krf139 Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 People seem to forget how Flutie got us to the playoffs TWICE. I didn’t realize Wade Phillips was a poster on this board 2 Quote
billsfan_34 Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 Allen, Bledsoe, Flutie, Fitz, and then a lot of slop. Quote

Based on the list below rank the Bills starting QB’s since Jim Kelly retired. After Josh it’s a crap shoot and then the next five it gets really interesting. Here’s mine: Josh Allen Drew Bledsoe Kyle Orton Doug Flutie Tyrod Taylor Ryan Fitzpatrick Rob Johnson Kelly Holcomb EJ Manuel Trent Edwards J.P. Losman Todd Collins Matt Barkley Alex Van Pelt Matt Cassel Derek Anderson Thad Lewis Jeff Tuel Nathan Peterman Brian Brohm Expand What kind of bs is this. JOHNSON is better than Flutie. Always was, always will be.....dems fighting words... Flutie was way too flakey.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Why do people like Flutue 1. Cute little guy 2. He had a band 3. He had a cereal 4. He had 4 very good games in a row. 5. He played in Canadian football league. 6. In an interview he could express himself without saying "Dude" 7. Could be carried off the field by only 1 medic 8. When he gave away his game spikes to kids they were so small the 6 year old could wear them Now....don't take this to seriously......you flutie flakes...😉😉😉😉😉😉 1 Quote

MJS Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 I created a QB index awhile ago that looked at passing and rushing stats. I also included wins, playoff appearances, championships, etc. These are how the post Kelly era QB's rank in that index: Josh Allen Tyrod Taylor Doug Flutie Kyle Orton Drew Bledsoe Ryan Fitzpatrick Kelly Holcomb Trent Edwards Rob Johnson Thad Lewis Todd Collins JP Losman EJ Manuel Matt Barkley Alex Van Pelt Nathan Peterman Jeff Tuel Derek Anderson Brian Brohm On 10/17/2021 at 6:59 PM, BillsFanSD said: 1.

But he was not a good QB for the Bills. He was exciting because he threw the ball all over the place, but it was almost as likely to go to a defender as it was to a receiver. Fitz today is a much better QB than he was with the Bills. Tyrod Taylor was a better Bills QB than three of the four QB's you listed, in my opinion. Quote

I don't think he became any better when he went to the Jets or anywhere else Just had better talent around him 1 1 Quote

Keep in mind guys like Vince Young and Tim Tebow won more games than they lost as starting QB. Quote

That's partly on him. And I think if you were to ask him if he has been playing better in recent years than he did in Buffalo, he would say yes. He has made comments recently that he is playing the best football of his career. Quote

Expand He did thrown alot of picks but he wasn't surrounded by Great talent here He definitely elevated the WRs around him... He was the only QB who could get Stevie the ball .. made Scott Chandler viable He definitely was not the reason for being bad... Nobody is saying he was Pro bowl quality here Edited October 17, 2021 by Buffalo716 Quote
Rico Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 If either Flutie, TT, Fitz, or Orton (in their time as a Bill) was somehow the QB for the 2004 Bills, the Bills would’ve made the playoffs, the drought would’ve ended early, and TD’s career would not have been ruined. Quote

But he was bad overall in Buffalo. His play in the final 10 games in 2011 after the 5-1 start was third-stringer level. Quote
