THE GASH STATION Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I know this is pretty general..but who is the first player that comes to mind ? I'd say Fred Jackson.
Cereal Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I know this is pretty general..but who is the first player that comes to mind ? I'd say Fred Jackson. Brian Moorman is always the first that comes to mind. My brother always jokes, "Yeah, Moorman can do it all! He can run, he can throw, and he can kick." Hmm maybe Lynch though.
Tcali Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I know this is pretty general..but who is the first player that comes to mind ? I'd say Fred Jackson. Greer
DrFishfinder Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I know this is pretty general..but who is the first player that comes to mind ? I'd say Fred Jackson. Josh Reed is in the top 3.
THE GASH STATION Posted January 6, 2009 Author Posted January 6, 2009 Jason Peters, and it isn't close imo. HAHA...Bill, you are consistent. Peters..athletically hmmm..maybe..but as a total package he is far from the top. IMHO. Side note, I think they should sign Peters to a new deal now and get it over with..no need for another long offseason of weirdness and distraction.
Omar Little Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Jason Peters. In a couple of years, assuming he continues developing as a cornerback (I saw great strides as the season went on), Leodis McKelvin.
kota Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Lynch is the best player imo. If everyone gave the effort he did on Sundays we would be in the superbowl.
marauderswr80 Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 JP Losman.....hey just tryin to spice the boards up a bit....
Magox Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Too many people on Jason Peters Bashing bandwagon. He's our best football player, and I would be willing to bet that the majority of the opposing football players in the NFL feel the same way. Mcgee, Schobel when he's healthy, Marshawn Lee Evans, Poz, Mitchell, Trent Edwards and Stroud are up there.
Got_Wood Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 No, it isn't Jason Peters. Lynch, Evans, Stroud, and Schobel (when healthy). Hands down, these are our leaders.
JasoninMT Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Hmmm.... That's a really tough question. I can tell you who it isn't... Maybe if I listed them all out to see who it wasn't that would make it easier... I really like Fred Jackson, but I think some of why he was so good at the end of the season was his fresh legs. In the PS and his early season reps, he wasn't pushing Lynch out of the lineup. I really like Marshawn a lot. I don't know much about his injury, but that had to be a factor in his late season letdown. I like the promise of Lee Evans - he doesn't have a supporting cast though (QB can't throw the bomb consistently and he doesn't have a solid TE/#2 to draw away attention). Jason Peters seems to be a head case. I'm not saying he's a bad Tackle... just that a player who hurts his team by not showing up for selfish reasons isn't it's greatest player. On Defense... I don't really think we have a "great" player... We have some good young talent who is only going to get better... but no one strikes fear into the heart of opposing offenses. On Special Teams... This is still our best unit imho. Moorman seems to have regressed, when is the last time we heard a striving for a 40 yard net without a chuckle... Lindell is a decent kicker. Yeah he's missed a few kicks, but he really is pretty solid. The return game is the source of our greatest player imho. Leodis McKelvin is a force. When he gets more opportunities, I think he'll prove really special. He's improving on Defense... but he's not the "greatest" CB. So, I'm going with Leodis McKelvin.
marauderswr80 Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I think you have to go by position......Cause if you say whos the best player on the team and by saying Jason Peters, that says he's better then Lee Evans is at catching footballs.......I mean, you have to go by position..... QB - PUSH RB - PUSH WR- Evans OL - Peters DL - Stroud LB's - PUSH CB's - McGee Special Teams is easy - Moorman
Tonawanda Troy Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Lee Evans, and he needs someone to get him the ball consistantly to become a Buffalo Legend!
Guest dog14787 Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 TE with Leodis McKelvin coming in a close second, the young rookie is the next Deon Sanders in my opinion.
