I think this player has to be a non QB starter.

 

Im going with the “Punt Catcher” Chris Watson.

 

Eddie Robinson was a close second because I’ll never get the image of him getting his ankles broken by Chad Pennington out of my head.

My vote goes to Chris Watson.  He was my most hated Bill ever.

Elam is nowhere near being one of the worst players ever for the Bills.

 

Flowers & Maybin are easy choices, and justified too.

 

For me, I'll go with someone that many have probably forgotten, with good reason. Cornell Green.

I was actually going to post Cornell Green.  I couldn’t believe this is what they came up with in 2010. Since Cornell Green was taken I’ll have to go with “zero catch radius” Donald Jones and Jason Croom.

James Hardy, Aaron Maybin, Erik Flowers, Mike Williams. 

 

I don't think he was the worst....but considering everything....Sammy Watkins ....

 

Going to second Hobert ...that episode w the playbook ....woof.

Donald Jones? Wasn't he a scrappy udfa we really liked and played w a lot of heart and toughness?. I was sad he never took off- but far far from deserving of mention here.

I’m going to say it was EJ. I think the fact that he had expectations and never got any better is why. Was he worse than a 3rd string CB that never saw the field? No. All things considered, where we drafted him, the fact that his best play was his first 2 games and he only got worse…the guy was terrible. I hated that 13 season so much because he just ruined it.

You’re all doing it again, talking about an All Time list and ignoring the 60’s and 70’s.  How about gems like Dan Darraugh, Phil Dokes, Walt Patulski?  Tommy O’Connell?

Mike Williams and Aaron Maybin are probably the biggest top 15 pick busts, especially since they contributed to the 17 yr drought and those high pick whiffs killed the Bills chance to get better. 

 

But Nate Peterman is a good choice, given how bad he was and yet McDermott kept starting him (even over rookie Josh). 

 

McGahee has to get some love for the way he left the Bills too

As others have said, it's hard to argue against Peterman or Maybin for this title.  There's been others along the way that were probably equally bad or worse, but they were likely completely inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.  For instance, I have this vague memory of a cornerback (possibly a backup or dime back) whose name escapes me that played in Gailey era (I think) that would seemingly give up a huge play every time he saw the field.

EJ wasn't handled the best by the coaching staff at the time.  I tended to be a pro EJ guy until I couldn't...

 

That being said your take is fair

Like the reasoning for both.  Mike WIlliams and Marcell were probably the two highest picks that got paid and weren't worth it.  Marcell had his moments and was probably an average player but what he was making as the #3 overall pick, he needed to be a game wrecker and never even came close.

Expand  

If you label Marcell as a bust, you must also label Ed Oliver as one, if you're only considering statistics and accolades, not work ethic. Dareus peaked after year six, while Oliver is hopefully just beginning.

Chris Ivory was atrocious for the Bills, Mike Tolbert, Bryce Brown, Kelvin Benjamin...

 

What about Al Cowlings?

 

Vlad Ducasse...Kelly Stoffer...

Expand  

Chris Ivory made plays in the Minnesota Josh Allen hurdle game. He was washed but no way he was atrocious IMO

Billy Joe Hobert. He had a very kush job as long as he wasn’t called on.

Expand  

This is the only answer. For the hype he got to be a reasonable backup, a potential impact player as a one day starter - the dude was a bum.
