Buffalo Bills 2000s All-Decade Team: Quarterbacks

While the Buffalo Bills' quarterback position has had a tumultuous run over the last decade, the team did have one Pro Bowl player at the position in that time frame. We begin our series voting for the Bills Team of the Decade by picking our quarterback. Here are the nominees:

Rob Johnson
Johnson started 19 games for the Bills over the 2000 and 2001 seasons. He went 5-14 as a starter in those seasons, completing 309 of his 522 passes (59%) for 3,590 yards, with 17 touchdowns to 14 interceptions. The guy took 80 sacks in the 20 games he played in, too. If you want to get super picky, Johnson is the only Bills QB to start a playoff game in the decade, losing on a last-second play to the Tennessee Titans in January of 2000.

Drew Bledsoe
Bledsoe compiled a 23-25 record in Buffalo, starting every game over the course of his three seasons with the Bills from 2002-2004. His 10,151 passing yards, 905 completions, 1,531 pass attempts, 55 touchdowns, 43 interceptions and 48% winning percentage are all the most by any Bills QB during the decade - as is his number of Pro Bowls, one, following his 2002 campaign. During 2002, Bledsoe broke several of the team's single-season passing records, throwing 100 more passes than Jim Kelly ever did in one year and gaining 500 more yards than the Hall of Famer. In 2004, the Bills came up just short of the playoffs with Bledsoe at the helm.

Star-divide

J.P. Losman
From 2004-2008, J.P. Losman started 33 games for the Bills, compiling a 10-23 record as a starter. He is the longest-tenured player on this list in terms of years spent with the club. In the decade, he ranks second behind Bledsoe in virtually every category, including attempts (941), completions (558), and yards (6,211). He threw 33 touchdowns and 34 interceptions in a Bills uniform.

Trent Edwards
The final player up for consideration is current Bills quarterback Trent Edwards.  Edwards has the second-best winning percentage among Bills QBs in the decade who have started a season's worth of games. He ranks third behind Bledsoe and Losman with 506 completions, 826 attempts, 5,498 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 25 interceptions. Edwards led all Bills QBs in the decade with a 61.3 completion percentage and a 77.9 passer rating.

Now it's your turn to vote on who was the best Bills quarterback of the decade.  Feel free to leave your rationale in the comments section.  Up next is the running back of the decade.

Flutie

is also my favorite Bills quarterback, at least in the last decade. Even though he didn’t start very many games in 200, I wish he was on this list so I could have voted for him. I am still mad at the Bills for benching him for that playoff game the Bills lost.

by stetzwebs on May 2, 2010 4:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

Same here. I think that we would have won that game had Flutie been playing.

The Bills would have won that game if special teams made a tackle. Rob Johnson didn’t lose that game and his legacy might be different if the went on to win it. He actually played a very good game that day.

When you aren’t leading the team to anything more than victories over the bottom feeders, how does it matter that much?

If W/L record was the driving factor and all that seemed to matter, then you better throw Kelly Holcomb and Fitzpatrick up there since they both have a .500 winning percentage as a starter in Buffalo.

I only included guys who started for a season’’s worth of games. I answered your question: “What has Edwards done?” He has the best winning percentage among all those guys not named Bledsoe. He has the highest rating and completion percentage of any Bills QB in the 2000s. That has to count for something. I’m not saying he is better than J.P. but you could certainly make a case for Edwards.

I thought the Bills offense was ridiculously vanilla from second half of 2002 on. Don’t get me wrong, Bledsoe was at least competent and Buffalo was too hasty to move on in retrospect, but I don’t think the offense was even remotely exciting during those years and it’s a shame because those were the best defenses Buffalo had the last decade.

The thing I enjoyed about the Bledsoe-run offense was that we were a true vertical offense, you could routinely expect to pick up a 3rd and 18 or whatever. Since then if the Bills have gotten into 3rd and longer than about 11, it’s almost a miracle to pick that up.

Who voted for JP? I bet it was JP’s friend I met at the Cardinals-Bills game 2 years ago.

I went to the smoking area after Trent got knocked out of the game by Adrian Wilson. Asked this guy for a smoke, he was nice enough to say yes. This is how I opened up the conversation:

“Thanks, man…. I don’t usually smoke but our backup QB is brutal. He specializes in spin moves into sacks, fumbles, and interceptions”

“… I’m actually friends with JP. He got me tickets for today, I’m here with his family.”

After Bledsoe..its nearly impossible to vote for a second best

but I’d pick Edwards by default…I hope Gaily can fix him to his pre-conussion form

That’s a good conversation now that it’s a runaway. Who is the second best of the list?

I go Edwards because of the completion and winning percentage difference over Losman.

I'd take Losman

He had a season where the difference between him and Tom Brady on paper was negligible. That’s astonishing to me.

I go Edwards because he is still on the roster and has a slim chance of getting his sh!t together

If/when Edwards gets cut, then I would go JP because at least he threw the ball down field….sure it got intercepted a lot but at least he threw it. The fumbles is what drove me nuts about JP……dam little girl hands.

I'll second that

Took the words right out of my mouth. Edwards still has a chance to prove he can be the guy. Losman was thrust into the position and wasn’t really ready (despite all the work that Sam Wyche did with him.)

I really hope that just having one good OC/HC this season makes a big difference in the offense. It be nice to see us score more than 16 points per game.

I'll second that too

Funny story

I was 9 in 2000. Rob Johnson was my favorite player, because I saw him throw a long TD pass to Eric Moulds once.

Heh. I was the only fan in the house who liked Rob more than Flutie…

Just curious

What are you now? (Cause there’s a lot of days that the Bills made me feel foolish.) The 4th SuperBowl is one.

Hah.

Well i still follow the Bills manically, so still a fool, i suppose. But I’m not as foolish as I once was, thinking that a guy who took 1 trillion sacks was better than a guy who just won football games…

Hmmmm

Maybe we shouldn’t call ourselves fans anymore. Maybe we are the “Bills Fools.” I mean I am a fan and I’ll still be next year at this time and I swear I’d be greatly surprised if they broke .500 this year.

Bledsoe

 I said Bledsoe, because he was the only one who got a chance to develop as a QB,( w/ some other organization)

What a list to choose from

Asking me to choose one out of these four players is like asking me what I prefer; syhillis, ghoneria, crabs or clametia….

If you don't want clametia, stop eating shell fish......Hahahahahhahhahaaha :-)

didn’t doug flutie lead the team to the playoffs? or was that in 99?

and if i am not mistaken, flutie led us (for the most part) the year johnson started the playoff game against the titans.

Foolishness

It is complete and utter folderol to pretend like Losman or Johnson were better QBs than edwards. That 10-23 should sum that up perfectly.

folderol

Great word. I had to look that up. To save others time, it means foolishness or nonsense.

to pretend like Losman or Johnson were better QBs than edwards. That 10-23 should sum that up perfectly.

Losman had a season where he was one of the top 10-12 QB’s in the league. When did Rob or Trent ever do that? Also, their records aren’t exactly good either…

Fred Jackson's 1 play at QB was pretty exciting last year

Can I vote for him?

He was on the team for two years but only played in one season, starting 8 games. I only included QBs who played two seasons and started at least one season’s worth of games. :-)

I'm fully convinced

that some day we’ll see a great post showing stats from all these QBs combined vs. a new, highly effective and successful Bills QB—who will blow these numbers out of the water.

The end of this joke has to arrive at some point. We’ve all been rather patient with the easy punchlines.

for my first post ever i offer a nostalgic look back at a famous headline our local news paper printed in giant bold letters at the early stages of Mr Johnson’s tenure.
“IN ROB WE TRUST”

I remember that headline. Are you from Batavia by chance or did multiple papers run that headline?

Welcome!
