Walking Tall Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 My bet is the Bills will be wearing throwbacks the game Cookie is honored which is 10/29 against tne Raiders. 2 old AFL rivals. I also noticed the Bills have a new standing buffalo sideline cap for this year.

He and Ralph had grown closer towards the end of each persons life. But as one who saw him play, he deserves it even if he only played three years. To me he is the best overall player ever to put on a Bills uniform, maybe the best ever. A dominant RB and blocker, placekicker, and would have been a stellar LB. i respect you Pops.

Helpmenow Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 The most punishing player the bills ever had.

No other player on the Wall only played 3 seasons, while being kicked off the team. Was he great in those 3 short seasons? Yes. So was Paup. Is he being considered? He was a selfish player & person. Every team that signed him, quickly tired of his crap and sent him packing. Poor choice. I don't know the history of his removal from the team. Based solely on him only being a Bill for 3 years, I don't think he should be on the Wall.

I am, I did, and if you had you wouldn't question him being up there.

I just think three years, regardless how great they may have been, isn't long enough to find a place on the Wall. It's just my opinion.

That doesn't mean they aren't worthy of the Wall or Hall. It's about time Cookie made the wall. He lit his team and the league up in the early days. And I believe he only played for one other NFL team, which cut him because he was up there in age and no longer very productive. Paup was great while he was here but spent a lot of time on the sidelines injured.
