The BLUES Brothers Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 My son was a big Aaron Williams fan, so I surprised him with an autographed helmet purchased at a charity event. It was awful to see his NFL career cut short after he was cheap shot blocked by jarvis landry - he had many more years until that sob took it away from him.

Kaenon Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Tough one here... None of them hurt - but the short list of guys I wish we would've kept (at the time they left): - Byrd - Bradham - Gilmore - Robert Woods - Darby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Only two for me: 1. Fred Jackson - the player he was for us, plus the way it was handled. The time was right, but it still stung because it was bungled. 2. Jason Peters - Ralf. Was. Cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranded in Boston Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 For me, Jerry Butler. He was so explosive his first few years opposite Frank Lewis, then blew out his knee in 1983. He clawed his way back to the league in 1985, then became a key veteran component of Jim Kelly's first Bills' receiving squad in 1986. But it all ended too quickly: he shattered his ankle on a spectacular touchdown catch against Miami, and never played another down. Talk about a shooting star ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amprov56 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 16 hours ago, BADOLBILZ said: Gilmore hurt because they got NOTHING for him and it was basically a certainty that he would be excellent and win a SB with NE. The Watkins trade was demoralizing because they had had a very good scoring offense that also lead the NFL in big plays in both 2015 and 2016..........and the Watkins trade basically guaranteed that they were going back to the stone age offensively. I can't unsee those horrible 2017 and 2018 offenses. Just disgusting terrible football. Call Doctor Phil, he can help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Most of the players listed above were at the end of their careers. I looked at it more as what players went on to bigger & better things after they left. Top 2 are Wyatt Teller & Jason Peters, with Marshawn Lynch not far behind. Guys retire or get let go or leave in free agency, all as part of the business. But my top 3 were given away for pennies on the dollar & flourished in their new locations.

dma0034 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Fitzpatrick. I loved his personality and if we are being honest he was the best QB the Bills had between Bledsoe and Allen. I think the Bills break the drought sooner if they hold onto Fitz and don't draft EJ but who knows? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Freddy was the last one that bothered me. He wanted to remain a Buffalo Bill and would have accepted any role. He outperformed his contract every year and outperformed all the competition that was brought in and gifted a starting role. If anyone deserved another year and an opportunity to go out on his own terms it was Fred Jackson. It was a pleasure watching him perform. Thats it, I'm taking 15 minutes to watch Freddy highlights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toomstone.Part.Duex Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Tre is a difficult one because of the injuries. Kyle, Fred, Stevie. Another one that nobody mentioned was Aaron Schobel.

hondo in seattle Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) During the drought years... Eric Moulds, Fred Jackson, Kyle Williams. All of them would have been better known & appreciated around the NFL had they played on better teams. I was disappointed they didn't have an opportunity to play on better Bills squads.

Too bad about his neck injury. And as a TV football analyst he was a riot both college and pro. That was one tough football player. They just don't play like that anymore.

Yup that was sad. But he was a stand up guy and really tried to help his wife in every way he could. He is one of my all time favorite football players. And seemed to be a really good person too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Seeing Moulds go honestly sucked as I know we blew a career of someone that should have been in the HOF with above average QB play. A huge wasted talent with QB hell all the years he was here. Dude just went out there and played friggin hard for us for so many years. Bruce/Reed/Thurman sucked too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
