I hate Fred taylor, so this will be hard...Fred Taylor helps the Bills remain a stability over the years. With no Rob Johnson, the Bills trade up next year for a higher pick,. selecting Cade McCown. The next year, the Bills have a 5-11 season and Cade McCown is traded to the Jets. The Bills, with a sub-par defense, select Shaun Ellis in the NFl Draft in the 2000 NFl Draft. Ellis becomes a playmaker in Buffalo, becoming the base of their defense, going 6-10. The Bills go through the next year, the Bills select a quarterback, who at the time, people believe will be drafted too high...Drew Brees. The next few years are tough in Buffalo, but the latter decade is much more succesfull, and in 2010, the Bills finally reach the AFC Championship, losing.
The Bills would actually be a lot worse of, especially in the 90's and 80's.
