19. Joe Ferguson
While Joe Ferguson was never a Pro Bowl selection, he was a long time starter with the Bills and would lead the NFL in Passing Yards in 1977 and Touchdown Passes in 1975.  He may have had more picks than TD passes, but many of the top quarterbacks did have that in that era, and this is still one of the better QBs that Buffalo has ever had.

Buffalo inducted Ferguson into their Wall of Fame in 1995.
