Bills fan since 87 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Eassyyyy Shady. You're talking about one of our Rushmore guys here. I've liked you since you became a Bill and after, but that can change real quick when you go after a Buffalo legend.

RoyBatty is alive Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Honestly who cares, another contrived manufactured "hot debate". It isnt really worth the read, and both Kelly and Thruman want to stay relevant. Shady taking unnecessary, gratuitous cheap shot about 4 super bowls, sorry shady, you dont have to be an ex bill and former very good players to have such "incredible insight" or is this to attract more eyeballs? Should anyone really care what these two guys think of each other? Edited April 21, 2023 by RoyBatty is alive 2 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushypeaches Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 As a Harrisburg PA resident these past 10 years, it is widely known that LeSean McCoy is not the classiest of individuals here in his hometown However, when Jim Kelly was in one of our local breweries last year, I happened to be wearing my Bills gear and he bought my friends and I a round of drinks So that's how I differentiate between the two 17 2 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Super Fan Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 LeSean McCoy shouldn’t throw stones in glass houses he didn’t accomplish anything close to what Jim Kelly did as a Buffalo Bills player. I didn’t see LeSean McCoy leading the Buffalo Bills to one Super Bowl much less four Super Bowls. LeSean McCoy isn’t OJ Simpson, Joe Cribbs, Thurman Thomas as a Buffalo Bills running back let’s get that out of the way as a Bills fan 49 years and counting. So at best LeSean McCoy is 4th best back I have seen. Only counting what they did in a Bills uniform. I get Marshawn Lynch what he did after he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Thurman Thomas was the greatest RB of all time, IMO and ahead of his time. If he played in today's game he would be unstoppable. He basically was anyways. McCoy was a very good to maybe great RB. That's the difference.

He isn't even the greatest Bills RB.

Shemp Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 Maybe LeSean doesn't know or understand that bringing up those four Super Bowl losses still hurts every Bills fan who was around to see it. That first one should have been ours. I still cringe every time there's a 47 yard field goal attempt. So it sounds like McCoy's not only attacking Kelly, he's attacking Bills' Mafia. Not advisable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Jim Kelly didn't say anything to McCoy. It was McCoy responding to Kelly saying the Bills need a star running back. I'm not sure why McCoy felt like he needed to send some cheap shots Kelly's way, but he did. Kind of classless and I bet McCoy doesn't really understand what Kelly has been through in his life. He says Kelly talks and talks. Why? Because reporters ask to interview him and ask him questions. That's the only reason he talks. Is he just supposed to deny all interviews and refuse to answer questions? Why would he? 5 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corta765 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 But I don't see where he McCoy was wrong about the team itself. Lightening the load for Josh by adding a WR is more helpful then a RB. Kelly played when feature backs were a thing and real, that isn't the way anymore. Heck McCoy himself was a feature back and says as much. And he is not wrong either that Kelly loves to talk every offseason and everyone eats it up. It was a low blow to go about the SB losses and they seem to have a difference on quite a few things. But if the idea is what helps Josh more Shady is far more right then Jim. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCoy is probably still hurt from when Kelly said "I lost al lot of respect for him" cause that time he stretched during the national anthem after Trump made his remarks about players should be "fired" for kneeling. Nothing Jim said about adding a good running back called for that reaction. You'd think Shady, being a former RB, would agree. Maybe he felt triggered and thought Jim was attacking the current RB room and wanted to defend them. But he could barely name one of them so I don't know. He looks like an asshat for that reaction tho. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennstate10 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 The idea of Kelly being a loser since he was on the losing end of 4 SB is silly.

Nephilim17 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Is Shady's comment about Jim losing 4 straight a low blow? Normally, I'd say yes. But Jim said this about Shady: “I like LeSean McCoy, don’t get me wrong, but I totally, 100% I disagree with what he did,” Kelly said. “You want to kneel? Fine. But when you go and do what he did yesterday, that sort of bummed me out. And I lost a lot of respect for him. … You want to kneel? That’s your prerogative. I would never do that. I will always stand, thank the good Lord for everything I got. But when you disrespect the way he did and just go by his everyday duty in the national anthem being sung? Uh-uh. I won’t go for that.” I think any player who kneels like that and is called out by a team's alum will no longer regard that past star with reverence and respect. My $.02. I know 95% are taking Jim's side here. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Agree with those recognizing Shady still seems to be carrying some hurt feelings from comments Jim has made in the past. As crazy as it sounds elite athletes are some of the most sensitive people you will ever find on this earth(See MJ: And I took that personally) I don't think he was just trying to talk trash about him losing 4 SB's just for the sake of it even though it didn't come off good. Much ado about nothing IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Remember those huge contributions Shady made to his team during his two Super Bowl winning years? The big plays he made in the playoffs and the Super Bowls themselves? Nope, me neither. Shady's not wrong that Kelly came up short in four Super Bowls, but considering Shady himself only rode coattails in his Super Bowl years and didn't do much of anything to help his teams win key games those years...he should probably have a little bit of self awareness. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
