Maury Ballstein Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Moulds was a beast. I wouldnt say he was "squandered". He was well respected by all in the league. He put up some solid numbers over his career. No shame in that. The "music city miracle" team was pretty talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiterateStylish Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Moulds is one of hundreds, if not thousands of players stuck on bad teams who never achieve glory. PTR It's really too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago_Mike Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Moulds had a some Andre Johnson in him; problem was QB for him while he was there. Outside of Bledsoe, he had very little support in that department, and still put up respectable numbers. Let's say he was in his 3rd year in 2012, and how the league is now, he'd probably be a top 8 receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago_Mike Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 top 8, lol hed be top 3 or 4 man... from 98 to 02, only moss was better in talent... imo I was being kinda conservative... w/ Calvin, Andre, Julio, Roddy, Jennings, Welker, Fitzgerald, Cruz, Nicks, etc. in the league and playing at elite levels, being in the top 8 is with some great company.

MARCELL DAREUS POWER Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 his 98 season was nuts, and even though reed had way more production, he never had a year like that... but reed was a different skill set... if moulds was on the sb teams, he would have put up hof numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mob16151 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yea been saying for years, If moulds had some consistent competent QB play he'd be at worst a border line hall of famer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Pro Football Prospectus ranked Moulds 1998 season as one of the best seasons by a wide receiver since they kept stats (Early 90's is when they started their metrics). Granted this was 2009 but still that's still pretty dam impressive and I bet that season still ranks up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ko12010 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) It's crazy because just think of who else was drafted that year: Marvin Harrison, T.O. (in the 2nd round I think?) Keyshawn, and I think someone else pretty good. I want to say Chad Johnson but I'm not sure. I've always thought about this with Moulds. So good. Better physical measurements than Harrison too. Imagine if Indy took Moulds and we took Harrison. I think Moulds career was squandered completely. He was a Bill right at the end of a great era and throughout one of the worst in their history. Sad. Yes, the Music City Miracle team was good but that mightve been one of the two or three seasons he was on a good team. He could have had such a better career numbers-wise. One of my favorite players. Remember when Moulds had 100 receptions and Peerless had 94? Let's hope Stevie and someone else can put #'s like that up this year. However, Stevie resembles Reed with his route running and underrated nature. He's not a Moulds type physical specimen. Easley, Hagan, and Aiken resemble Moulds - one can wish upon a star that one of those 3 fill that other outside receiver slot!

dpberr Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I agree with the original poster. Moulds was quite the talent and WRs are only ever as good as the quarterbacks throwing to him. He was the John McClane of Bills receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a shame they couldn't put good enough teams around a talent like that. Can't say enough about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
