Original Byrd Man Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) I brought this up several years ago, with John Murphy and Steve Tasker having differing opinions on it yesterday, and Fred signing to retire a Bill today I thought it merited renewing. What do you think? Edited April 18, 2018 by Original Byrd Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) he will have to wait a while but yes. Fred and Kyle only 2 worthy of being up there from the 2000's until now so I think we have room for them up there Edited April 18, 2018 by kdiggz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddaryl Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Yeah the wall of fame is more than just statisitcs. Freddie was true Blue and was a ray of sunshine for Bills fans when we needed it the most... SO I vote yes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Yes, certainly. Only the fourth best Bills RB (after OJ, Cookie, Thurman -- can't rate Shady yet) but still the most heart and drive of any Bill during that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Yes. The Wall of Fame isn't the Hall of Fame. You don't have to have the best career in the history of the franchise to get on the Wall. You have to have been a transcendent Buffalo Bill, a person who occupies a special place in the fan psyche. That's why Bob Kalsu is there. That's why Daryl Talley is there. And that's why Fred will be there. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best of any era - equal to Talley, for example. Both maxed out on that scale. Jackson had the kind of will, guts and determination that every coach would like to see in his players, not just in Buffalo but anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP's Voice Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Freddy for sure deserves to be there for the amount of heart he showed each play. Kyle also deserves to be on there for same reason. Only other player from drought that might deserve WOF honor is Brian Moorman (2x all-pro and the best player on the team for several years). Definitely not Eric Wood who couldn't stay on the field and was overrated. Edited April 18, 2018 by JP's Voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Byrd Man Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 I found it interesting that while Murph was emphatic about him being honored Tasker was not. I always appreciated the heart and dedication he brought to the field and off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
