Have to give some love to a guy with negative rushing yards for his Buffalo Bills career. 😄

He did that on a team that led the NFL in rushing yards, to boot. A very Billsian accomplishment.

I don't think wang got 1 regular season snap

 

But, but, everyone needs a a Wang.

 

As far as recent years or let’s say under McBeane, Floyd was the most impactful player to me and loved watching him.  I don't blame him for chasing the dollars.

My initial thought was Bryce Paup but looks like he played 3 years. Guess I just remember the one dominant season he had.

 

So instead I'll say Reggie Bush.

It’s wild that every single person on this message board has more rushing yards in a Bills uniform than Reggie Bush.

I’m having a hard time finding a more impactful one year stint than Leonard Floyd.

[Malazan]

If they're on the roster for years, but only play the equivalent of a single season.. does that count?

Vontae Davis

I love the topic @BillsShredder83

There are a long list of guys that were here for a minute. The TO thing was fun. One guy that I haven’t seen mentioned is Karlos Williams. He was looked like a future star but smoked / ate himself out of the league after a year. He deserves mention.

 

I remember him. RB from FSU. Showed promise, and I liked his interviews. I thought maybe we had something there.

I’ll go with Brandon Spikes.

Nick Barnett, kinda like Brandon Spikes, really embraced the Bills fanbase.  Seemed like they enjoyed playing here even though their best days were behind them.  

 

Kavika Mitchell, on the other hand, was all like "stay away from my house!" and "don't paint ***** in my yard!".  He didn't get us at all.

I'm on Team Emmanuel Sanders.  Such a cool interview and still enough juice on the field.  Wish we had him in his prime.

No one liked us less than Chidi Ahanotu did in his 1 year. That dude was commuting from Toronto.

I don't know if "beloved" is the proper term at this point, but in the moment the Kiko Alonso year was pretty fun

I think was 97 yards. I heard Fitzpatrick talk about it (or maybe it was TO). Broke the huddle and lined up. Both of them looked at the defensive set and thought, "oh, boy!" Fitz and TO made brief eye contact.  Then the snap, and they just did it. 

 

TO actually didn't have such a good year in Buffalo. He was, as you say, a total pro. But every year in the league after his fourth season, TO went for more than 1000 yards, except for two years when he would have made it, but for injuries, and his single season in Buffalo.  His problem in Buffalo wasn't injuries; it was named Trent Edwards. For whatever reason, Edwards did not throw the ball to Owens. That ended when he was benched for Ryan Fitzpatrick.  It was pretty clear that Fitz's thought process was something like, "Hey, I'm a mediocre QB on a bad team that happens to have a HOF pass receiver. I'm throwing it to him."  Owens' targets and receptions went up. If Fitz had started the whole season, Owens would have been over 1000 yards. 

 

That's because TO ran his routes beyond the first down marker.

Anything more than 3 yards past the LOS was out of Trent's field of view.

Booth Lusteg.. felt bad when he missed that FG against the Chargers in 66.. then was jumped by fans p-d off   .. strange..

My favorite 1 year bill........

 

Damn that's a tough question cus I support the name on the front not the back

 

TO and his 98 yard bills td is something I'll always remember.. Mack hollins is a good dude 

 

But I root for the team so that's tough to gauge
