26CornerBlitz Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hated to see how injuries curtailed his career. He was a really good CB when healthy and a great KR guy when he first broke in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 McGee is my favorite Bill since the Super Bowl years. What a class act and dynamic playmaker. I wish him the best. (TM, set up an annuity and get a financial planner you trust!) Second best Bills 4th round pick of all time (behind Reed)? Interesting curio fact....thanks. Yes....Reed was our only other(?) productive 4th rounder in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Good luck #24!!! And thanks!!!...One of my favorite Bills players over these lean years... In his prime. He was the best dam punt catcher in the league. Another Billwho gave his all, only to be burned by crappy teams, year in and year out. Thanks, and Good Luck #24!!!!!!! When the Bills played the Saints in San Antonio, after Katrina, I was sitting a row or two back from the sideline, right where McGee almost completed one of the greatest returns in Bills history...came up just a yard or two short. 24 could stop at full speed and do a 180 on a dime. He was the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 He was the best Kick Returner the Bills have ever had, and I have asked many a Bills fan if they could think of any former Bills player who was better at returning kicks than McGee. No one could think of any. Best by a mile. One of the regrets I have with McGee is that his move to the starting line-up as a corner robbed us of his kick-returning opportunities.

Never NEVER Give-up Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Great player when healthy. His body has betrayed him the last few years. The end of his career is near, though I hope he can play somewhere for another year or two. Buffalo, going young, is no longer the right fit for him. When I saw what his cap hit was going to be this year, I figured his release was inevitable. Best of luck to him - he was always a quiet, classy, friendly guy. He deserves nothing but GOOD things!

Had he scored it would have been an all-time highlight we'd be seeing all the time. But because he was just short of the goal line we'll never see that play again. He must have run 150-175 yards on that play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 $2,209,375 Where did that number come from? As was mentioned, the News says his cap figure is $4.6MM, though I guess that doesn't necessarily mean they will save that much if he's cut... http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130213/SPORTS/130219671/beerball-1004 "The Bills’ top 12 cap figures: Mario Williams ($12.4 million), Fitzpatrick ($10.45 million), Kelsay ($5.975 million), Kyle Williams ($5.95 million), Stevie Johnson ($5.67 million), Marcell Dareus ($5.56 million), C.J. Spiller ($5.04 million), Terrence McGee ($4.6 million), Mark Anderson ($4 million), Brad Smith ($3.75 million), Fred Jackson ($3.7 million) and Eric Wood ($3.34 million)."

Buftex Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Right before halftime. We were at the front of the upper deck on that goal line. An amazing bit of broken field running. Yeah, we were at just about the 15-20 yard line or so...I almost had a heart attack on that play..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just about to post that this play was my favorite of McGee's career. The sad thing was that it came at the end of the 1st half and time expired and the Bills got no points out of it.

jjmac Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Was there a hurry? McGee one of my favorite players. Great KO return guy. He was making starting CB money, not KR money, and he couldn't stay healthy enough to earn his pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 When the Bills played the Saints in San Antonio, after Katrina, I was sitting a row or two back from the sideline, right where McGee almost completed one of the greatest returns in Bills history...came up just a yard or two short. To me that was the greatest non scoring play in NFL history. Surely the best I have ever seen. It was Week 4, 2005. So sad he didn't score on the play, it would be an all-time highlight reel run. Thanks for giving your all, Terrence. You were a great Bill and great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpleman Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 A real soldier who gave his best for a lot of really bad teams in Buffalo. He gave his all every year on the field and his injuries were the result of his giving his all.Good luck to him in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpmenow Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 He had that return versus the saints that he almost scored on. One of the best returns not for a TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 He reminded me of another Bills CB, Robert James. A good guy and talented player whose knee injuries effectively ended a career. I wish him well. He was a quiet guy who knew how to play the game. That return against NO Saints was the best even if he was came up short.

Tipster19 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks Terrence for being a Bill, you got my respect and admiration for the class act that you are. #24 represented us well, I feel for him for getting stuck on so many crappy teams and fruitless seasons. Hopefully he makes The Wall, he's the kind of player that we all hoped to have representing our organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
