  1. 1. Who is the best Bills cornerback of all time?



Recommended Posts

I remember the year to year shock of losing Winfield. He stepped it up even further immediately in Minnesota and it was very obvious very early how much of an impact player he was and it just felt like we screwed up again. And then he made 3 pro bowls in his 30s.

It hurt losing him and Pat Williams to the Vikings in that era

Best Ball Skills? Clements

Best Tackler? Winfield (And best overall CB IMO)

Most recognized/ordained by NFL talking heads? Gilmore  (And White was cementing too as a "shutdown corner")

Which would you most want to return a kick off for you?  McGee (also excellent man-on-man)

 

 

(One of the best kick returns of all time, and it added up to nothing as time expired in the half lol)

 

- I didn't see Byrd or Edgerson play..

Yep. And it really isn’t all that close. 

Nope, that would be Robert James. 1st team All Pro in both 1973 and 1974 seasons. 

I still go with Butch Byrd, however I loved watching Robert James. One thing no one has mentioned yet is that James made his mark and earned his role initially as a great special teams gunner.

Derrick Burroughs had a rough first couple of years, but he was coming on as the guy, but he got a career ending neck injury in Houston week 3 of the 1989 season.

 

He was a big, fast, physical corner that the SB teams SURELY could have used.

 

His career ended at age 27.

I knew we were forgetting someone... yes Thomas Smith was an excellent cornerback.

 

Former 1st rounder and started nearly 100 games for us.

 

Not a great ball athlete though.

 

I loved Thomas Smith.  Hell of a coverage corner. We could use a Thomas Smith about now.

I can't tell if this is supposed to be sarcasm.  Jabari Greer was super underrated.  I was a big fan of his when he was here.  Was happy for him when he got to win a Super Bowl in New Orleans 

 

I was so pissed about them keeping that kid glued to the bench faaaaar longer than they should have that I almost had to ban myself for crusading.
