Buffalo Bills: Top 5 quarterbacks in franchise history
#1. Jim Kelly
It is without question that the when the conversation of past great Bills QBs comes up, Jim Kelly is without a doubt the top choice. During his influential time with the Bills, he posted stats that landed him in the Hall of Fame in 2002.
The five-time Pro Bowler had a career 84.4 perent passer rating while throwing for 237 touchdowns. During his standout season in 1991, Kelly sat atop the NFL with 33 passing touchdowns. His performance in the ’91 season earned him a “first-team All Pro” honor.
During the 1992 season, Kelly led the NFL with the least amount of interceptions with only 19. In 160 games in Buffalo, Kelly set an unprecedented bar that has yet to be surpassed. After his playing career, Kelly has been involved in the Buffalo community as his foundation “Kelly for Kids” serves to help the disabled youth in Western New York.
“Kelly Tough” has been a slogan that has united Buffalo with the longtime QB as Kelly takes on his second battle with cancer. The 58-year-old has been a foundation in Buffalo not just for being the exceptional QB he was, but for being an anchor of support and charity for the citizens of Western New York.
