BeastMode54 Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I know it's a random question, but after watching highlights this year and last, it seems as if Antoine has been the much bigger impact player for his new team. WHo would you say it was when they played for us?
Realist Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Doesn't matter, that's in the past and has nothing to do with the current team. I'd rather forget about those years.
BeastMode54 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Posted September 22, 2008 Doesn't matter, that's in the past and has nothing to do with the current team. I'd rather forget about those years. Fair enough. I was just curious
lets_go_bills Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Nate was more talented, but gambled too often to try and make a INT or big play. Antoine covered well and hit like a train. I'm going with Antoine.
ans4e64 Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Doesn't matter, that's in the past and has nothing to do with the current team. I'd rather forget about those years. Yes. Back to Jason Peters please
Buftex Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I think, alll in all, they were both pretty great players. Antoine didn't make a ton of "big plays", and really struggled with interceptions (or lack thereof), but was a great cover guy, a great hitter, and a solid tackler. He has become more of a ball hawk in Minnesota. Nate was not as solid down for down, and a little less consistant, but was more of a "playmaker"...all in all, I will say it is a wash. Two great players, most teams would be happy to have either of them.

The Dean Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Winfield was, and still is, a better CB, IMO. One might argue that, on those clubs, the team had nobody else that could get turnovers, so Nate may have been more valuable to that club.
John from Riverside Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I am going with Realist on this one.....they both jumped for big money and left the bills behind..... They are dead to me....even if I do understand the financial part of it.

BuffOrange Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I am partial to Winfield because he's not a punk.
John from Riverside Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I don't think the Bills offered either a contract, did they? Can't stay where you aren't wanted. Weren't they basically priced out of our range from the get go? I am quite sure they would have liked them to stay. I understand the money.....but once a player is gone he is gone.
murra Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 I am partial to Winfield because he's not a punk. Same.

I understand the money.....but once a player is gone he is gone. What I'm saying is, they didn't turn their back on the Bills. The Bills never extended them, didn't make them an offer in FA...what are they to do? There are players that leave for a little more $$ than the team offered and you might hold a grudge against them. But, how can you hold a grudge against a guy that wasn't made any offer? Now, maybe I am wrong and offers were tendered, but I don't think they were. I also don't remember any drive to extend them a year or two before their contracts were due to end. AFAIK, the Bills simply let them walk. I'm not blaming the Bills, either. They were moving in a different direction and wanted to spend the $$ differently. Fine, I get that. But, these guys both left on good terms, at least with me.
NorCal Aaron Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 My dream Bills lineup for the early 90s would have included Antoine or Clements to go along with Nate the 1st. Add Ted Washington in lieu of Jeff Wright and pair Henry Jones with Kurt 'I know nothing' Schulz in the backfield, and wanna bet they go 3 of 4 minimum?
Hardy Pyle Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Last night Collinsworth stated something to the effect of...Winfield one of the best player that no one in the NFL has heard of. I've got to agree after watching him all those years in Buffalo. Pound for pound, the toughest too.
