Who is the worst Bills QB of all-time?

[smokinandjokin]

He's not even in my top 5...

GOLD 1970-75: Dennis Shaw

Hard to believe that with incredible stats like that, this guy has zero votes! Not enough old timers on the board, apparently!

[Albany,n.y.]

Didn't Ferragamo have a 5 TD and 21 INT season for the Bills? I believe he did....that was arguably the worst season for a starting QB in Bills history! YUCK!!

It was 5 tds 17 ints according to the 1986 Bills' media guide. He also was cut during the season, so it really wasn't the worst season for a starting QB, maybe the worst part season for a Bills starting QB.

Gotta wonder how different this poll would look if Billy Joe Gunrack lasted more than half a game

[RJ (not THAT RJ)]

Has to be Marangi.  The people called for him from the stands. When he finally played, he basically cut himself.

Amen, brother... I can't believe folks would chant Marangi's name (Bills fans treated Joe Ferguson like absolute schitt for years, booing him mercilessly....)... then in 1976 when Fergy went down, Marangi was beyond putrid... even losing a couple of games when OJ ran for more than 200 yards because he was so freakin' lame...

 

Then when the Bills tried to trade him to GB, he failed his physical.... Ugh.

I'm 27. I don't remember anything before Kelly. That said, RJ. Blew a wad of cash on him, he had no heart. Great physically, but stunk up the mental game. Throw in the So. Cal. attitude, and he just seems like he deserves my vote.

 

TC was a tool, too. Close second.

Anyone remember a loser named, Billy Joe Hobert?

Poll shows minimum 200 attempts, which BJH didn't come close to. and yes, scroll up a couple posts...

Speaking of Reich, is there a cooler record to own than the greatest comebacks in both NCAA and NFL history?

Yeah and now he is the PASTOR of a church!

Fergy did suck back then though, and Marangi looked good coming off the bench, much more exciting of a player anyways. What a brutal disappointment when he finally started.

 

Still, Dan Darragh is the worst on the list IMO, but I voted for Drew on principle.

[nucci]

How can you put Reich in there? Also do not forget Joe Dufek in 1985.

[NotStuckonStupid]

Dennis Shaw by far. Still have the image in my head of him getting sacked and laying flat on his back looking up to the Sky.

[Olaf Fub]

My pick, Oh my God! Todd Collins.

 

The clowns in the mid-eighties were pretty bad also.

 

My Father, who has had season tickets since 1960 has nominated MC Reynolds or Al Dorow. (the pre Jack Kemp era)

The @ssman...RJ.

[Sen. John Blutarsky]

Ferragamo was so bad he was acquired and discarded in about half a season, for anyone who said Mathison was the worst, Mathison actually REPLACED Ferragamo. He was actually improvement, at least he could run (he was an option QB in college so he ran alot), but he threw like crap. Ferragamo couldn't do either one.

Somehow Dennis Shaw was the NFL rookie of the year in 1970, so he either had one halfway decent year on a crap team or there weren't any rookies of consequence in 1970 and they picked his name out of a hat.

 

Either way, the Bills haven't had too many ROYs in their history so I think that gets him off the hook as the worst QB we ever had. It doesn't mean he was good, but Ferragamo, Mathison, Dufek, Kofler, Marangi, Darragh...these men weren't even close towinning any kind of award.

Plus Ferragamo couldn't remember the plays and had to look at a wristband with them on it for every single play.

Ferragamo had an arm and talent, he just didn't want to be here and was on the downside of his career after breaking his hand. Mathison replaced him because he couldn't beat him out. Mathison was horrible. Ferragamo threw 30 TDs in one season in the NFL, and won an NFC championship and played in a Super Bowl, he didn't totally suck. He was a total scumbag, however.

[Beerball]

Gary Marangi, hands down. I remember being at a game, sorry don't remember the particulars. Marangi over threw his receiver on an out pattern. Unfortunately, he also overthrew me and I was several rows up.

[true_blue_bill]

I voted for RJ just because he seemed to hold a lot of promise and was such a flop. I guess Vince Farrragamo was about the same though. Bruce Mathison was awful! Anyone Rember Dan Manuchi? He was so bad Ferguson had to stay in the playoff game at San Diego with San Diego in 1980 with a broken ankel. Defense played a great game but Fergy couldn't get us moving on a broken leg. Damn gutsy performance. Coulda won the super bowl that year

[bdelma]

Joe Dufek, Hobert, Manucci, Stephenson just a few you forgot.
