Buffalo Bills Wall of Fame

[KnightRider]

I voted for Jerry Butler. He was a great player for the Bills. He was a productive player for the Bills. He made some of the best plays and was involved in some great games. And then he became a great spokesperson and face of the team in the community. And since this honor is designated for players, coaches and administrators, it is time that great players who are great guys and great ambassadors for the game and city and team get their due.

What he said. He had some of the best catches I've ever seen. Everyone in the stadium would know he was geeting the pass before it was even called and he would still make it... His contribution off the field though seals it for me.

Amen.

 

And if only he'd managed to stay healthy....

*sigh*

One could argue if Butler did stay healthy we would never have gotten Tasker. As placing Butler on IR we were able to pick up Tasker off waivers and further down the line added Lofton. As Lofton was picked up after we dropped Burkett but had Butler stayed healthy Burkett would have only been a 3rd WR on the depth chart and potentially never held out etc. Not to mention Butler's injury allowed Andre Reed to step into the #1 WR role.

 

In terms of my vote on the Wall, I went with Tasker as while not deserving of the HOF, Steve deserves to be among the greats in Bills history although I agree Butch Byrd and Bruce Smith are more deserving.
