I am a little biased because I never saw the other two play, maybe some of the older Rumblers will think differently.
Kemp would be a solid pick also, but I would be shocked if it’s not #12.

Being one of the old timers to have seen every Bills QB there isn’t any question that it is Kelly. The interesting stat are those of Kemp, had no idea he was that bad but he did win. We wern’t as focusist on stats in those days (did we win)all we had was the newspaper to follow the team, if you wanted to talk football you had to call someone. Enough down memory lane. Fergy was looked at as more of a caretaker of the offence don’t do things to lose hand off to OJ and make the pass if you had too

Thanks:)

can we do an all time flop team

I am a huge bills fan but to say that Jim Kelly was one of the greatest might be a little far fetched. There is no way he would fall into the top 10. Manning and Brady are better right now than Kelly ever was. I would like some clarification on why Kelly is one of the NFL’s greatest.

Jimbo’s the reason I became a Bills fan, so I gotta vote for him.

RB will be equally lopsided for Thomas. The only way I would vote for OJ is if it was to decide whether to use the electric chair (which is my vote, the irony is undeniable) or lethal injection to put him out of our misery.

it’s Jim Kelly. regardless of whether he won the big game or not, the Bills have never had a run of seasons like they had in the late 80’s to early 90’s. He was a big reason for that success and the sustainability of the fanbase during one of the longest losing stretches in team history (hopefully that will end this year!!!).

Andre Reed, Eric Moulds, and James Lofton. Am I missing anyone?

definitley the easiest choice of this series. Gotta go Jimbo! Man I miss his LB mentality.

A quick did you know:

As most people know, Jim Kelly grew up in the QB factory that is Western Pennsylvania. While being heavily recruited in high school, his dream was to play QB for Joe Paterno at Penn State (my alma mater). However, JoePa heavily recruited him to play LB at Penn State and the scholarship offer was only for defense, not QB. Jimbo, of course went on to star at QB for the Miami Hurricanes. Ironically, his first game for Miami was against Penn State in Happy Valley. Miami won 26-10.

Jim Kelly was the Best Ever QB in a Bills Uni.
Honorable Mention to Doug Flutie.

...a Joe Ferguson fan. I remember when I was 10 and living at the Colonial Manor apartment complex in West Seneca when Ferguson and another Bills rookie (LB John Skorupan) rented an apartment there after being drafted (rookie contracts were smaller in 1973). I tried everything to catch their eye. My father, being the wonderful salesman that he was, managed to get the both of them over for dinner and games. I had this light-box football game with offensive and defensive plays printed on sheets. You would put them face down, turn on the light and if a defender cut off the path of the ball, that was where the play ended (or it was an incomplete pass). Fergy and I played for at least an hour. Somewhere my mother still has a polaroid picture of Fergy, Skorupan and I sitting together in our apartment as well as one where my father is pouring a whole mug of beer down Skorupan’s throat. There is no single player in football history that I personally admire more than Joe Ferguson. He played in the playoffs against Dan Fouts’ Chargers with a broken ankle that no one but him and the training staff knew about and still almost won the game. He was a decent man, a humble man and a damn fine quarterback even when he was hanging his head after a bad play.

I still voted for Kelly.

Football is a team sport. QB’s get too much of the credit for wins (Aikman) or too much of the credit for losses (Kelly). A play or three different – by a team – and Kelly might easily have two rings.

While i grew up idolizing Fergie, and his present fight only makes me admire him more, Kelly, for the spirit and will he inspired – stats aside.

Flutie? Good grief. The hero in all his own stories. Locker room cancer. As self serving as TO but not as brave to throw it out there in clear view. I don’t know how one can be over rated with no tangible accomplishments, but Dougie managed. All hat, no cattle.
Good story? Sure. Good QB? No.

I seriously cannot believe that no one has made a compelling argument for Jack Kemp. Stats aside, he’s the only Bills QB to win a championship – and he has two of them – and he was THE BEST the franchise had ever had until Kelly came along. My vote was for Kelly as well, but I considered Kemp a fairly close second.
