Mark Vader Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Without having looked at any of the comments in this thread: Jay Riemersma London Fletcher John Holocek Rian Lindell Thomas Smith John Fina. let the blasting begin what about The "K-Gun" offense is commonly thought to named after quarterback Jim Kelly, but was actually named for the Bills tight end, Keith McKeller. http://en.wikipedia....urry-up_offense Fina- He was alright. A solid player but not a great one. McKellar- Yeah he seems to be forgotten and I don't know why.
Braedenstearns Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 I'm going to say CJ Spiller. I know some people thinks he's horrible and what not. But Im still going to stick with CJ.
jahbonas Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Joe Cribbs 4 years 4 pro bowls 1983 led the team in BOTH rushing and receiving returned punts
Webster Guy Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Big Pat Williams Donald Jones Aaron Williams Leonard Smith The Little guy club: Shaud Williams, Roscoe, Corey Moore, Our midget trainer guy, And of course our darkhorse longshot TE from last year's draft Chris Gragg. (shhhhhh)
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Hands down Phil Hansen. We used to call Phil Hansen " Mr. Consistency" he wasn't flashy like Bruccccceeee, but he brought his lunch pail everyday and he got the job done. +1 Fina- He was alright. A solid player but not a great one. McKellar- Yeah he seems to be forgotten and I don't know why. IIRC he was always being talked down as mediocre player or worse I have another to add to go along with Fina Jeff Wright Edited June 29, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever
boyst Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Also, I think that Bill Jackson fellow is pretty underrated. Seems like a solid dude. But, I am an idiot, so what do I know? Guess I'll find out in Sept.
Mark Vader Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Mt. Washington. Seriously? He was never underrated.
#34fan Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 We can argue about past guys all day. -Right now, the most underrated Bill on the roster is Duke Williams. IMO, he's a FAR better option at free safety than A. Williams. Duke is highly instinctive, covers ground fast, and tackles well. The kid is a star that just needs a chance to shine. I truly hope he gets that from Schwartz.
Dragonborn10 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 1. Cookie Gilchrist - until he is on the wall he is underrated 2. Aaron Schobel 3. Joe Cribbs
Martifal Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 I started following the Bills in the 70s back then I was a big Tony Greene fan you never here about the guy anymore but if my memory serves me well he had a four year stretch where he had around 30 interceptions, not certain but probably the best 4 year stretch in team history he would be my choice.
Charles Romes Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Seriously? He was never underrated. What makes Ted Washington underrated is that he is not in the hall. He should be. If he played all 17 years with one team he would have been in first ballot. Even today you hear people say "we need a guy like a Ted Washington to clog the middle." There was only one of them.
vincec Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 1. Cookie Gilchrist - until he is on the wall he is underrated 2. Aaron Schobel 3. Joe Cribbs Finally, someone mentions Schobel. A very, very good pass rusher forgotten on some of the worst teams in franchise history.
Chandler#81 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Evidently, I have to go look up the definition of under rated. Schoebel, Smerlas, Bennett, Cribbs?? 20+ Pro Bowls between them! THAT's what we're calling under rated?? While Phil Hanson was routinely snubbed in Hawaii, he's a WOFer, which is HIGHLY rated. I'll put my Bobby Chandler love up against anybody, but while he was snubbed League-wide, he was BELOVED here during his career. Maybe the OP could help better define the objective.. In the meantime, the Chandler#81 dictionary defines under rated as a Bill of 3+ years who wasn't recognized as great by local fans nor national observers, but who was an instrumental team cog who performed with consistent excellence.

I see what you are saying. Ted Washington was a great Buffalo Bill. He was a true Nose Tackle. Not really sure if he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Then again, John Randle & Cortez Kennedy are in the Hall of Fame, in which case you might have a good point.

Not to pee on your Bobby Chandler Cheerios but he was a notorious coke head. There was a house in North Buffalo that was owned by the largest drug dealer in WNY during the 70's & 80's. Chandler along with a European guy that played for the Sabres in the mid 70's used to be the most frequent guests (Danny Gare & Reggie McKenzie as well). Chandler & Jacques Richard actually used to pass out there and just stay (Josh Hamilton style). The drug dealer's son was my uncle's best friend when they were kids. Chandler apparently used to go right from the house to the games and play all messed up. I know that it's off topic but an interesting story nonetheless.
K-9 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I started following the Bills in the 70s back then I was a big Tony Greene fan you never here about the guy anymore but if my memory serves me well he had a four year stretch where he had around 30 interceptions, not certain but probably the best 4 year stretch in team history he would be my choice. GREAT CALL here! For my money, he's the second best safety to ever lace 'em up for the Bills. Right behind George Saimes. GO BILLS!!!
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 And here's another two for ya- there was a time when Terrence McGee and Roscoe Parrish were so good at returning kicks and punts respectively and no one ever talks about that. I would venture to say that they may be two of the top 20 return men in NFL history. I remember back in '08ish when every time Roscoe fielded a punt he had a chance to break it. McGee, in his prime, was the best pure kick returner I have ever seen. The guy was fast, smooth, great moves, and read his blocks beautifully. Such a shame he got pulled off kick returns when he started being a stud corner.
