He is self-admitted or I wouldn’t have ventured there. I mean, I’ve never had anybody crap on my desk, but I don’t have a lot of friends either. Maybe there is a middle ground?  🤷‍♂️

I thought your comment was humorous, it made me chuckle to myself, 👍

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

Confused him with Andre Ware. Simple mistake.

Look at the basic formula.........if you have a competent QB, RB, WR (the O trifecta), then you have the basics of being competitive.

Ware would be Nate Peterman to Peete's Tom Brady

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.

 

And Ridley only won one, in his final year there by which time he was basically a backup. He was never better than average in any case. 

 

I can't comment on New England's first dynasty - the 2001, 2003, 2004 team, but their second dynasty - the 2014, 2016, 2018 team - their three most important offensive skill players were Brady, Edelman and Gronk.

Agreed.   Gronk was special....Edelman was a great player with lots of clutch plays...I would argue Shakir is similar but the Bills have no Gronk.

For Dallas I prefer to think of Staubach, Dorsett, Pearson

[GASabresIUFan]

For the Bills

Kemp, Gilcrest, Dubenion

Kelly, Thomas, Reed 

Allen, Cook, Shakir (so far)

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

Yeah I was going Mitchell Carter Sanders... if we are taking Goff out of the equation
