Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I don’t see he’s even surpassed fjax’s wall worthiness and I don’t think Fred should be there btw. He’s not yet even passed cj spiller on Bills all time rushing list.
4_kidd_4 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 No one goes up until Kyle Orton gets his due respect. 1 1

It doesn’t need to be credible with anyone outside the organization or the fan base imo. Well then its settled. Let's go find the most liked Bills players and get them on the wall. Mike Jasper is my vote, I like that guy, he was awesome, he tried so hard, I don't care what kind of career he had. Kyle Orton, That gun slinging whiskey drinking SOB, He was awesome, put him up. Sam Adams, on the wall! Takeo Spikes On the wall! London Fletcher on the wall!

Neither was ever one of the best players at their position. I played in as many Pro Bowls as Hansen. It’s a combination of longevity and impact. McCoy is light on longevity but way ahead of some WOF players in terms of impact. I have no idea why they are, don't ask me that. I don't think they should be. McCoy may end up in the HOF because of his career, but with the Bills, I don't wan't him on the wall, yet. Contrary to many people Hansen (11 seasons) and Richter (14 seasons) were unsung heroes. They may not of grabbed a lot of headlines but they contributed to the success of the team. 26 minutes ago, 4_kidd_4 said: No one goes up until Kyle Orton gets his due respect. then the wall will remain as it is
Chris from Rochester Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I said yes, however I would like to see another 2-3 solid years from him in a Bills uniform and a C on his jersey to make me feel better about it. I love how he has embraced the community after not wanting to come here
Buffalo716 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 If he retires with over 5000 rushing yards here absolutely... He just ran us to the playoffs for the first time in 17 years. He will be a Eagle/Bill in the HoF so why can't he be on our WoF

DrDawkinstein Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Yes. Assuming he tags on 2 more equivalent seasons. He has been, and still is, our entire offense. And even if we bring in a new QB, he'll still need to rely on Shady. He's a big star in the league and reps the Bills well. He will deserve to be up on the wall when it's all said and done.

Buffalo716 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Just now, CountDorkula said: Because currently the majority of his career and success was spent in Philly, and He is still known for his days as an Eagle. If he plays 2 more years here... he would have spent 5 years here and 6 in Philly... not too mention getting 10k here and probably 12 k... he is on the right track ... he is a Bill now, not an Eagle

McCoy may end up in the HOF because of his career, but with the Bills, I don't wan't him on the wall, yet. The precedent is set though. Those guys are already up there so it is fair to ask “why not Shady if Richter?” The WOF criteria is not cleary defined but I can EASILY make the argument that Shady has already been more important to the franchise than those guys.

For the past ten years i’ve Been banging his name and especially on here with deaf ears.

Those guys don’t deserve to be immortalized. You have to do extraordinary things to earn that honor. Being a quality player on a good team isn’t criteria to be honored forever.

The Bills historically choked in those games, they did not this time.
MJS Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Not a long enough tenure for me yet. After a couple more years I could get in board.

So is performance. I don't think anyone is arguing McCoy goes on the Wall if his career ended today. But a reasonable projection over 2-3 more years and he very well could be. 1
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 McCoy has yet to have a "WOW" type of season in his 3 years with us. I don't believe there is any official criteria for making the WOF but I think he needs at least another two solid seasons of production with us like he has had in his first three.
