BillsNYC Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Me too, shouldn't even be a tough choice if you only take his football career into consideration. Something tells me Thomas will come out on top though, even if fans don't vote that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 If people are objective and vote based on what happened on the field, he would win. Would he be invited to attend if he wins? I expect that Thurman will win because alot of voters will judge OJ based on his off field activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a player to be named later Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 It is interesting that they only provide one spot with the RB's. Undoubtly because of OJ... What is also intersting is they do not provide a spot for full back, rather place Cookie Gilchrist under running back. I think that there is little doubt that he should be on the all time team, however he has been estranged from the orgization for years. It is too bad that Ralph and Cookie can't reconcile while they are both still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsNYC Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I vote carwell gardner for fullback Sam Gash hands down....first time he was here and not used as a f-ing WR half the time like he was with Mularkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I was conflicted about this. I also agree with the poster who commented that they probably limited it to one RB in an attempt to avoid OJ making the team. I was torn between OJ and Thurman. A case could be made for both. I ended voting for Thurman not because of off the field, but because of Thurman's importance to the no huddle offense as well as his career stats. Without Thurman (in my view), there would have been no K-Gun offense. He was the one who created the mismatches because of his ability in both the running and passing games. They should have had two RBs on the team though. The Juice was the most exciting guy that I personally have seen run the football. It was a thing of beauty. Just like I really enjoyed Gilbert winding up around our net and skating down ice. It was exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've always thought that the Juice was the most exciting runner ever. Adrian Peterson is this generation's Simpson and he's not anywhere near O.J.'s talent IMO. I think I'm voting for Thurman though. Very tough call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggled with it as well and went with Thomas for the diversity he brought to the offense vs OJ left, OJ right and ... Frankly, if there were 2 RB selections, I'd have gone with Wray Carlton as the other, but then may have opted for Juice as his running mate.

Jim Braxton was the best. A fullback capable of rushing for over 100 yards and a great blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills all time leading AFL rusher w/ 4.1ypc avg. There's a 'GET SERIOUS' reason he's on this ballot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
