dollars 2 donuts Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) For a team that had OJ, and at a time that was much different, passing wise, it still does my heart a solid to see Fergy in the top 50. As of now he is 47th all time (29,817 yards), behind Randall Cunningham and just ahead of John Kitna. He is tied for 45th in TDs with 196. Sorry for the nostalgia trip, but since we are talking Bills QBs of the future I couldn't help but go to the deep past. EDIT (to include info from my post below): When he retired in 1990 he was 13th in yards and 15th in TDs. Edited April 24, 2018 by dollars 2 donuts 3

Billznut Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Loved Fergy. His numbers will be passed by a lot of QBs soon enough. Glad he’s still ranked as highly as he is.

Expand Let go by the Bills and then played another 5 seasons (injured I guess one year), in a mostly back up capacity, in Detroit, TB and Indy. A buddy of mine from Detroit said they loved him as the back up while he was there. Edited April 24, 2018 by dollars 2 donuts

Expand Looks like the next 3 to pass him room be Dalton, Newton, Wilson, don't see many others on the horizon, so he could be top 50 for a bit!! Also, I think today guys are given less chances to succeed, which might be why some of the older guys are still on there, like you have one bad year and it's time for the axe nowadays. 1
Fadingpain Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) Joe Ferguson. I was a boy when he played for the Bills, but my lingering image of him is something like him failing to convert a 3rd down pass, and walking off the field, undoing his chin strap, and hanging his head. I know the "head hanging" thing is a label frequently slapped on him, but it truly is an image I have of him. Edited April 24, 2018 by Fadingpain
napmaster Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Unfortunately he went to Detroit and almost got killed by the 85 Bears. Can you imagine a hit like that today?
SoCal Deek Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Always hated him....UNTIL...that performance in the playoffs when he limped around on one ankle for the entire game. That performance will forever change my opinion of Joe. One of the gutsiest things I've ever seen.

He only started a full season a handful of times and he never even had a 4,000 yard season. His career just screams "meh," to me.
