Jerry Butler a non star?

I think of him as a very, very good player. I think if you polled Bills fans here or anywhere, Butler would (regrettably) not be in the top 20 or 30 all time Bills in a vote like that, even though he was great for a short time and had an unfortunate injury. Same with Romes who was one of the top 5 players at his position in all of football but younger Bills fans wouldn't think of him or even know of him.

Terrence McGee was probably the first Bills player that really excited me. Sadly, I missed out of his prime days as a KR.[/quot

 

This was my 1st thought as well. Every time he got the ball you knew he could possibly take it to the house. Not to mention he was a very good corner as well. He would be my pick

Butch "Touchdown" Rolle

 

Leon "Dr. Sack" Seals.

 

And def Carwell Gradner for fighting Bryan Cox in the tunnel.

 

Shout out to Larry Kinnebrew and Jamie Mueller.

 

I thought it would take at least a page or two to see Kinnebrew. I can't believe it was the second post in the thread! Well done.

Does Talley qualify? Pretty sure he was not as big of a name outside of Buff than others on the at D.

 

Bills fans bought Lawrence Taylor jerseys thinking it was Talley's. By the dozens they'd walk by at Bills games.

Winfield for sure, if he counts. I feel like he's too big (in reputation, not stature).

 

I really liked how Thad Lewis played for us in that he seemed to give it his all.

 

Fitzpatrick seems like a guy I'd crack a beer with... over a game of chess. Also probably too well known.

 

Joe Burns... because the name.

 

Liked Bobby Shaw at WR for whatever reason.

 

Mark Campbell caught everything, no matter if he was getting lit up, so he's okay in my book.

 

Holzinger. Sanderson. Afinogenov. Wait...

Roscoe Parrish, Corey Moore, Keith Ellison, Leonard Smith, Shaud Williams, Marcus Stroud, the healthy Sam Cowart, Marvcus Patton,

 

and also touchdown elvis

 

guest star Mike TD Gillislee the best backup runner in this freaking league (maybe tied with Coleman for Atl)

Gabe Northern...yes because I thought he was going to be a star when I watched him at LSU.

I was like 13 when he was drafted and gave him every benefit out a doubt because I was immature.

 

I'd excuse you, because I was an idiot when I was 13, too.

 

But this board doesn't even excuse 13 year old idiots. So you're not excused, you idiot.

Butler was most certainly a star on the team in his era.

 

As was Frank Lewis, to name another on your list of "non-stars".

A star on your team is different than a star player or a star in the league. Both were great players. Frank Lewis had star talent that was never given the accolades due, on either the Steelers or the Bills. Made incredible catches look routine. I was thinking more of players not given credit for being stars more than totally unsung guys that you liked, like Roland Hooks.
