Who is Yuri? Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I've got fuzzy fond memories of Rob Riddick jumping the line like a trout to score touchdowns. I'm glad he got a mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judman Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) I gotta put him third behind OJ and Thurman. Edited September 2, 2015 by judman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) I gotta put him third behind OJ and Thurman. I'd go with this too. However, the Bills seem to always have stud RBs. Travis Hernry and Willis and Antwain Smith were also really good, but not as loyal and didn't hang around as long.

Dragonborn10 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 I was shocked how little rushing yards and attempts he had. But I remember him as being a threat out of the backfield. And I would prefer to forget the likes of Bell, Leaks, and Booker Moore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Terry Miller and Bell are higher on my list than Harmon or any of that group of with Spiller Edited September 3, 2015 by HoF Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 How is Davis not in the top 7. He was a better backup running back than Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilly Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I like those stats; I actually think they confirm OJ as #1, if you look at the amount of attempts, Y/A, and Y/G, he's on top. Thurman #2 and then Fred #3 for me on that list. Cookie's gotta be up there with those stats too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'd say your top 5 is clear-cut & right on. I agree. Jackson #5. Although you could argue that Kenny Davis was just as good but got fewer chances because of Thurman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Good stuff Dragonborn!! I'd flip Cribbs and Freddy. The guys tied at 8 are really different. 2 were role players and 2 had great seasons but just 1 or 2. It is an interesting topic for sure and you did a nice job on that list.

Dragonborn10 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Where is Shaud Williams?well played Good stuff Dragonborn!! I'd flip Cribbs and Freddy. The guys tied at 8 are really different. 2 were role players and 2 had great seasons but just 1 or 2. It is an interesting topic for sure and you did a nice job on that list.Totally agree with the group at 8. Spiller might have had the second or third best season ever for a Bills RB. I thought Riddick was a very good player. I remember him playing with a broken wrist. I think he helped Kelly in the early years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Curiously, Bills history has far more good RBs than QBs. My top 5: 1. OJ 2. Thurman 3. Freddy 4. Cookie 5 Cribbs I think Fred belongs on the stadium's Wall of Fame. In fact, I really think Freddy had a shot at being a HOFer if he had (1) played behind better lines, and (2) stayed healthy. If I'm not mistaken, Fred lead the league in yards after contact one year. I know he was among the leaders for a couple of years. No back in the NFL during Fred's prime did more-with-less the way Fred did. But he was more than just a good runner, he was a complete back - he could block, catch, and would inspire his teammates even when the Bills had no shot at the playoffs. Neither stats nor playoff accomplishments will back me up but I think if circumstances were different, we'd be arguing who's better Thurman or Freddy. A lot of talent and power accompanied Fred's big heart. He's a solid #3 for me and I'm tempted to call him 2b. Where is Shaud Williams? I was at the Stick in 2004 when Shaud ran 17 times for 93 yards. The Bills won 41-7 and Williams looked great that day. 9er fans were asking me, "Who's that running back?" McGahee ran for 102 before leaving the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homey D. Clown Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) 1. OJ 2. Thurman 3. Gilchirst 4. Cribbs 5. Jackson 6. Lynch 7. Henry 8. McGahee/Spiller/Davis/Riddick 9. Harmon 10. The rest Thurman was my favorite player and is the only signed jersey I own. But OJ had once in a life time skills. Jackson was far more impactful than Cribbs was. He(Cribbs) was also a selfish player if my memory serves me. If this list is based upon just the numbers, then my top 5 looks like this: 1. OJ 2. Thurman 3. Gilchirst 4. Jackson 5. Cribbs If it's based upon leadership and the ability to carry an entire team on his shoulders, then Freddie moves much closer to the top of this list. Edited September 3, 2015 by Homey D.
