Norwide? Of the modern era Bills no one else really belongs as none of the ones you mentioned are best of all time at their positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two time defensive player of the year, five pro bowls, and on the 90's all decade team. Yep Bennett should get in way before Tasker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 And I dont think Tasker belongs in the HOF either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_kidd_4 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I loved Steve Tasker way back when, one of my all time faves, and probably my #1 on those 90’s team. I was always a bigger fan of the hustle/niche type of players as opposed to the big names. That said, I think the HOF talk is pretty far fetched. Tasker was a standout and beyond at what he did, but his body of work isn’t Canton worthy imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irv Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) I think his sideline reporting and color commentary pretty much ended any chance he had at the HOF. Edited January 27, 2020 by Irv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been reading the whole thread but my take Tasker should be in.. he did change the game and teams gameplanned alot specifically for him Hester is statistically the best return man of all time and should also get in for his special talent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't think Tasker is Hall worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
