Domdab99 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 When was the last time the Bills had THE GUY? The guy who made a difference, the guy who was THE NFL star at his position? The Texans have JJ Watt. The Packers have Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers have Antonio Brown. Even the Jags have up-and-coming GUYS like Jalen Ramsey and Calais Campbell. But the bIlls never seem to have that GUY, you know? We draft Sammy Watkins to be the GUY, but nope. Marcel Dareus? Nope. We have guys like Darby and Alexander and Bryce Paup step up for one season and then they are no longer the GUY. The last THE GUY we had was probably Bruce Smith. The Bills don't have anyone on the roster right now who could become THE GUY. Shady is sorta THE GUY, but he's not going to be around much longer. We need THE GUY.

The Wiz Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Moorman was the GUY for most of his career in buffalo if that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KollegeStudnet Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I’d say McCoy is the GUY for this team at the moment. The dude is magical. A true talent at RB 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late 80's to mid 90's we had 4 NFL Hall of Fame Players in their prime with Kelly, Bruce, Reed, and Thurman, We had a supporting cast of Pro bowlers in Bernett, Talley, Odomes, Hull , Lofton, Wollford, and Tasker ... to name a few. In the mid 60's we had some of the best players to ever play in the AFL with Kemp, Gilchrest, Dubenion, Shaw, Sestack, McDole, Stratton, Bryd and Saimes ... to name a few. We also had OJ Simpson who was the best football of his time, at least for a few years in the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 The short answer is that, historically, the Bills are one of the worst run organizations in N. American team sports. You can fill a large book with the personnel decision mistakes we have made just during the drought. That is why we don't have the GUY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNubbins Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Poor drafting at a mostly middling draft position. Also because Ralph is cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time was, when guys who the Bills drafted, were out of football sitting on a couch in a few years. Since Nix, I have to say....there have been a few exceptions due mostly to injury (Troup, Carrington) or lack of discipline (Karlos Williams), but since then most every player we have cut or let go is playing, usually starting, for another team. I don't think you can call that "poor drafting". What you can call it is lack of continuity at coaching and scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albwan Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 They had Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas and Jim Kelly - all at one time. The football gods deemed the bills having too much talent at one time hence the curse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 You kinda could argue we have The Guy as our field goal kicker now. What is it like 15 straight he's nailed from 50 yards plus. But yeah I kinda get the OPs sentiments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
