Who is your favorite back up Bills player of all time?

[Royale with Cheese]

Someone that was predominantly a back up and only spot starter.  So someone like Ryan Fitzpatrick doesn't count because he became a full time starter.

 

RIP big guy!

Yep - Best back up QB in NFL history. How many stress-related infirmities did he save by his mere existence?

Not so sure about that.  Most people forget that the 17-0 Fish had a backup quarterback (Earl Morall) playing for most of the season because Griese was hurt.

I'll give 2 because my favorite did become a pro bowl starter. Pat Williams was a backup for his 1st 4 years. They called it "The Package" when he and Ted Washington would line up on the same DL. Talk about immovable. 

 

Since Williams did become a starter later in his career I would go with Frank Reich. I mean it's hard to pick anyone else.

Obviously Frank Reich should be #1... I thought that Coy Wire was a solid special teams player while he was here, filled in pretty well when he had to... Wyatt Teller seems to be making a name for himself in Cleveland... Jabari Greer was a backup throughout most of his time here... went on to win a Super Bowl with the Saints... Kyle Orton came here as a backup and won the starting job... mediocre QB but the best we’ve had in a while up to that point... John DiGiorgio was a backup here through most of his time here but had one really good season as a starter... Arthur Moats is also another backup guy who had a few nice seasons as a starter.. I’m sure there’s others I’m forgetting...

The perfect combination of charisma and poise is really the only answer here.

The greatest Pakistani/Palestinian/Kuwaiti QB of all time.

[Al.B]

wow that is tough since I've been a fan since 1960. But John Tracy , Robert James will always be special to me

[BillsFanSD]

This thread needs to be "Besides Frank Reich, who is . . . "

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Does Fred Jackson count? He was a starter for a while but also backup to Lynch and others.

 

I will offer a few.

Robb Riddick

Kenneth Davis

Jerry Butler in 1986. He was backup to Reed and Burkett. Kelly and Butler had a connection but he broke his ankle on TD catch

 

 

[Kwai San]

Kenny Davis for me....Frank also but Kenny was awesome spelling TT from time to time.....probably prolonged TT's years a bit....

[clayboy54]

Daryle Lamonica, without any doubt. If only we had kept him...

These are the obvious ones....

The only answers should be Brandon Reily and Da’Rick Rodgers people. Oh how we wasted those talents.
