BisonMan Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Mine are (in order of franchise importance): Ralph (no franchise...or league...without him) Bruce (best player at his position for any Bill) Jim (4 SuperBowls and led the most exiting team we’ve ever had) OJ...face chiseled off the mountain...replaced by Thurman. I shook OJ’s hand at a little league football pizza party in ‘72...still can’t get the blood out...
mannc Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Kinda hard to leave OJ off. He’s the only Buffalo Bill who was unquestionably the best player in football, which he was for at least two or three seasons. 2

I'm good with OJ being up there in this context. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson enslaved countless human beings, and they both undoubtedly had many of those human beings worked to death. Nonetheless, they made the real Mount Rushmore, which focuses narrowly on their accomplishments as presidents. I think OJ's accomplishments as a Buffalo Bill secure his place on the Bill's Mount Rushmore. Unless, of course we wanted to do an upgrade on our Mount . . . . 2

Bruce and Kelly are locks but the other two should go to Ralph and either OJ or Jack Kemp IMO. My Jets Mt Rushmore: Joe Namath Joe Klecko Curtis Martin Darrelle Revis It encompasses the championship 69 team with a very good early 80’s team, late 90’s team, and late 00’s team. Who requested this? Did someone PM you?

You have a HOF receiver in Don Maynard. Martin comes off. Edited May 9, 2020 by Bob in STL

Mango Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 5 hours ago, Happy said: Klecko over Mark Gastineau? Both were good, the other possibility is Gastineau over Curtis Martin. They wouldn't have beat the Redskins or '93 Cowboys, both were complete teams. But you make a good point about having Marino, who was a better QB than Kelly, just not as tough. Marino seemed to make better QB decisions and was a better passer. Not a popular opinion/observation, but a valid one, IMO. Are there actual people that think Kelly was better than Marino? He is easily the greatest QB without a ring and retired like 20 years ago. 1

This is most likely due to not letting their hatred of the Dolphins go, rather than doing a rational analysis of the two QBs.
Ethan in Cleveland Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Ralph Wilson - no team without him Bruce Smith - best DE in history, top 10 all time talent OJ Simpson - top 5 RB of all time Thurman Thomas - he was the true force behind the K gun. Thurman is a top 10 RB in league history. Kelly is not in the top 20 QBs of all time.

Kelly was 101-59 in regular season in 11 years from 1986-1996. And he went 9-8 in the playoffs as Bills Starter. My bad, that was the 1990-1993 super bowl run; I’ve edited for total, your compilation makes more sense to present 1
