VJ91 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 And the list grows by two today. Marv Levy, Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas & now Bruce Smith and Ralph Wilson....all NFL Hall of Famers. (James Lofton can take a bow, but most of his resume' was already filled out before you played for the Bills). I think we would all be remiss if we fail to acknowlege the amazing talents of Bill Polian & John Butler, who brought all of these coaches and players together during the same era, basically guaranteeing them their Hall of Fame enterence. They were all great on their own, and certainly Ralph Wilson made those old AFL contributions years before Polian and Butler arrived on the scene. But if not for Polian and Butlers' drive and ambition to make the Bills champions leading to four straight Super Bowl appearances, I'm not sure all of those five men would have been elected to represent the Buffalo Bills today!!

bbb Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Polian himself will probably make it, too, now that I think of it.......I'm not sure what the rule is on GM types - two years after they retire?.........Then again, I don't know what other GMs might be in already. If GMs do get elected, he'd have to be a lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
