Greatest Bills TE of all time?

Pete Metzlaars, Ernie Warlick, Seymour, Costa, Remiersma? I'll go with Ernie Warlick, who was on a line that led Sports Illustrated to conclude that Jack Kemp was the most protected quarterback in the history of football, and in the championship game against San Diego based on a beat up offensive line, Warlick starred as a receiver in a two tight end offense.

I'll go with Metzelaars (68 in '93?). The guy was a great blocker and he lead the team in receptions one year. He wan't really flashy, but if it was 3rd and 7, he'd run 8 yards, curl, catch the ball and fall to the ground. First down.

 

Can't ask for much more than that, right?

Metzelaars is a clear winner. No one else even comes close.

10 years with the bills averageing 30 recpts. per season.

Very much a key piece of those teams, clutch player. He would get my vote.

Bramer had some awesome TE screens back in da day. Paul Seymor anyone? I mean he did get us Frank Lewis, gotta be worth something no?

Paul Seymour...remember he did some blocking for OJ as well. Paul Costa was a pretty good tight end as well in the late sixties. The problem with evaluation of TE's is to factor in their effectiveness as blockers.

Keith McKellar was solid in 89, 90, and 91. Then he started to suck.

But like a said, totally useless seymour, bum knee i think, got us Frank Lewis. Remember, for some reason the trade was not dependant on a physical of both players, and Seymour never played a down for the Stealers. One of the all time great trades in Bills history :(

Campbell reminds me of Costa. Pretty good blocker, and a better receiving TE than he gets a chance to show. 0:)

 

I liked Seymor and McKellers, but Metz might've been the best all-round TE we've had. I gotta take a pass on Warlick - I was too young to have an opinion on him.
