Sweats Posted February 17 Posted February 17 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. 1 1 1 Quote

Mr. WEO Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Rodney Peete was really bad....he can't be on this list lol 1 Quote
Sweats Posted February 17 Author Posted February 17 Ok, maybe not Peete, however, Mitchell threw for an average of 3,000 yards/season........he might be a better comparable than Peete. 1 Quote
chongli Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Also, replace Wayne with Harrison and for Detroit have Goff/St. Brown/Gibbs. 1 1 Quote

Rubes Posted February 17 Posted February 17 If only you had just left the Lions off of your list... 2 Quote
BuffaloBillyG Posted February 17 Posted February 17 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. 6 1 Quote

It's a formula that works. 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 Quote

MikePJ76 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 (edited) 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. Edited February 17 by MikePJ76 Quote
Wizard Posted February 17 Posted February 17 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. 😀 1 1 Quote

wppete Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Detroit has a pretty good trio. Goff - Gibbs - St Brown 1 Quote
