CardinalScotts Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 the big play guy in me says Moulds....this guy was so productive with ***** QB's besides Bledsoe. He would be incredible with Allen- but my brain says Reed out of the slot would be just what the doctor ordered. On the current team I think Zay out of the slot would be the perfect spot but we need to find an accomplished #1 wr. Then you have Foster on the other side and here we go add in play making tight end, McCoy who i do not think is done and you can push McKenzie down. Now we would have weapons all by adding just one player - yes he has to be a Brown type guy. Then address the o line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbarg12 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I was always a huge Eric Moulds fan growing up, it would be awesome to see Josh Allen dropping a perfect 60 yard pass into his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 2 hours ago, hondo in seattle said: Bruce may have been the best pass rusher of all time. But OJ is probably the greatest football player at any position I've seen in my 60 years on earth. In his prime, he looked like a NFLer playing against junior college kids. Let's look at peak productivity... In OJ's best season - back when defenses schemed more to stop the run than the pass - OJ had an incredible 75% more yards than the #2 guy. OJ rushed for 2,003 yards in that season (1973) - next best total was 1,144. And that was in the 1970s when the best athletes in America wanted to be running backs, unlike today. Bruce, on the other hand, never led the NFL in sacks. Not once. He was very good for a very long time, but at his peak he was not as dominant as OJ. Maybe Bruce is a better pick in this exercise because he'd contribute for more seasons. But OJ would make the biggest immediate impact. His talent was other worldly. Nice points. I didn't know that 78 never lead the league in sacks. Juice was incredible and just a fun guy to watch run. Fast, elusive, powerful. A major reason I'm an out of town Bills fan. But in this day and age when it's all about the QB if I can't pick a QB the next best thing is getting after the QB so I'd go with Bruce. Watching him terrorize Brady twice a year would have been sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Walt Patulski. With Kelvin Benjamin gone, we need a new whipping boy. Less facetiously, I'm going to go with the unusual choice of Pete Metzelaars. Because he's probably the best TE the Bills have had in their history, and while this franchise has shown it can acquire one way or another quality WRs, RBs, LBs, linemen, and other positions, they can't seen to get a TE, via free agency or draft, who doesn't end up being Tony Hunter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Bruce Smith is the obvious choice, he is a trans-formative player and the best player in franchise history. That being said the more interesting question is which offensive player in Bills history would you want to pair with Allen? To me that would be Jason Peters. Peters would dramatically improve the offensive line and be a decade plus anchor there. I would also love to see Moulds, Lee Evan, Thurman, and Ruben Brown too. Lee never made a pro-bowl but with that speed dam what things he could do with a cannon armed QB like Josh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutDog Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Off the top of my head, Bruce. He was such a joy to watch play. Many others have made made solid arguments for others but, at this point in time, I’d go with Bruce. Iur D would line would be better which would make our DB’s better which would get the other O off the field faster which would allow our new-found O talent to excel. (Yes, I know that was the longest run-on sentence ever). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reks Ryan Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Another twist on the OP’s question is who can the Bills realistically get that would be the closest clone to one of those great Bills players of the past? Whether you think Bruce, Cookie, Thurman, K. Hull, etc. Whar rookie, free agent, ot tradeable player can the Bills get that would come closest to matching their production?

The Frankish Reich Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 O.J. Unless, of course, the question presupposes knowledge about what would come later ... ... it's a good question as to which great players of yesteryear would still be dominant in today's NFL. Go back 30 years and I'm still pretty sure Kelly/Reed/Smith/Thurman would be great today. 45 years? Not that many.

Dude was a beast, was NFL offensive player of the year, All-Pro a couple times and was the first man to get 1,000 yards rushing AND receiving in the same season. Before Thurman was even in the league... To answer the OP's question though, Andre Reed would be my choice. Number one WR who could reliably impact the game at any level of the field.

Freddie's Dead Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Bruce Smith. Gotta go with the GOAT at DE (and don't give me that racist homophobe Reggie White). Bruce always paced himself in a game, was never that 110% on every play guy. Until the play mattered. Bruce would then turn into an absolutely unstoppable force. Never saw another player make the big play time and again with the game on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it’s our association with him being on successful teams, or the fact we recall (rightly or wrongly) him as a receiver who seemed to make catches when it counted.
