JM2009 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 If those were the best three, I guess you could actually say that we haven't wasted that much talent. Moulds was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Tyrod sucks. Get over it. Dude, you may be right. But I didn't say that I thought Tyrod was the answer. I said he'd be faster than starting over...again....with an unknown rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Moulds was very good. He was very good, but he didn't achieve greatness. I'm not sure that Moulds would have been a hall of famer under any circumstances. He had very good seasons, but he isn't the type of player who people will be discussing for years to come. I think that Calvin Johnson is in the latter category. Edited July 13, 2017 by DriveFor1Outta5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bomb Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Same things Barry Sanders did. The Lions ruin great players. And the Bills don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 And the Bills don't? There are a few guys from the 70's teams whose careers were ruined by being a part of the Bills. How many guys during this recent playoff drought would have been hall of famers elsewhere? Honestly I believe that many of these guys have been overrated as a result of being on such bad teams. Guys like Aaron Schobel would have been really good NFL players anywhere. They wouldn't have been hall of fame level guys though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Moulds was very good. ...sure he was good and endured the pain of crap teams (as did others) but he was also a diva......Ralph had to personally fly in from Detroit to mitigate the spat of Moulds vs Mularkey......Eric was RW's pet.....and he made sure he burned EVERY bridge outta town before heading to the Texans...his "publicist (really needed somebody to speak for him??)" said, "Eric is very upset with the Buffalo Bills because his consecutive game catching streak was broken".....now there's a real TEAM guy pissed about a ME record....lost ALL respect for him at that point.................

Captain Murica Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 No. He compared those players to Calvin Johnson AND Barry Sanders..... Well to be fair Eric did have more receptions than Megatron. I'm kidding, sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Moulds had a chance to be an all-time great on another team perhaps, but joined the Bills at a bad time. No way he was ever going to be Megatron good though. I get the point that some are making about the Bills squandering good players, but Johnson and Sanders were once in a generation-type talents.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 "Calvin Johnson Confirms He Retired Because the Lions Were Hopeless" http://thebiglead.com/2017/07/12/calvin-johnson-confirms-he-retired-because-the-lions-were-hopeless/ He was "stuck" in his contract with the Lions "It wasn't worth my time to keep on beating my head against the wall" They did better without ya.

JimKellyTryouts Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 ...sure he was good and endured the pain of crap teams (as did others) but he was also a diva......Ralph had to personally fly in from Detroit to mitigate the spat of Moulds vs Mularkey......Eric was RW's pet.....and he made sure he burned EVERY bridge outta town before heading to the Texans...his "publicist (really needed somebody to speak for him??)" said, "Eric is very upset with the Buffalo Bills because his consecutive game catching streak was broken".....now there's a real TEAM guy pissed about a ME record....lost ALL respect for him at that point................. Yeah no kidding. Even Terrell Owens didn't gripe any when Trent Checkwards couldn't give him a reception against the continuously-porous saints defense. From what I recall, TO was a refreshingly good dude and a solid teammate for us, which was surprising since he and Jauron seem to be as good of a mix as oil and water. As for my thoughts on this thread as a whole, why the hate for the lions? They were rather good last year and have a solid roster. Stafford showed he's definitely one of the top Qbs in this league (and will stick around longer than Rodgers) and could have helped Megatron shatter all sorts of records. I understand the POV of health and being financially stable, but trashing the team that drafted you and rewarded you with that mega deal screams typical diva WR.

NoSaint Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 He was very good, but he didn't achieve greatness. I'm not sure that Moulds would have been a hall of famer under any circumstances. He had very good seasons, but he isn't the type of player who people will be discussing for years to come. I think that Calvin Johnson is in the latter category. Perhaps a matter of personal definitions. I think there are a lot of great players that may bleed together and picture the truly iconic players of the era as generational talents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I can't believe you compared to any of those names to Calvin Johnson or Barry Sanders[/quoteDid I say these players were HOF talents? They were some of the best players the Bills had during this horrific era. That is the point of the thread - wasted talent. It is an analogy. Which means comparing like characteristics. It doesn't equate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 They did better without ya. Think it improved Stafford's decision making, for sure. He used to force the ball to Megatron constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
