LeGOATski Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 2 hours ago, ChronicAndKnuckles said: Watching old Bills games from the 90s (too young to experience those years) Lofton was a beast. I never realized he was number 1 all time in reception yards at one point. Shoutout to Beebe to who made some tough deep catches down the side line and I think could take advantage of Allen’s arm strength. When I was a kid in the 90s just starting to get into football, I loved Lofton. I knew who he was before I knew who Andre Reed was because I collected cards and was more focused on the stats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wppete Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Terrell Owens in his prime with Josh Allen would be a scary combo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 1 hour ago, LABILLBACKER said: There's really only 2 choices. I'd pick Moulds over Reed simply because of Eric's size and style would mesh perfectly with 17. In the prime of their careers Owens was better than both and it wasn't particularly close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kornfed Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) Neck n neck.. Eric Moulds, Andre Reed, Jerry Butler and Lee Evans in no particular order. All were amazing but Moulds combined power, speed and finesse at a slightly higher level than the others. ... They were all a gas to watch!!

In his rookie year (1979) he had a 250 yd game against the Jets. I was luckily there. (cool) .. Unfortunately, he destroyed his knee catching a TD against the Phins in 83 and was never the same. ....

SinceThe70s Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 One thing missing from this thread is that Bama backer talking up Robert Foster. if only Josh realized what he already had on the roster. My choice would be Moulds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I would go Moulds but something intriguing about Lee Evans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl2526 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I'll cast a vote for Jerry Butler. His career was cut short by injury, but he had the potential to be an all-time great for Buffalo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like others have said, TO was a 1 year rental. I don't even consider him an ex-Bill. He doesn't have enough at bats to qualify in my book.

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 What, y’all just sitting on Kelvin Benjamin? 🧐 (I kid…even in his “prime” he wouldn’t have deserved Josh imho. Also, yes, use of the word “sitting” was intentional😜). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have enough at bats to qualify in my book. I was just going with the parameters of the question. He played a season for the Bills so he is an ex-Bill's WR. If I had to choose an ex WR who played for the Bills in his prime then it would be a more interesting debate between Reed and Moulds. I'd go with Moulds because we already have two WR's with good RAC ability (Samuel, Shakir) and he'd be the perfect outside WR who can stretch the field. Opens up the middle for Kincaid, Knox, Shakir, Samuel, etc... I'm pry a homer with this take but Coleman has a similar body type and skill set to Moulds. If he could come anywhere close to developing into the player Moulds was it would be a homerun pick. Edited June 24 by Doc Brown 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only issue is that Moulds and Coleman aren't the WR types Allen has thrived with so far in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
