tennesseeboy Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Pete Metzlaars, Ernie Warlick, Seymour, Costa, Remiersma? I'll go with Ernie Warlick, who was on a line that led Sports Illustrated to conclude that Jack Kemp was the most protected quarterback in the history of football, and in the championship game against San Diego based on a beat up offensive line, Warlick starred as a receiver in a two tight end offense.
CoachChuckDickerson Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 friggin Lonnie is number 1 in my book. 602689[/snapback] Lonnie gettin smoked by the punt returner....

The guy was a great blocker and he lead the team in receptions one year. He wan't really flashy, but if it was 3rd and 7, he'd run 8 yards, curl, catch the ball and fall to the ground. First down. Can't ask for much more than that, right?

plenzmd1 Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Mark Bramer? Rod Trafford? 602725[/snapback] Bramer had some awesome TE screens back in da day. Paul Seymor anyone? I mean he did get us Frank Lewis, gotta be worth something no?

Paul Costa was a pretty good tight end as well in the late sixties. The problem with evaluation of TE's is to factor in their effectiveness as blockers.

Remember, for some reason the trade was not dependant on a physical of both players, and Seymour never played a down for the Stealers. One of the all time great trades in Bills history
tennesseeboy Posted February 14, 2006 Author Posted February 14, 2006 Keith McKellar was solid in 89, 90, and 91. Then he started to suck. 602762[/snapback] Forgot about McKellar. Thought he was pretty darn good.
CoachChuckDickerson Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Butch Rolle??? 602697[/snapback] 15 career receptions as a Bill, 10 TDs. That dude was money on the goal line.
34-78-83 Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 I always thought Reuben Gant was decent. Boy we have been lacking overall in the TE dept. over the years...
The Jokeman Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 What no love for Tony Hunter? Seriously, I'd vote for Metzelaars as think he was the most complete TE we've ever had.

The problem with evaluation of TE's is to factor in their effectiveness as blockers. 602759[/snapback] Campbell reminds me of Costa. Pretty good blocker, and a better receiving TE than he gets a chance to show. I liked Seymor and McKellers, but Metz might've been the best all-round TE we've had. I gotta take a pass on Warlick - I was too young to have an opinion on him.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Keith McKellar was solid in 89, 90, and 91. Then he started to suck. McKellar was on his way to being a great one, and then injuries took their toll. The K-gun wasn't the same without him.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Paul Seymour was basically a 3rd tackle - one reason the Electric Company was so dominant and OJ got the 2003.
