BillyWhiteShows Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Take a break from NFL Draft talk and let’s talk 1980’s football. Some people will have to fill me in here. As a youth I remember reading old NFL books in our school library and seeing a WR on the Eagles called Mike Quick. An extremely interesting name considering his position. That’s like a QB called Johnny Strongarm. I digress.... Anyway by the time I started watching football, Quick was long gone and as a kid I always wondered what happened to him. Recently I came across the name when looking up 99 yard TD scoring plays. I happened to check out Quick’s stats and he put up some huge numbers his first few years. He had the potential to be a top WR of the 1980’s, if not a HOF talent if he kept up the pace of his first 4 seasons. Like a Jerry Rice level talent. But he didn’t - he fell off a cliff big time. I’m wondering what happened with Quick? I know he retired because of knee problems in 1990 but his stats seemed to have hit the wall years before then.

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Sorry, don't know what happened to Quick... but if you're interested in old Eagles, Quick and McNabb were the poor man's version of Harold Charmichael and Randall Cunningham.

Albany,n.y. Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 In 1982 the Eagles were drafting 20th & the Bills were drafting 21st. Both teams wanted to draft WRs. The Bills decided they needed to leapfrog over the Eagles so they traded a 3rd round pick & their 1st rounder to Denver to move up from 21 to 19. With that pick the Bills selected WR Perry Tuttle. The Eagles then selected Mike Quick with pick 20 of the 1st round. Tuttle lasted 2 seasons with the Bills, he was traded for a 7th round pick the preseason of his 3rd year in Buffalo. A year later he was permanently out of the NFL & played the rest of his career in Canada. Trading up to leapfrog Philadelphia for a player who lasted 2 seasons was one of many blunders that made the Bills the NFL's laughingstock in the early-mid 1980s. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading up to leapfrog Philadelphia for a player who lasted 2 seasons was one of many blunders that made the Bills the NFL's laughingstock in the early-mid 1980s. The Bills have demonstrated an almost magical ability to trade up to take the wrong player, which is an indictment of how bad their scouting and personnel decision making have been over the decades -- and that seems to regardless of the regime. Their more recent trade up faux pas include trading back into the 1st in 2004 to draft JP Losman when they could have taken Matt Schaub in the 2nd or even maybe the third and gotten a significantly better QB -- or they could have simply waited until 2005 to take Aaron Rodgers with their #18 pick. Russ Brandon and Dick Jauron traded back into the first round in 2006 to take John McCargo who barely played because of injury issues so just about anybody else would have been a better pick. In 2012 Buddy Nix traded up in the third round to take forgettable WR TJ Graham instead of taking QB Russell Wilson. In 2014, the Bills traded their 2014 and 2015 first round picks to draft WR Sammy Watkins rather than Odell Beckham Jr or Mike Evans. Finally, Brandon and McDermott traded up in the 2nd round in 2017 to take Zay Jones rather than JuJu Smith-Schuster. Hopefully, Beane breaks the pattern because he traded up twice in the first round of the 2018 draft to take Josh Allen and/or Tremaine Edmunds.

Seriously, those Knox teams were very good, and exciting to watch. The 1980 & 1981 seasons on the field don't erase all the blunders & bad decisions made by the Bills until Bill Polian took over and why they were the NFL's laughingstock until Marv showed up in 1986. I'll start one year before the 1980s, also it should be noted that the Bills were a laughingstock in the late 1960s and mid-late 1970s. Most of this caused by Ralph's penny-pinching (I'd like to thank author Sal Maiorana and his book Relentless in aiding in the details of the accounts of some of the events below. I remembered most of them but used his book as a reference to add to the details) : 1979-The Bills become the 1st, and to this date the only, team to ever lose the top pick in the entire NFL draft to the CFL. 1980-Rather than pay him, the Bills trade future HOFer Joe DeLamielleure to Cleveland at age 29, still in his prime. He played 5 seasons with the Browns after the trade. 1981-Let's start with the draft, one of the worst in team history, led by #1 pick Booker Moore who missed his rookie year with Guillain-Barre Syndrome and whether it was the aftereffects of the disease or just that he was a bust, he was a bust. The best picks were in the 9th-11th rounds. In June Jim Haslett got so frustrated with his contract negotiations that he filed unfair labor practice charges against the Bills with the National Labor Relations Board. He later fired his agent & re-signed in August. 1982-The aforementioned Perry Tuttle blunder. Overall another horrible draft with only Eugene Marve in the 3rd round providing any long term contribution. In one of the strangest moments in Bills history the Bills cut rookie kicker Gary Anderson, who went on to a long career in the NFL and kept Nick Mike-Mayer who ended up getting cut in September. For years there have been rumors that Anderson was so upset with being drafted by the Bills that he tanked preseason so that he could get cut & picked up by the Pittsburgh Steelers. In a strike year when no games were played from late September until November 21st Joe Cribbs held out and didn't report until November 24th. 1983-Chuck Knox resigns after the 1982 season, starting the eras of Kay Stephenson & subsequently Hank Bullough. Jim Kelly is in the Bills offices talking contract and the USFL calls to tell him not to sign with the Bills. A secretary takes the call & interrupts the meeting so Kelly can talk with the USFL representative-IN THE BILLS OFFICE! He signs with the USFL and we lose 3 seasons without him before finally signing him in 1986. In July Joe Cribbs has now had enough with the Bills and signs a future contract with the USFL. He plays in 1983 and leaves for the USFL after the season. Losing him and Jim Kelly set the stage for back to back 2-14 seasons although Cribbs does return in midseason 1985. 1984-The Bills are now a laughingstock on the field as well as off it, going 2-14 and having the worst record in the NFL. 1985-In spite of having the worst record in 1984, the Bills retain coach Kay Stephenson. The Bills deal the 1st pick in the supplemental draft to Cleveland so that Cleveland can draft Bernie Kosar. Part of the deal includes sending talented LB Chip Banks to Buffalo. Banks refuses to report & the trade is revised where Banks is allowed to return to Cleveland rather than ever play for the Bills. In October the Kay Stephenson era ends with his firing and the elevation of the man who will go down in history as one of the worst, if not the worst head coaches in Bills history, Hank Bullough. Later in October Joe Cribbs returns from the USFL. Within a month he has become so disgruntled that he put strips of athletic tape on his locker with a sign that read "Buffalo Prison" 1986-The Bills finally started doing things right, signed Jim Kelly and under new GM Bill Polian's urging, got Ralph to loosen his wallet and put together a decent staff off the field. Of course, the Marv Levy era didn't start until after the Bills traded the multi-year disgruntled Joe Cribbs and had the embarrassment of the team's defensive players tanking in Tampa in order to get Hank Bullough fired. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
