BuffaloBillyG Posted May 4 Posted May 4 My definition of a "drought era" guy has always been a guy that played the majority nof his career in that period. For example, Kyle Williams to me is "drought era". Sure, he got that 1 playoff game at the tail end...but the bulk of his work was done on bad teams. So he is always my first pick in these discussions. Second pick, I'm open to a lot of different guys there. What the hey, give me Marshawn Lynch. Sure, he went on to bigger and better games. But not with the Bills. With the Bills he was firmly "Drought Era". 2 Quote

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted May 4 Posted May 4 It's sort of case-by-case who I'd consider drought era, Moulds played too much in the playoffs for me to associate him with that label while Kyle I would say yes. TO is a no go for me because it has to be someone who sort of fought through that misery with us for awhile. I'm taking Lee Evans (big get for this roster with his skillset and I'd love to watch him play with Josh Allen) and Jason Peters. 1 Quote
Mango Posted May 4 Posted May 4 2 hours ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: They did but it's not the generally accepted idea of who was a drought player. I think most people think it is a Bills player that never played a playoff game for the Bills. I am more inclined to give a nod to players who were in the playoffs by started the drought as “drought era” than I am to give the nod to players who missed the playoffs but ended the drought. I don’t have a great reason to put into words as to why. But that’s what my gut says. lol Quote

mrags Posted May 5 Posted May 5 12 hours ago, JohnBonhamRocks said: Lee Evans and Mario Williams (Is Moulds really drought era when he was on the team when it made the playoffs?) I also would go with Evans and Williams. Moulds could be there for me but for the argument factoring in he actually went to the playoffs I’ll take him off. But honestly, I’m not sure he would be better than Lee on this team. Mounds imo might be the best WR to ever don a Bills Uniform. But Evans with Josh throwing him the ball would smoke people. At least that’s the hope. Mario is likely the best possibly option for the defensive side of the ball. I could go Clements or Gilmore and lock down the corner spots for sure. But nothing would beat Mario coming in destroying QBs like we all hoped Von would do. 1 Quote
Augie Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Have Molson and Old Vienna been taken yet? Okay, I might have gotten that wrong. Quote
Sandhill Mike Posted May 5 Posted May 5 McKelvin, to return punts. Just kidding... I'll add another vote for Lee Evans. My other add would be London Fletcher. Loved that guy. Quote
That's No Moon Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Jairus Byrd Mario Williams Honorable Mention: Marshawn Lynch Fred Jackson Lee Evans Jason Peters Quote

dgrochester55 Posted May 5 Posted May 5 If filling immediate needs, I would say Stevie Johnson or Lee Evans and Brian Moorman If personal favorites, I would say Kyle Williams and Marshawn Lynch. Quote
