billsbackto81 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 To me it was Drew Brees and Roger Craig  To me Drew Brees and Steve Young had the best "touch" on their passes more than anyone else.  Craig was a criminally underrated back. His high step running style was unique and fun to watch.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowbowl Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 On 7/12/2024 at 12:05 PM, SaulGoodman said: I’ve always thought Elway’s a little overrated, but it could be because my earliest memories are of his later years. I haven’t seen the early part of his career other than YouTube clips. To me he’s a guy who was always a bit more myth and legend than reality. He was labeled the greatest prospect ever, so they bent over backwards to justify that narrative. I think people got sucked up in it, and then his legend grew as he developed a reputation for late comebacks. What they never mention is that Denver was often forced to come back because Elway played poorly the first three quarters. Or that his era of AFC dominance happened during an era in which the AFC was very weak and a team quarterbacked by Bernie Kosar was Denver’s top competition. Elway’s numbers were never elite either, even compared to peers at the time, and he had a ton of turnovers.  Elway might have been as talented as any QB to ever live, but his production didn’t live up to his talent.  It wasn’t about his production. Lots of QBs have more production but didn’t accomplish much. It was about his leadership and dynamic play. BTW he also won 2 super bowls at the end of career. Something no Bills QB had done once. One of the most exciting players to watch ever and lots of times on not so great teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowbowl Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 The versatile Elway is the only player in National Football League history to pass for more than 3,000 yards and rush for more than 200 yards in the same season seven consecutive times. He was only the second quarterback in NFL history to record more than 40,000 yards passing and 3,000 yards rushing during his career. At the time of his retirement, he ranked second all-time in three of the game’s most significant passing categories, passing yards (51,475), attempts (7,250), and completions (4,123).  That’s not bad production!!!

fergie's ire Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 As a kid in the 70s I had two favorite QB/WR pairs on different teams. I loved Fred Billitnikoff and Ken Stabler on the Oilers (loved the untucked, long hair, stickum anti-establishment vibe) and I liked Dan Pastorini and Billy White Shoes Johnson. Pastorini because he would just get destroyed but would keep playing and Johnson because he was so much fun. Of course, one of the reason I was watching the Raiders was because they also had a favorite former Bill, Bobby Chandler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) As a group, I liked the Vikings' Purple People Eaters. Others include Dick Butkus and Joe Namath. On the Bills, Robert James and Kyle Williams. Also gotta give props to Brady. I know a lot of Bills fans hated on him, but he was the GOAT. Respect. Edited July 23 by GreggTX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
