OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) ...interesting read......any rankings way off or anyone missed?....... Buffalo Bills: Who are the Top 100 players in franchise history? Sal Maiorana, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle Published 6:01 a.m. ET Aug. 18, 2019 The Buffalo Bills played their first game in 1960 and Sal Maiorana began covering the team as a full-time beat writer for the Democrat and Chronicle in 1990. As the NFL kicks off its 100th season and the Bills begin their 60th, here are Sal's rankings of the Bills' Top 100 all-time players: https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2019/08/18/buffalo-bills-nfl-top-100-players-team-history-bruce-smith-jim-kelly-oj-simpson-thurman-thomas/1515173001/ Edited August 18, 2019 by OldTimeAFLGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDTT Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Interesting set of rankings. Nothing too surprising, although I think I would've ranked Flutie a little higher given his leadership of the team during playoff years. Interesting that they mentioned Jack Kemp's political career. Not sure if they counted that in his ranking, but if so they should also be counting extracurriculars of some of the other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) Seems fairly reasonable. I would have liked to see Bobby Chandler and Ahmad Rashad on there. Frank Lewis and Don Beebe too. But these lists are tough to do. Edited August 18, 2019 by oldmanfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flutie is lucky to have made the top 100... Just shows the lack of talent the Bills have had to fill out that 100 list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibum Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I more or less agree with the top ten, but the bottom 30 seems like kind of a mess. I think he based this more on statistics than on actual impact to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
