transplantbillsfan Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Obviously in their prime. I mean the easy answer would seem to be to just go with Reed or Lofton since they're HOFers. Never saw any WRs before those 2 so don't know about guys like Jerry Butler. I would want to consider skillsets and how they fit with what Allen likes in his WRs. I don't really think Moulds would have been the ideal fit. Peerless Price was a flash in the pan but for the very brief stint he was at his peak he might have been that ideal deep threat with size and speed we've been looking for. I would go with Stevie Johnson. His unique ability to separate and get open is similar to what Beasley was in his prime and I think Stevie would have been even better and more versatile in that role with the ability to go inside or outside. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go with Eric Moulds. He put up numbers with Doug Flutie, Rob Johnson, and Drew Bledsoe throwing to him. I think with Allen he would be on fire. 11 25 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Another vote for Eric Moulds. 6'2, 210lbs. He'd have 1,000-1,200 yard seasons every season. 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie is who I thought of before even opening your thread. He did have his share of drops and fumbles that aggravated me to no end at the time but yeah that would be like the most fun combo I can think of to watch rock and roll Edited June 23 by Another Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playoffs? Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 13 minutes ago, transplantbillsfan said: I just don't think Moulds is the type of WR Allen loves throwing to. Love Moulds though. Why? Big, strong, great hands, decent route runner. Could go deep. Moulds was really good. He’d be my pick. But I’d also consider Thurman for his pass catching abilities too. 4 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I honestly believe if Moulds had Allen throwing to him, he'd have been our best WR we've ever had. And yes, I'm including Reed. 3 8 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 James Lofton, a burner with great hands and ironman toughness/durability, would be perfect for Allen and this offense. 7 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transient Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 In his prime... Terrell Owens. Or Moulds... or Lofton... or Reed in no particular order. Honorable mention to Lee Evans. Always curious what he could have done with a NFL caliber QB throwing to him. Stevie was fine, but I'm tired of watching receivers drop passes (before anyone tries to call me out on TO, he made enough wow plays in his prime to more than make up for his oopsies). 3 12 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) Eric Moulds with Josh would destroy planets but how about an honorable mention for Stevie Johnson he literally had 3 1,000 yard seasons with Fitz. With Josh he’s probably pushing 1500ish Edited June 23 by 78thealltimegreat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Since you qualified with "in their prime" I'd have to go with Terrell Owens. As to his character flaws, you can't win the Super Bowl with all choir boys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 It’s funny, I obviously remember Moulds but he played in my media blind spot. He played during that time where I was gone from WNY and we were just starting to have the ability to follow a team from out of market. I wish I had seen more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazinBill Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Lee Evans- I mean he made JP Losma. Look good at times with his game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be honest... totally forgot about TO. I think I'd probably go TO in his prime over Stevie if I'm strictly thinking about skillset. Really hard for me to look past his diva attitude and the relationships he had with his QBs in SF and PHI though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of any receiver we have had like Moulds for josh... But my opinion of Moulds is he was all world and neck and neck with Randy Moss as the best deep threat in both their prime.... that's with flutie throwing to him led the nfl in yards per catch like 20 something yards a catch for the season. My vote is for 1 Eric Moulds (All World)... 2 Lee Evans(elite speed)... 3 Peerless Price(speed)... 4 Bill Brooks(clutch plays)... 5 Andre Reed(yac machine)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
