RIP Daryle Lamonica

Has the best starting QB winning percentage without making the HOF ...

One of the most exciting players of the 1960s and as strong an arm as any QB of that decade.

ALso, he pulled out some wins in Buffalo, when Kemp started - - - I don't know how many
I looked them up once but it's lost in a notebook somewhere

Kemp was benhimd and as a spark Lamonical entered the game and the Bills rallied to a win

Maybe Jeffrey Miller knows.

Man, the Mad Bomber's gone?! Jeezus, we're all getting old. Loved watching those freewheeling, pass-crazy games involving Lamonica, Hadl, and Namath back in the last years of the AFL.

He had 6 TD passes in the FIRST HALF in a game against the Bills in 1969 and would have had a 7th if rookie Drew Buie didn't step out of bounds just short of the goal line at the end of the 1st half. He could have broken the TD pass record easily but John Madden called off the dogs in the 2nd half. The Mad Bomber was always exciting to watch.
