Pitta Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Very interesting stat: "...all of the Bills with at least one career reception combined -- Lee Evans, Josh Reed, Roscoe Parrish, Steve Johnson, James Hardy, Derek Schouman, Derek Fine, Dominic Rhodes, Marshawn Lynch, Fred Jackson and Corey McIntyre -- have 997 receptions." Every Bills player combined: 997 receptions Terrell Owens: 991 receptions That is a snippet from THIS ESPN article. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOBILLS78 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 It's not extremely surprising. Owens has been in the league for 28 years and the other candidates are relatively young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lv-Bills Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yeah but Josh Reed blocks with the best of them downfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the point, when was the last time any Bill on this roster has had even remotely close to any 1 season that Owens has had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what's your point? We get it, Owens has had a real nice career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsWatch Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 That is a snippet from THIS ESPN article. Check it out! You forgot the most important applicable part: Bills fans go bonkers for Owens We met Tim Graham at Draft Party and he knows first hand how absurd some fanatics get.

murra Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 That's not the point, when was the last time any Bill on this roster has had even remotely close to any 1 season that Owens has had. 2006 Lee......82 1292 15.8 8 TO.......85 1180 13.9 13 Define remotely.

Pitta Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 2006Lee......82 1292 15.8 8 TO.......85 1180 13.9 13 Define remotely. You took by far Lee Evans' best season and put it up against an average T.O year and in the most important category (TDs) Lee isn't even close. I don't understand all the hatred for T.O, he's the best receiver we've had since Reed. And BTW, not that I know him personally, but when I met Reed last year, he was one of the cockiest people I've ever met and refused to give me an autograph.

Adam Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yeah but Josh Reed blocks with the best of them downfield. Yeah, if he doesn't help out your fantasy team, he is worthless......why both to fix the offensive line You took by far Lee Evans' best season and put it up against an average T.O year and in the most important category (TDs) Lee isn't even close.

You are comparing apples and oranges- Evans is a deep threat, Owens is more of a possession guy, despite the fact that he can get deep at times. An Owens type WR will always have more catches and more TD's. People hate Owens because he is an attention monger that will sacrifice the good of the team to get the spotlight on himself. He is a problem, but the 24/7 media that fans justify adds to the problem. He is a very good WR, but is on the downside of his career- he will do well for the 15 QB's that throw to him this year. Moulds was pretty good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that Owens is more of a scoring threat and the best, most consistent receiver we've had in awhile and we should be excited about this.

We need a running game....Owens is a good player when he isn't causing problems, but the O-line is much more important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most here are excited and anxious to see how he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
