Why: No other player did more in 8 months time (the length of his stay with the team) for the Bills. Am I wrong with my assessment ? Ticket sales, national attention, all things combined, its a good argument Coconut. I'm going with J K, and while this may sound a bit premature for some, Josh Allen a close 2nd, Hey, you can't blame a guy for liking good QB's... Edited April 30, 2020 by Figster
oldmanfan Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 I’m going to go back in time and say Cookie Gilchrist. I was at autograph day when I was 8 years old trying to get his autograph, and the bigger kids kept pushing me back. Cookie saw it, told them to let me in, then picked me up and put me on his shoulder. 1 2

Don’t forget the “key to the city” and he offered some painful (but necessary) critique of the organization. Coconut - I like that, but my heart is still in Western New York - I miss you guys. 1
MJS Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Jim Kelly, probably. But I'm young so most of my football memory is from after the Kelly days. Still, I've gone back and watched a lot from those days. Plus, seeing his recent fight with cancer and what him and his family has gone through and how they have dealt with it is pretty inspirational. From my childhood I've have to say that Eric Moulds was my favorite. Man he was good. More recently Kyle Williams is a favorite. He was a great leader and a great player as well. Fred Jackson was awesome too. Those two were the only reason to watch the Bills for many years. You always knew Fred Jackson would come to play, even if nobody else would. On today's team I'd have to go with Tre White and Josh Allen.
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Billy Shaw......what he did to linebackers was almost cruel. 1
Mojo44 Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 This one is too tough to pick just one. Since I go back to the glory days of the mid 60s I picked the entire awesome defense they had: Sestack, McDole, Dunaway, Day Tracey, Jacobs, Stratton Byrd, Clark, Saimes, Edgerson 1
Bigvinny Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Bruce Smith Completely dominant. Loved watching him play. Eric Moulds is another one of my favorites
billsbackto81 Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 78 All time great that I still feel doesn't get the appreciation he deserves because he has no ring. I know it's been mentioned many times but imagine Bruce in a 4-3. OMFG!!! He'd be the unquestioned defensive GOAT. He'd have a season record of 30 sacks along with 250+ career.
Pete Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Carwell Gardner. Tough ***** I want to have on my side. Awesome teammate that took ***** from no one Leonard Smith, Steve Tasker, Kyle Williams, Lorenzo Alexander, and Bob Chandler are some of my other favorites. And oh yeah- Joe DaLamielleure and Blake Costanzo, because they were cool to me 1
bopper2 Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Chris Speilman. A short time with the Bills, but a tough throw back line backer, who walked away from the game to provide care for his wife when she was diagnosed with cancer. As someone who lost a mother, father and wife to cancer, I couldn’t help but admire the man, as much as the player. 3

Chandler#81 Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Off the beaten path a bit, but the all time most comical Bill was and still is Paul McQuire. 1

As a result, I’d like to recognize the 1964, 1965, 1966 Bills teams as whole and say thank you for their hard work and for establishing a great foundation for the franchise, the city of Buffalo, and Western New York. Okay, I'm an old guy. How about Butch Byrd, Albert Dubenion, and lookie lookie, here comes Cookie. Edited April 30, 2020 by longtimebillsfan 1
