gggbills Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 I seem to remember a WR by the name of Early playing for the Bills, is that correct? And if so, was his first name Quetin (spelling), was this the same guy that played for the Saints??
MikeG Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 YES, Quinn Early played for the Bills... same WR played for Saints

ICE Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Quinn Early. good solid WR, misused IMHO. Only had one season with Kelly.

gantrules Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 I remember being Hyped up over him coming to Buffalo...and then...not a whole heck of a lot... 1995 NO 81/1087/8 1996 Buff 50/798/4 1997 Buff 60/853/5

Only had one season with Kelly. 139817[/snapback] I thought he was a ham-and-egger who Butler gave way too much $$$ to.2nd-round draft pick by the Chargers, cut by them a couple years later for poor play... gets picked up by the Saints & put together some good #'s, but hardly a #3 WR, let alone a #2 IMO.
BuffOrange Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 What are you guys talking about - I thought he was very solid for a #2 WR. He had quite a game vs. Jacksonville in the playoffs, but the defense blew it.

BRH Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Still holds the record for longest TD reception by a Bill if I recall right. 95 yards. From Todd Friggin' Collins. His man fell down at midfield as Early caught the ball and he ambled down the field for six. As I recall, Early also fell, but the refs ruled that he was never touched by the defender.

Greg de'Ville Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 ...I called him Quitt Early. Was OK, nothin' special as a Bill.
stuckincincy Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 ICE said: Quinn Early. good solid WR, misused IMHO. Only had one season with Kelly. 139817[/snapback] Yep. Early was a gamer.

This one might need a little more research. I believe the longest TD reception in Bills history was Jack Kemp to Glen Bass for 96 yards. help me out bros... is this correct?

Don't forget, he came from New Orleans, as primarily the featured receiver, on pretty mediocre New Orleans teams. In Buffalo, he was the definitive #2, behind Andre Reed. He came to Buffalo, when we entering a new age of mediocrity. Not only did Kelly have a down year in 1996, but Todd Collins was relegated to being a caretaker QB in 1997, and if I recall, Dan Henning ran one of the worst offensive systems we have seen in the modern Bills era. Sometimesl you have to put stats into perspective. I don't know. Earlys' Buffalo stats look pretty decent to me, for a #2 receiver.
runner Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Quinn Early was a good athlete, running track as well as playing football at Iowa. I believe he still holds the long jump record at Iowa.
