plenzmd1 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 First, i am a guy that never, in any sport, has a "2nd team". If i have a team i root for passionately, i pretty much hate ever other team in that sport . Having said that, i occasionally find myself rooting for other players because of something they did off the field, how they carry themselves on the field, or a combination of both.. Brandon Marshall is that guy for me right now. I think it takes a ton of courage for him to acknowledge his mental illness , and actively speak about and raise awareness on the subject. I loved last year when he wore the green shoes, even when he knew he would get fined, to elevate that cause. I have been rooting for him for a couple of years now. http://thinkprogress.org/sports/2013/10/17/2795711/nfl-fines-brandon-marshall-10500-green-mental-health-awareness-shoes/ And the guy just seems like the ultimate team mate. I hope the Bears take care of this guy when its time http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/03/28/brandon-marshall-has-no-intention-to-leave-chicago/ Anyway, was curious if other folks out there have some other guys they like..(and not just for fantasy reasons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazed and Amuzed Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Richard Sherman. Love his attitude. The guy is more intelligent than 90% of his detractors and I love how he gets under their skin as though what he does affects them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I remain a fan of Drew Brees for genuinely embracing the city of New Orleans. He's smart, charitable, articulate and does a great job representing the game and the players. He is, to NO, what Kelly is to Buffalo. Peyton Manning is also on my list. Regardless of the last SB, the dude plays at a level that at times is like watching BB King play Lucille (the guitar, not the song, you dumbasses). Add to this his professionalism, leadership and sense of humor, and it's hard not to like him.. Lastly, his brother Eli is on my list for one reason and one reason only.

Mark80 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Russell Wilson. What he does off the field is just as, if not more impressive than what he does on the field. A dedicated leader, works harder than everyone, and gives a ton of time and effort to his community. A public relations dreamboat. Conversely, a potential PR nightmare that I love is Marshawn. Sports are entertainment, and he is flat out entertaining to watch on the field. Love his sideline antics and that Predator looking smile.

plenzmd1 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Funny, i really dislike Manning. Not sure why, but man do i root against him. The AFC championship with games him Vs. Brady..with one of them winning..the ultimate "no Exit" for me. And Russell is tough for me. So many people here in Richmond jumped on his bandwagon. I want him to do well, but i don't want all these newbie Seahawk fans to go around like "their" team won the Super Bowl. And I am talking the adults here, i get the kids that went to school with him You may want to inspect Brandon Marshall's background a little more before you make him out to be a hero for wearing Green shoes. http://www.cbssports...eyond-troubling http://espn.go.com/b...-field-problems Marshall beat women. I don't care if you're bi-polar thats not an excuse. I was for sure who wanted to see Marshall run out of the NFL 3 years back. I believe his medication and therapy is working. I do believe people can change. I root for guys like him that have the courage to stand up on a subject that I would be reluctant to discuss.

sodbuster Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Russell Wilson. I was so disappointed when he didn't end up here. I'm a short guy, so that might have something to do with it. Used to be Ray Lewis. That guy was a maniac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I love watching Brees. He is so fluid and just a pure passer. Adrian Peterson is so strong and just runs over people. Larry Fitzgerald and Calvin Johnson too. Both just an amazing talents It was also great to see Joique Bell play well in Detroit. Liked him a lot when he was here and if we didn't have Fred and CJ he might have stayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 There have been guys in the past that I really liked (Favre, Elway)...but not so much anymore. Not sure why. I really can't think of any player I really like from another team. I suppose Cam Newton or P Manning would be the closest thing... but it is normally because, whenever he (Manning) is in a big game, I can't stand the opponant.

machine gun kelly Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Rogers is the best balance of age, talent, and ability to win. My boys absolutely love Peyton, and Fitzy in AZ. He is such a class act. The guy who is one of the most talented guys in the league though is Patrick Peterson. Next year we may even see him punting. :-). The guy does everything. He returns kicks, punts, lock down corner, I believe the best CB in the league ahead of Sherman, and proved he's a solid WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXL Franchize Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Richard Sherman is one of my favorite guys right now. But overall I have to say Eli Manning.

DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 This is a very tough question to answer. As I read the question of who my favorite non Bills player was, I couldn't come up with a distinct answer. I guess if I had to choose, it would be either Aaron Rodgers, JJ Watt or Von Miller. I think Von Miller would be my top choice. Him opposite Mario would be so awesome. Ok enough dreaming. My favorite Bills players on the team today is a very equal tie between Freddy and Kyle Williams. Love them both severely. I wish they both retire as Bills. If we lose anyone else, it will create disappointment but not as much as if we lost Kyle or Freddy. Those two guys would be the 1st two I would pick when creating the 53 man roster.

reddogblitz Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Drew Brees - One of the best QBs but humble. Seems like a nice guy. No need to toot his own horn or try to draw attention to himself. Love the way he stands in the pocket trying to peek over the lineman and then unleashing a perfect pass. I love that.
