Billistic Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Fred Jackson and maybe Bryan Scott is all I can think of that even come anywhere close. Stroud came out from the Jaguars doghouse, but that's not really in the "breakout" category. Did I miss someone?
jax bill backer Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 mckelvin and fine had an alright year..but not a breakout year.. You might be able to put POZ on the list though

FluffHead Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 I gotta give it to you, man. You are a posting machine. skooby and billistic are having a thread starting contest. WATCH OUT!
Buffalonian-at-Heart Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 I would say Walker and Butler had a breakout season for their careers and reputations.
ans4e64 Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 I'd say only Bryan Scott. Breakout is a strong word, but there were others that had very strong years (Fred Jackson, Rosco Parrish and Josh Reed both solidified themselves into roles on the team instead of just being there, Kyle Williams).
Billistic Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 I mean the Texans Andre Johnson had a BREAKOUT year, and the Steelers James Harrison, too ...but I don't think the Bills had anything at all like that.

GOBILLS78 Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Did you really steal the avatar? Well, from Sports Illustrated, yes.
Billistic Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 Who was the last Bill to have Andre Johnson-esque BREAKOUT year?
LGB Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Well McCargo almost had a breakout in 2008 to Indy, but failed the physical...
GOBILLS78 Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Who was the last Bill to have Andre Johnson-esque BREAKOUT year? Peerless Price.
Quester74 Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Who was the last Bill to have Andre Johnson-esque BREAKOUT year? Jason Peters? Peerless Price?
Billistic Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 Peerless Price. Price had a year that got him a big contract, but he didn't become the talk of the League by any means. The Fat Eagle must of sort of broke out to go from UDFA to Pro Bowl, but it wasn't very dramatic, somehow.

The Fat Eagle must of sort of broke out to go from UDFA to Pro Bowl, but it wasn't very dramatic, somehow. As a fourth-year veteran, he caught nearly 40 more balls from 2001-2002. That's a breakout season, no matter how you slice it.

Yeah, he had a big year, but kind of died on the vine. He had a pseudo-breakout year: broke out - then broke down.
Billistic Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 Bryce Paup Bryce made the Pro Bowl in '94 as a Packer, then came to the Bills in '95 and made 1st team All Pro (a much higher honor).
SuperKillerRobots Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Who was the last Bill to have Andre Johnson-esque BREAKOUT year? Peerless Price Edit: Damn, too late on this
Billistic Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 Maybe Nate Clements in 2004: 6 INTs (one returned for TD), a punt return TD, 5 forced fumbles, 59 tackles and 14 passes deflected. Pro- Bowl.
