RyanC883 Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 3 hours ago, Doc said: He'll probably cement his HOF status this season. As for WOF, that's iffy. He's only been with the team for 4 years. I think Hall of Fame with great production on the Bills (he was the offense that broke the streak) warrants WOF. In fact, last season alone may warrant it already.
WhoTom Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Two more years playing at a high level ... and a ring.

As long as a player's identity is with another team then they shouldn't be on our wall of fame. Players do not pick an NFL team to be enshrined with. They are enshrined as a member of all the teams they were a part of James Lofton is counted as a Bills HoFr and he was only here 4 years. With your logic he is only a HOF for the Packers
H2o Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 I think another year or two of carrying the O, even though hopefully he doesn't have to, and the Bills still experiencing success will get him there.

mrags Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 The unfortunate thing. Is That shady is a HOFer. It wouldn’t matter if he played another 4-5 years as a Bill and surpassed all his previous stats he achieved with the Eagles. He will retire an Eagle. He will go into the HOF an Eagle. And I’d say, if that happens, he doesn’t deserve to be on The Wall

Shady is a great player and will end up having a great Bills career but he doesn’t belong on there. There are multiple guys up there that don’t belong. I can think of at least one RB whose name doesn't belong up there... I'd much rather see Shady on that wall than that other RB...

Maybe he'd rather retire as a member of the team that wanted him instead of the team that dumped him. 1
Jobot Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 He's gotta win some playoff games IMO to make up for his 'likely' shorter tenure than current guys on the WOF.
USABuffaloFan Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 First he needs to finish his career and retire. 6 hours ago, ProcessAccepted said: Agreed. Shady will go into the HOF as an Eagle not a Bill. As long as a player's identity is with another team then they shouldn't be on our wall of fame. If Shady wins in the playoffs I think he might go down as a Bills. Next 2 years will be critical to his legacy.

Gigs Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Personally I don’t think shady will want to retire before winning. I think he wants to go out like the Bus. If he can help us win a Super Bowl and still doesn’t hit 12k I say he’s not only on the Wall but makes it to the Hall. He’s a real talent and not some dime a dozen guy. He’s up there with OJ and Thurman on talent alone. 2

Elite Poster Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Change Pitt to Coe on his resume and play in Europe. Then he has a chance at a Gold Jacket, key to the city, and probably a piece of ownership too.
Fadingpain Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 McCoy is one of those athletes who will be associated with someone other than the Bills, despite his time here. He just doesn't feel like a home-grown WOF Bill to me.

MJS Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Part of it depends on him. When he retires does he see himself as a Philly guy or a Buffalo guy? His best years were in Philly. It's his home. You can't put a guy on the wall if he doesn't even view himself as a Bill through and through, can you? We didn't draft him and he didn't choose to come to Buffalo. Maybe if he plays for another 3 years, continues to put up good numbers, and wins a couple playoff games it will tip the scales for him and he'll want to retire a Buffalo Bill and will cherish his time in Buffalo more than Philly. At that point I would say heck yes, he belongs. And he'll belong in the Hall of Fame too.

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The old, "this guy said something bad about a black football player, so he's racist," card. And for the record, there have been several oxen in the past 18 years who've scored 14 or higher on the Wonderlic.
