ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 There just seemed to be a logical hole in the threads about how Bills players are rated, so I thought I'd fill it. My vote is for Brian Moorman. He seems to be accurately rated as a washed up punter. He's never been the same since he took that big shot in the Pro Bowl. Kinda like when Fitz took that big shot from the Arizona safety after a promising start to a season one year. Which Bill do you think is most correctly rated, and why?

BringBackFergy Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Andy Legursky....not sure why we ever let him and Chas Rhinegold leave. All Pro O-linemen don't grow on trees. They were rated above average and their performance post-Bills drives the nail in our coughin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Garrison Sanborn. He's our worst long snapper. Nobody disputes this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 That was Trent. Trent never made the Pro Bowl, so I'm pretty sure it was Moorman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Frog Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Trent Edwards got crushed by Adrian Wilson in week 5 at AZ back in 08, not Fitz. Research beforehand does wonders on this board. To answer your question, the most correctly rated Bills player on the current roster is probably Cordy Glenn. He is not the ultimate LT, but he does a standup job.

ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Trent Edwards got crushed by Adrian Wilson in week 5 at AZ back in 08, not Fitz. Pretty much everybody now agrees that Trent was over-rated by Bill Walsh, so if you want to nominate Trent, you should do it in the "over-rated" thread. Besides, they play the Pro Bowl in Hawaii, not AZ. Edited June 30, 2014 by ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Trent went to the ProBowl in 07. Trent Cole of the Eagles did go to the Pro Bowl in 07: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2007/probowl.htm But even if he was correctly rated as a Pro Bowl caliper player, he was never a Bill as far as I know. Can't say whether he ever lived with his sister, though. By the way, that 2007 Pro Bowl roster lists Fitzgerald as a Pro Bowl receiver from AZ, so maybe that's where the confusion arises about Fitz taking a shot in AZ. Lots of people got the Fitzpatrick name wrong and called him Fitzgerald even though he played in Buffalo for quite a while. I always preferred just using his nickname - - the "Amish Rifle" - - didn't matter to me that he wasn't a techno-geek.

Rocky Landing Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I'm going to vote EJ Manuel, since that would make the least amount of sense in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are widely varying opinions about Manuel on this board, so if you're saying that it makes no sense to consider Manuel correctly rated, that's bound to be true for some posters, but not for others. I would have preferred a little more thought about whose correctly rated and whose not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 . . . Research beforehand does wonders on this board. . . . Who has time for research? But just to satisfy you, here's proof that it was Moorman who took the big hit in the Pro Bowl. If you watch the clip to the end, you'll see that the hit was so big, they even talked about it on Japanese TV. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTtOaDvf8co Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess which conference the Cardinals are in? It's not my fault there's so much confusion about the hit the Amish Rifle took.

He is not the ultimate LT, but he does a standup job. Cordy Glenn is pretty good, but he isn't the same caliper player as either Lawrence Taylor or LaDainian Tomlinson. So regardless of which one you consider the ultimate LT, I have to agree with you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
