BuffaloBill Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 So who would you say was the worst QB to start and play at least one regular season game for the Bills?
Freddie's Dead Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Dan Darragh, and it's not close for 2nd place.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Did BJH start one? Teul comes to recent memory
KD in CA Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Leo Hart, 1972 stat line: 6-15-53-0-3 and sacked 4 times. 0-1 as a starter.
Red Squirrel Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 I only remember back to '75 so I can't say anything about Darragh and Hart, so my vote goes to Bruce Mathison, with Totten DQ'd because the games he played in were a joke and should have been erased from the records as soon as the real players came back. If Mathison tried to spike the ball, there was a good chance he'd miss the ground.

If Mathison tried to spike the ball, there was a good chance he'd miss the ground. Can't be Bruce Mathison. He played too many games and the OP's criteria was one game. So, as the QB that played the worst in the fewer games wins out. Get the logic. Mathison sucked, but like the previous poster said, it isn't even close for second: http://www.nfl.com/player/brucemathison/2520334/careerstats http://www.nfl.com/player/dandarragh/2512467/profile But... Fair enough since you only go back to 1975. Bills go back to 1959 (1960). If it wasn't for Dan, Bills wouldn't have took OJ? Leo Hart, 1972 stat line: 6-15-53-0-3 and sacked 4 times. 0-1 as a starter. I guess you are right! 7.6 passer rating... Ding Ding, we have a winner. And fewer, the ultimate, games! (1 as starter)! http://www.nfl.com/player/leohart/2516029/profile EDIT: Leo might get DQ'd... Stats show him NOT starting any games. I will have to cross-check this. EDIT (2): Leo is back on top. Shows him starting one game! LoL http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HartLe00.htm
Sandy McFiddish Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 It was at least one game and not specific to how many games, I was going with Bruce Mathison as well.
OldTimer1960 Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 If have to throw Gary Marangi's name into this competition. In 11 games in 1976, Marangi's completed 35% of his passes with 7 TDs and 16 INTS.
eball Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Bob Brodhead (1960): 4 games, 1 start, 1-0 (!!!), 7/25 for 75 yards, 3 INT -- QB rating 0.0
Canadian Bills Fan Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Bob Brodhead (1960): 4 games, 1 start, 1-0 (!!!), 7/25 for 75 yards, 3 INT -- QB rating 0.0 Hard to argue with those kind of stats CBF

/dev/null Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 There's alot of candidates to choose from In recent memory, Travis Brown and Brian Brohm
BuffaloBill Posted July 19, 2016 Author Posted July 19, 2016 There's alot of candidates to choose from In recent memory, Travis Brown and Brian Brohm Yeah it's hard to believe that Brohm was supposed to be such a great pickup. While he was not consistently horrible Trentative also just crashed and burned. I really think with him the skills were there but the desire was not. He took that viscious hit in the Cardinals game and was never the same again.
Seasons1992 Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Billie Joe Hobert and Brian Brohm were horrific.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Billie Jo Playbook. It's not even a contest.
Kirby Jackson Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Billy Joe Hobert for me. They've had some terrible players start a game but I think that a guy that didn't even know the plays takes the cake.
Dave in Avon Lake now Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 I'm going with Bruce Mathison. I lived in Miami from 1983-86 when Marino was killing it at QB and we had Mathison. I looked up his stats that season 4 TDs 14 interceptions 49% completion rate 22 sacks. We were getting beat up so bad in those days it was hard to be a Bills fan (especially with Kelly tearing it up in the USFL. Maybe I should change that to worst QB combo in 1985 as Ferragamo was just as bad 5 Tds 17 interceptions and 51% completion percentage. I don't know how he won 2 games.
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) He won the game Exactly, automatically DQ'd from your op. Player wins... All stats can be zero and they are still the greatest thing since sliced bread! Edited July 19, 2016 by ExiledInIllinois
