ganesh Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 You are correct about those advantages and disadvantages, but all you need to do is look at game footage to see that Reed was still a better WR. Not 10x the WR Moulds was, but better nonetheless. 693193[/snapback] Again, you are only as good as your surrounding cast....The benefit of doubt has to be given to Moulds. Reed had tons of yards after the catch, but that is also due to the effective blocking our downfield WRs provided and the explosive TE we had in Metz.
Sen. John Blutarsky Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 Anybody remember the name of the first QB in the video. #5 who threw the ball to Andre in #46? Think of it, it'll come to you. Though I have to say it cracks me up that we all see Andre through rose colored glasses now. I remember a very large love/hate relationship with Andre and I'm quite sure if this board were in existance in 1995 that'd we'd have killed him for refusing to sign a lucrative extension and generally acting like a primadona. Coincidentally, he tore his hamstring that year, had to re-sign with us for less money and then played 4 more seasons with us. Had he stayed healthy that year and walked away for a big money deal I wonder if we'd be seeing him on the Wall of Fame or if he'd be in the pile along with Cornelius Bennett.

I really am not factoring in the blocking downfield or the surrounding cast, or any of their numbers, just their individual play. I do respect that there was a difference there. I am also a huge fan of EM, and feel that he was certainly among the best Bills WR's ever.

Kelly the Dog Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 Yeah, but Andre wasn't very fast. Couldn't run a 4.4 .40 It's just that nobody ever caught him.
