Howard Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Fred is above tashard Choice but only by a few. Tashard should be at 6 or 7.

hondo in seattle Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Curiously, Bills history has far more good RBs than QBs. My top 5: 1. OJ 2. Thurman 3. Freddy 4. Cookie 5 Cribbs I think Fred belongs on the stadium's Wall of Fame. In fact, I really think Freddy had a shot at being a HOFer if he had (1) played behind better lines, and (2) stayed healthy. If I'm not mistaken, Fred lead the league in yards after contact one year. I know he was among the leaders for a couple of years. No back in the NFL during Fred's prime did more-with-less the way Fred did. But he was more than just a good runner, he was a complete back - he could block, catch, and would inspire his teammates even when the Bills had no shot at the playoffs. Neither stats nor playoff accomplishments will back me up but I think if circumstances were different, we'd be arguing who's better Thurman or Freddy. A lot of talent and power accompanied Fred's big heart. He's a solid #3 for me and I'm tempted to call him 2b. Where is Shaud Williams? I was at the Stick in 2004 when Shaud ran 17 times for 93 yards. The Bills won 41-7 and Williams looked great that day. 9er fans were asking me, "Who's that running back?" McGahee ran for 102 before leaving the game.
Homey D. Clown Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) 1. OJ 2. Thurman 3. Gilchirst 4. Cribbs 5. Jackson 6. Lynch 7. Henry 8. McGahee/Spiller/Davis/Riddick 9. Harmon 10. The rest Thurman was my favorite player and is the only signed jersey I own. But OJ had once in a life time skills. Jackson was far more impactful than Cribbs was. He(Cribbs) was also a selfish player if my memory serves me. If this list is based upon just the numbers, then my top 5 looks like this: 1. OJ 2. Thurman 3. Gilchirst 4. Jackson 5. Cribbs If it's based upon leadership and the ability to carry an entire team on his shoulders, then Freddie moves much closer to the top of this list. Edited September 3, 2015 by Homey D. Clown
