QBs After Kelly

[RockStar36]

Someone posted a poll a while back about who has been the worst QB for the Bills since Kelly and it sparked a little debate. I've had some free time recently so I decided to do a little research on those quarterbacks and their time spent in Buffalo. Honestly, the numbers are somewhat surprising.

For the sake of having some conversation and not just posting the numbers, lets stretch this out for part of the day.

Does anybody want to give a shot as to who had the best winning percentage as a starter and who was the worst?

I'd also like to note it will be easier to throw Holcomb, Van Pelt, and Collins out of the mix since they all started less than 20 games in Buffalo. This will make the comparison much more fair between the others.

Re: QBs After Kelly

You guys are on the right path...kinda.

Flutie had the best winning percentage as a starer (.700) posting a 21-9 record. Edwards is next with an 11-9 record. The rest are all below .500.

Bledsoe is the best of the worst with a 23-25 record followed by Johnson (9-17) and Losman (10-21). Losman has one more win but with more games started Johnson has the better winning percentage.

If I were to include the "thrown away" quarterbacks only Van Pelt would have posted a worse winning percentage than Losman.

Anyone wanna guess completion percentage and QB rating?

Re: QBs After Kelly

Johnson's the highest-rated, right?

Johnson's the highest-rated, right?

Yep. He also had the third best touchdown to interception ratio. Guess who is the worst td/int ratio.

I'm not surprised. Hard to throw INTs when you're throwing sideways to Larry Centers most of the time because you're too gay to take chances throwing downfield.

Re: QBs After Kelly

This isn't quite working out the way I wanted but oh well.

You're wrong DB.

Edwards has the worst with -1. He has thrown for 17 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. Obviously that is bound to change this season.

Losman would be next with 2 more TDs than INTs.

Johnson had 10, Bledsoe had 12, and Flutie had 17.

So basically if Edwards can finish the season with +3 or better ratio that would make Losman the worst in that category.

Re: QBs After Kelly

I would have said Flutie.

Re: QBs After Kelly

I would have said Flutie.

Flutie had 47 touchdowns to only 30 interceptions.

It's the same number of picks that Losman has thrown in 1 less game started (same amount played), however it's far more touchdowns. Only Bledsoe threw more (55) but also started in 18 more games (9 played) .
