FrankoElTanko Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Opinion post: Please let me know if there is someone I missed... I have been visiting the Belvedere bottle this evening and am trying to span six (6) decades, forgive me... Please vote/comment on who you think the best Bill that never was (careerist Bill) but made it for their career!? I’m curious to see what people think. Who was remembered for not being a Bill or retired and could not be defined as a Bill ( a la 1 day contract or Buffalove (Stevie J)) but in reality was drafted/developed in B-lo?

BillsPride12 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Jason Peters...from undrafted free agent that was a gimmick TE to Perennial All-Pro Left Tackle. That one still stings for me, he should've been a Bill for the long run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipkid Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Peters is a clase second, but watching Lamonica go was like watxhing AFL champions and SB contenders slip into also-rans for twenty years. The other guys were just “lamonica-ed” away. I’m not sure Bradh belongs on the list, but Robert Woods might belong if he can remain productive for a few more years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just really like Bradham and had seen he was a PFF top 3 coverage LB two years in a row and needed a spot filler, lol 19 hours ago, colfax said: letting Pat Williams go hurt worse than Nigel That would have been a better one, good catch, I spaced Big Pat (somehow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Lamonica it it isn't even close, 2 time league MVP. Too much recency bias in this poll, i would bet half of the voters here barely know about Lamonica.

Fadingpain Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Jason Peters...but it's not like he somehow slipped away! He was let go by a cheap, bad, ownership/management group. Vintage Bills move, actually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 21 hours ago, colfax said: letting Pat Williams go hurt worse than Nigel I was too young for Lamonica but Pat Williams was dumb all around. He wanted to stay in Buffalo, was a great player, and went on to have so many more productive seasons. His leaving the team coincided with the drought lasting as long as it did imo. Looking up stats the Bills finished 04 as the second best defense, 7th in rush d, and went 9-7. In 05 they fell to 29th, 31st in rush d, and finished 5-11. Probably the dumbest mistake Donahoe made including the trade for Losman and drafting of Willis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Lamonica, Peters is a close second but that was a money meanwhile Daryle was believing in an aging injury prone Jack Kemp. Edited July 10, 2018 by The Jokeman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
