The football trifecta and where do the Bills stand?

[Sweats]

The football trifecta.....

 

My buddies and i were throwing this conversation around on the weekend, that just about every competitive team has had the football trifecta (three really good O players and maybe not great, but good in their own right and some of them just good enough to be competitive, but a trifecta nonetheless).

 

Bills - Kelly, Reed, Thomas

49's - Montana, Rice, Waters

Dallas - Aikman, Irving, Smith

Colts - Manning, Wayne, Faulk

Rams - Warner, Holt, Faulk

KC - Montana, Allen, Davis

Lions - Peete, Sanders, Moore

Pats - Brady, Ridley, Welker

etc.

etc.

etc.

etc.

 

So, who on our current Bills roster is our O trifecta?...........obviously Allen, Cook and ?????? 

I am of the belief that if you can at least have a quality QB (check), a quality RB (check) and a quality WR (nothing), you have the most advantage to spread the field, become less predictable and create mismatches where at least one of your quality trifectas can consistently make plays. 

It's a formula that works.

Rodney Peete?? Really?

Rodney Peete was really bad....he can't be on this list lol

[Gregg]

Allen, Cook, Shakir would be my guess.

[Sweats]

Ok, maybe not Peete, however, Mitchell threw for an average of 3,000 yards/season........he might be a better comparable than Peete.

[chongli]

Also, replace Wayne with Harrison and for Detroit have Goff/St. Brown/Gibbs.

might as well toss Bob Gagliano in there...

[Rubes]

If only you had just left the Lions off of your list...

 

[BuffaloBillyG]

Waters only played with Montana for 2 seasons. I think Roger Craig would have been the better RB to stick there. 

 

Also, I believe Faulk only played one season with Manning. Edgerrin James was the play next to Manning.

In what world would i ever leave Sanders and Moore off a list?.........ok, Peete was hot garbage, but Mitchell was adequate.

This thought exercise goes a long way towards showing that Allen has not enjoyed the kind of superior trifecta that other elite QB's have enjoyed at different points in their careers.

 

As an aside you could argue that for the Chiefs the trifecta of Mahomes, Kelsy & Hill or going back further Dawson, Garret & Taylor were better then Montana, Allen & Davis

In the world where you're trying to make an argument about a "trifecta"...😛

You have friends???

[MikePJ76]

Since you have Michael Irving on your list I think you should add Jason Whitten.

 

No what I am saying....

 

We all need a laugh right.

I honestly enjoyed the comments after the OP. It's kinda like when reading a news article and you are really only curious about the responses in the "comments" section. 😀

Correct.  Hard to find a better set of triplets than Manning, Harrison & Faulk

Yeah I think the Pats are a counter example.....they had various good players but no "big three".  in fact Wes Welker never won a SB.

[wppete]

Detroit has a pretty good trio.

Goff - Gibbs - St Brown
