Top 10 Hated Players of all time by Bills fans

Re: Top 10 Hated Players of all time by Bills fans

I just don't see how you can hate Losman. So he wasn't good, but he wasn't a dick about it. He tried REALLY hard, I'm sure. He wanted to be good more than we all did. And for sucking and disappointing the fans, he got canned and out of the league for it. Remember he was "all in"? Bought a house in downtown when nobody else did? Why the hate?

No he didn't. He had an ego. He bought a house to try and cash in on all the ass he was planning on getting. He was horrible and lazy.
Trent Edwards wasn't as talented but he put forth an effort and players actually rallied around him. Losman was the opposite, he blew it all up and it took years to repair.

I understand not hating players for sucking, but Losman was a special kind of disaster.

I never really hated any Bills players but you reminded me how much I despised Trent Edwards.

He put forth the effort and players rallied around him ? Huh ? Every sideline shot had him sitting by himself at the end of the bench fussing with his hair. In close games ? There he was, by himself, not in the middle of his offense or prowling the sidelines. I remember him not paying attention to the lone offensive assistant trying to show him something in a close game. Edwards just stared blankly at the field, smoothing his hair.

Remember that time Clay Matthews sacked him ? Looked like he was screwing Edwards when he braced himself on Trent's back shoving his nose into the turf before doing his pose. The o-line didn't rush over in defense, they stood and watched, hands on hips.

And just so because he wouldn't just freaking throw the ball, even away if he had to. Play after play, game after game, he was compelled to complete the checkdown behind the line of scrimmage to a swarmed back, or the 3rd and 8 one yard pass to a swarmed back, or take the hideous sack before timidly getting back up and going to the sidelines to sit on the edge of the bench by himself to redo his hair.

I've never seen a QB so timid and less defended by his teammates, because he didn't defend them, it was never his fault, he convinced himself he was "taking" what they gave and if it didn't work, and most often it didn't, well he did was he was supposed to.

Oh Trent Edwards was a special kind of abysmal in his own right.

I just don't see how you can hate Losman. So he wasn't good, but he wasn't a dick about it.

Even his mother thought he was a dick.

Troy Vincent broke his leg because he was a dick.

He got his coaches fired because he was a dick.

And when the Bills let him go finally, NO ONE ELSE IN THE LEAGUE offered him even a Waterboy's job.

Because he was a dick.

And all his fans? The Losmaniacs?

They were dicks too. It's why they liked him.

I don't know what shiva's continued infatuation with Losman is, but Losman was more about a horrible decision in the pick than it was about the player. Players often don't work. But reaching to take Losman effectively ended Tom Donahoe's career as a GM (he never worked again). And Aaron Rodgers seems very happy in Green Bay. But I can still see him in Red, White and Blue.

The end of TD's career wasn't solely about the Losman pick. In 2005--TD's last year--the Bills had become an aging team with a bad record, and little young talent. The Bills hadn't yet given up on Losman when the decision was made to pull the plug on TD. Put another way: TD's handling of non-QB positions was bad enough to get him fired even before taking into account the Losman bust.

In the 2006 draft Marv Levy didn't take any QBs, even though he could have had Jay Cutler. I'm not saying Cutler is Hall of Fame material or anything, but he's certainly a big upgrade over Losman! Instead of taking Cutler 8th overall, Marv chose to use the pick on SS Donte Whitner.

Initially TD had wanted to trade up for Roethlisberger, but decided Houston's asking price was too high. He felt comfortable with his Plan B, which was to draft Losman. Drafting Losman also (apparently) meant not drafting Aaron Rodgers in 2006, or Jay Cutler in 2007. Losman was a GM killer and a coach killer. I realize it's not Losman's fault that the Bills had third-rate GMs during his time with the team. But we really, really took it on the chin because of that one player. We could have had a top-5 ever QB (Aaron Rodgers) had it not been for Losman.

Aaron Rodgers is not a Top 5 of all time QB.

Re: Top 10 Hated Players of all time by Bills fans

Aaron Rodgers is not a Top 5 of all time QB.

Aaron Rodgers has achieved a career rating of 7.9 yards per pass attempt, compared to 7.5 for Joe Montana and 7.5 for Tom Brady. Rodgers has six 4000 yard seasons, compared to none for Montana and eight for Brady. (Brady has been in the league five years longer than Rodgers.) I'm not a big fan of QB rating, but for what it's worth Rodgers has a career QB rating of 104.1, compared to 97.2 for Brady and 92.3 for Montana.

I'm far more interested in a QB's pocket passing than I am in his rushing. That said, Rodgers averaged 5.1 yards a carry, compared to 1.8 yards per carry for Brady and 3.7 for Montana.

Rodgers also produced the best quarterbacking performance I've ever seen. It was the Super Bowl: Green Bay against Pittsburgh. Green Bay's offensive line was getting completely dominated by the Steelers. The Packers couldn't run the ball, and they couldn't stop the run. Despite receiving almost no pass protection whatsoever, Rodgers made one inaccurate throw the whole game. One. (Which fell incomplete.) Every throw other than that one was basically perfect. To the right target, and thrown about as accurately as a football can be thrown. I've never seen any other QB have a performance like that even with good pass protection. But when a QB has to run for his life practically every single play, and still manages to put up a performance like that, it's something. Johnny Unitas, Joe Montana, or Tom Brady wouldn't have won that Super Bowl for Green Bay.

In a way I am glad Cosineau said F you to us as he became Jim Kelly. So really it was all good.

Aaron Rodgers isn't even the best QB in his team's history...maybe not even #2...let alone top 5 of all time.
