At some point he may become that but too early to crown him at this point. I love what he's shown thus far. The game has changed since the 90's as it's now a passing league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Cornelius Bennett and Thomas? Hall of Famers must be superstars one thinks. I think he means “Superstars that we hang on every aspect of their lives” … to my knowledge, nobody cared about Joe Delamilleure’s wardrobe choices, HOF or not 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren’t even the best at their positions at the time. Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith were both better than Thomas. And that’s not even considering Eric Dickerson, Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen. Kelly wasn’t as good as Marino, Elway, Moon, Young, Cunningham, Montana. Kelly was 11-7 against Marino in the regular season and 3-0 against him in the playoffs! And I think he was definitely better than Moon and Cunningham. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 How far we have come. For the record, Bledsoe had 4200ish in 2002. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have a really good year this year. Also, not to be negative, but to some extent this shows how good Allen is, but the lack of a team effort around him. He was the offense. Hopefully some more balance upcoming and a SB win! He needs the defense to show up and contribute on their side in the playoffs, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly was undefeated in the playoffs against every cat (minus Cunningham, they only met in reg season which Kelly also won—the ‘90 meeting was K-Gun gold) you’ve listed as better than him…and before I get the usual “Kelly’s teammates were so much better” washed retort, I’m sorry, but we’ve all seen how little a good roster with a bad to passable QB can get you (see any of the drought years)…Kelly was usually darn great against those guys. And you’ve said already that Thomas overrated too, so…🤷🏼♂️ 6 hours ago, Taro Nimbus said: This will be a hot take to most, but Allen is already the greatest QB in Bills history.

There’s no changing your mind in the subject. But you are wrong. Kelly was good, maybe even great. But Allen is a superstar. Not just one of the best at his position for his time. Possibly the best at his position and possibly the best player in the league. Allen 100% better than Kelly. and you commented about the talent in those teams then talk about the talent on the team during the drought years? The talent in the team during the drought years is about the same as the talent was at QB at those times. Pretty much non existent. The Bills had about 5 decent players in their 17 year drought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCofNC Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 All good, but Lamar has an MVP and is going to throw for 6000 yards this year because he finally has weapons, so he’s clearly better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce is the greatest defensive player in Bills history He is also one of the greatest in league history. Same goes for OJ for the Bills offense as well as the league. Kelly, Thomas, Reed, Lofton are all great players, but they are not considered some of the greatest at their positions. Bruce and OJ are. The NFL Hall Of FAME is on the phone. They’d like a word with you.. 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't comment on Kelly - he was before my time watching and I have only seen highlights and the Raiders AFCCG in full. But Josh isn't yet the best at his position in his era either. Mahomes remains the best Quarterback in football. Josh is close and at his best I think he is better, but he still has too many fluctuations in comparison to Mahomes. I take the arguments about coaching and supporting talent, but I can't put Josh #1 until he matches Pat's consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) They should come up with a commercial for Josh like the Bad Things commercial made for Bruce years ago . It would ave been cool to have Hopper himself do say a Good Things commercial for Josh but he has passed that commercial is such a classic !! Like Bruce Josh will go down as 1 of the all time greats & i believe surpass Kelly as the Bills best ever QB ! And go down with Kemp as the Bills QB that brings a championship to Buffalo once again .
