comparing Nate Peterman to you. You were a much better QB. I will never call him Nathan Marangi again, his new name is Nathan 1987 Manucci. He has now attained the status of being compared with a strike player who threw 0 TDs & 2 INTs with a 3.8 passer rating in a strike game. Edited August 6, 2021 by Albany,n.y.
