EersN'Bills Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) That's mind blowing. Especially considering the Bills have drafted such greats as Collins, Losman, Edwards and Manuel who have won them games since Kelly. Some teams just struggle drafting certain positions. The Ravens have never been able to draft a good WR under Ozzie. Edited December 28, 2017 by EersN'Bills
Buffalo86 Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Meanwhile, the last time the Patriots started a QB that they DIDN'T draft was 1993. That's 24 seasons.

Starting Seneca Wallace for a game in '13 (and starting Scott Tolzien the next 2 weeks) ended a streak that began in '92. Before that it was all Majkowski, Favre, Rodgers, & Flynn.

Regressing, that Rob Johnson switch,by Ralph Wilson,(partially based on that meaningless last game win) may have cost us a Super Bowl. Flutie was, by far, a better QB, and I believe there never would have been a Music City Miracle. Picking that clown up with a number one was arguably one of the largest mistakes this franchise has ever made. I did agree with everything stated here except Ralph’s influence on the decision. EVERY THING.

Johnson played great and if not for that miracle.... And now you want to give Flutie a Super Bowl? I would have settled for one playoff game where he didn’t suck out here and lose.

If he leads them to victory, he’ll be the first quarterback drafted by the Chiefs to win a game since Todd Blackledge That is crazy! Blackledge last won a game for the Chiefs early in the 1987 season...its been more than 30 years!!

He was something like 10 of 25 for 100 yards and was Jevon Kearses ragdoll all game.

But there are some similarities. Smith hasn't been wonderful this year despite the leading the team to the playoffs. Flutie wasn't great when he got replaced. To be clear, I don't think he should have been replaced. Didn't Flynn for the Packers toss 6 TDs against the Lions the one year and signed a big contract with the Seahawks.... as they drafted Russell Wilson?

That is true if memory serves. But that is more similar to how we got Johnson in the first place. He had a great last start of the season for the jags and looked like a qb.

Right - all of those guys have played and won games for the Chiefs since Todd Blackledge - none were drafted by them.
