Favorite Bills RB

[Bruce_Stools]

Who is your favorite RB that has played for the Bills and why? The RB could have found more success after their stint in Buffalo(Lynch) or not(Jackson, Spiller).  Maybe you prefer O.J. because of his role in naked gun. Any reason at all.

[Gugny]

Fred.

 

Love the DIII story.  Love how hard he played.  Love that he never complained about anything and just focused on playing football.

 

Consummate pro.  Awesome Bill.

[K-9]

All due respect to TT, Shady, and the rest but they don’t come close to what OJ was on the field. 

[Soda Popinski]

Fred because he worked and worked and worked and earned everything he got.   Front offices continued to doubt him and kept drafting RBs and Fred just kept on doing his thing.

Always have been a big fan of Kenneth Davis myself.

I voted Thurman but I really loved watching Travis Henry run. That guy was a beast.

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

For a brief moment in time, Travis Henry was really good. He’s not my favorite. At this point, Shady is. But man it’s easy to forget how good Henry was.

As my username says, backto81. Joe Cribbs was the one player growing up following football that I truly admired. His skill set during that era was a real pleasure to watch. Remember the network show "Superstars" back then? He was a regular. Great RB...

 

But..... I'm a big T. Thomas fan and enjoyed watching every game he played of his HOF career.

Thurman....because no one was better at finding the sticks on a third down conversion...That's what separates it for me...He was clutch at the big moments so many times.  Its tough to compare the others because Thurman played in the highest number of significant games by far...

Very underrated and Very good!

I voted Fred, but Willis and Antowain were very close.

Ok, so we've confirmed you're younger than 25.

OJ of course.  Joe Cribbs and Thurmal also in the money.   

[BringBackFergy]

I voted for Joe Cribbs because Ferguson, Cribbs, Butler were my favorites as a kid. Cribbs was a stud.

 

Thurman and Freddie are extremely close seconds.

CJ Spiller.  If only the Bills had found a way to get him in space...

Too bad Elon Musk hadn't surfaced yet....

[wppete]

No love for Shady anyone? 

[US Egg]

O.J., when he played, put Buffalo in the National spotlight like no other player in team history. 

 

....and after he played too.

Or off, for that matter... O_O

 

I wear a #34 during the season, so you know where my vote went!

My cousin and I had a great exchange with Marshawn a while back, but after he had gone to Seattle. We got an autograph and my cousin commented that he missed seeing Marshawn run people over in Buffalo. He definitely meant it in a football way, but immediately realized it could be taken the wrong way with Marshawn's Buffalo history. Marshawn gave us a mean mug for like 5 seconds and then broke into hysterical laughter. Fun times.
