Bills fans, Buffalo sports fans in general, are a tortured group that has had so many second-place finishes. That’s not the only pain point, though. There have been SO MANY absolutely horrendous teams as well. A 17-year playoff drought for the Bills lasting most of this century. A 13-year drought is currently ongoing for the Sabres: the longest active in pro sports and longest ever in the NHL. Bills fans had a lot of pain in the 70s and 80s.

It’s often referred to as “the most important position in sports,” and for good reason—having an elite signal-caller simply makes life easier. The presence of a premier passer can mask a litany of roster deficiencies and allow an otherwise pedestrian offense to produce at a consistently high level. Quarterbacks are among the highest-paid athletes in all of professional sports, indicating the value they provide their employers.
