patfitz Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Who do you think was a better QB for his day/era Jack Kemp or Ryan Fitzpatrick?
DFITZ1 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Of course Jack Kemp. Championships anyone?
beerme1 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I thought I was goona be glad when the season started! All this off season board stuff.
xsoldier54 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 This one isn't even close. Jack Kemp was a very good QB. Fitz is pathetic.
Shoutbox Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Who do you think was a better QB for his day/era Jack Kemp or Ryan Fitzpatrick? Oooooooooooh, that's a tough one. You done gone and leave me befuddled, patfitz. How about this one? Elbert Dubenion versus Marcus Easley. Discuss.
DefenseWins Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Doug Flutie at least was entertaining to watch... Although I remember a game at the old rockpile where Kemp came in relief and was booed unmercifully by the crowd... All of a sudden Kemp throws a deep bomb for a TD and the crowd is cheering him as he walked off the field...
bowery4 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Jack was a damned good Qb. Too bad for us RW learned that drafting a Qb high wasn't important and almost always stayed away from it. The not having a decent back up also comes from the Kemp era.

Dennis in NC Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 What is rather bizarre about the Bills not drafting QBs high is that Jim Kelly was not the Bills first pick that year. He was a 1st round pick alright, but another 1st rounder preceded him. You old timers will know who that top pick was.

I'm not exactly an old timer but that was around the time that my rabid fandom began.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Who do you think was a better QB for his day/era Jack Kemp or Ryan Fitzpatrick? Seriously? Fitz isn't good now, how is there any comparison.
dwight in philly Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) easily jack kemp, no comparision to fitz, kemp belongs in the same category as fergy, Edited September 13, 2012 by dwight in philly
Chandler#81 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Jackie rarely completed 50% of his pass attempts and was an Int.- tossing machine. I'm not sure -without checking- he was even 50% for his whole career.. Granted, it was a different era, but by this important stat, Fitzpatrick is significantly better. Both played on numerous teams and Kemp washed out in the then NFL. At his very best, Kemp still threw an insane amount of picks and was splitting reps w/ Darryl - nearly losing the starting gig. Who's a better QB? Ryan Fitz'gerald'.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Johnny U and Bart Starr oh you meant for the Bills - my bad still not sold on Fitz. sure he's got a lot of passing yards, more than Kelly (in the given time span) BUT for a reason they are COME FROM BEHIND yardage #'s Edited September 13, 2012 by BillsFan-4-Ever
Homer Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 One thing I remember about Kemp was that he seemed to be unorthodox...on third and 1, even though he had Cookie Gilchrist, he would throw long an inordinate mount of times. Loved that about him. He bounced around alot in the NFL but he was good here. I remember when he went for congress he had had a few bad seasons and the bumper stickers read, "vote Kemp for congress or he'll go back into football". So my long answer is Kemp because he won 2 championships and almost took us to the first superbowl.
Marv's Neighbor Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Seriously? Fitz isn't good now, how is there any comparison. Jack's dead??

Who's a better QB? Ryan Fitz'gerald'. Just a guess but I think we might find completion percentages down across the board from that era. Wide hashes and bump and run all over the field made for some tight fields out there. GO BILLS!!!
Rocky Landing Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Who do you think was a better QB for his day/era Jack Kemp or Ryan Fitzpatrick? Which do you think is a better trolling lure: the Yozuri Hydro Magnum, or the Sea Stryker Jet Head?
BuffBill Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Who do you think was a better QB for his day/era Jack Kemp or Ryan Fitzpatrick? Who do you think was better for his day? Jim Kelly or Kelly Holcomb?
