All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

I was on Sirius this morning and chimmed in on their topic of the most underrated players in NFL history. I, of course, had a few Bills that I mentioned...they were:
Darryl Talley
Frank Reich
Kenneth Davis
Don Beebe
I got to thinking, who else could we add to that list? Post your vote for the most underappreciated Bill of all time.
Tasker, Will Wolford and Talley.
Tasker was actually a very good receiver in addition to be the best ST player ever to play. He did not play much but when he did he really impressed me at WR with some outstanding receptions. Doubt he will ever make HOF despite his domination.
Wolford protected Kelly's blindside and did a great job. The drop off to Fina when Wolford left was noticeable.
Talley- the guy always played with a high motor and was a difference maker. Due to Biscuit and Bruce he never got the accolades he deserved.

I don't think we can add Tasker since he is considered the best special teams player of all time and has been discussed for the HOF. So, I don't think we can add him considering he wasn't underrated. Wolford and Talley for sure...
Talley. Is not even close in my opinion. He was the heart and soul of the defense. Nationaly everybody talked about Bruce and Biscuit. Talley rarely got the recognition he deserved.
Bruce and Biscuit were more talented but Talley was the leader and fire on that defense. He was always in Bruce's ear.
We need another Talley on our defense. Maybe rookie lb Sheppard.
I don't see Talley as underrated, just because I think he's now getting the respect he deserves. He was probably more underrated when he played, than he is now.
Wolford is a good choice. From an earlier era, Joe Devlin was underrated. In the era when Gastineau was setting sack records, he said he voted for Devlin to the PB every year. Gastineau rarely got around him.
From that same era, Ben Williams was underrated. It wasn't just the Bermuda Triangle that made them the best in the league. He was by far their best pass rusher.
Kenneth Davis is definitely a good choice. He could have flourished on a bunch of other teams in the league.
Beebe....I don't get, never did. If anything, I've thought of him as one of the more overrated players. I know, I know, he ran down Leon Lett. OK.
He was also was of the fastest players in the league. He ran like a 4.2 40, yet he hovered around 400-500 yards and had more than 5 TD's once in his career only once.
Put Beebe's speed in Andre Reed and Jerry Rice might have been the 2nd best receiver of all time.
Eugene Marve was a very good player on some very bad teams
Jerry Butler might have been the most talented receiver in team history.
Jim Braxton was a major reason for OJs success.
Braxton not only was a great blocker but on the few occasions he got the ball he ran with the ball very well. I would love to see another player like him on this Bills team.

Talley, I don't think many would argue that point. JMO
From a national standpoint, the most underrated Bill of all time may be Tom Sestak. He was a great DT, but unfortunately his career was cut short by injury, and he was almost strictly an AFL player, too.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
