Royale with Cheese Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Good Corner and excellent returner. In my 30 years of watching Bills football, I don't think there was a more talented kick returner with the Bills. He had very good vision and was so fluid in his cuts...didn't look like he put a hard move on a guy but he did. It just was so smooth it looked effortless.

Yes. Greer and McGee were both good. I believe they were our starting CB tandem for a year or two. Greer had another couple good seasons with the Saints when he left Buffalo and won a Super Bowl with them. Bills have never lacked talent at the CB position over the last twenty seasons.
Jerry Jabber Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 McGee was a great kick returner. One of the great players the Bills had on their crappy teams during the drought.

I seem to remember thinking Greer was the better of the two when they were both our starters. When you combine McGee's explosive return ability though he was possibly our best player at the time which I believe was the JP Losman/Trent Edwards era.

Still, though, as I stated above I really liked the kid. I'm almost 100% certain Greer was on that '09 Super Bowl team for the Saints. Yeah it was 2009, his first season with the Saints. He was a Bill from 2004 to 2008. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GreeJa22.htm Edited May 25, 2018 by Sammy Watkins' Rib 1

Deleted my post because I thought I might have been wrong, but they indicate he signed in 2011. I will keep checking. EDIT: You are 100% correct. My bad. It was his second deal with them, it appears.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 I'd love to come across a cheap McGee jersey on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Terrence-McGee-24-Buffalo-Bills-Youth-Sizes-S-M-L-XL-Premier-Sewn-Jersey/191853865346?hash=item2cab61a982:m:m-11N_eXfWuRLJESsyZGKQA:sc:USPSFirstClass!93309!US!-1 Dang. Brand new Terrence McGee jersey for less than $12. Free shipping. Too bad those Bledsoe/JP/Trent era jersey's totally suck though.

MJS Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 18 hours ago, 1st&ten said: If I remember right he was coming on as a corner back & then the injury bug hit him. He played for the Bills for 10 years and was a darn good corner, plus has 5 return TD's. 2 time all-pro and a pro bowler in 2004. His last couple of years he definitely was hampered by injuries. 12 hours ago, TigerJ said: Interestingly, when he was drafted, he was not seen as a sure thing at CB. He couldn't backpedal like a normal CB, and had to learn after he was drafted. Fortunately, he picked it up quickly and had a nice, if too short career in Buffalo. Short career in Buffalo? He played here for 10 years.

When you combine McGee's explosive return ability though he was possibly our best player at the time which I believe was the JP Losman/Trent Edwards era. Both were starters 2007, 2008. Stats easily favored McGee those two years as the better CB. Ints, PDs, tackles.

The guy could play corner, too. I remember this play. It was astonishing, but in classic Bills fashion, it was the end of the half and the clock ran out. 1
T master Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Another Bills moment that came up that much short of glory !! ?

billspro Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) While we are remembering McGee, how about this performance. One of the best days for a corner in franchise history. Go to the 9 minute mark. Edited May 26, 2018 by billspro
