OJ: Best RB in Bills History

[juice]

If OJ was one of the top 3 RB's in League History, Does that make him the best in Bills History?

Well, I think its obvious the greatest backs in Bills history, narrow down to only 2 choices:

Thurman and O.J. And if i had my pick, i would pick rank O.J a little

further than Thurman, but not much.

Thurm was a hell of a reciever, but was Cribbs in his league as a pure runner?

Hell No... Why didn't anyone tell me it was on NBC at 9:00 pm est.

A Forum is needed for posting Bills related show dates.

Did they mention that he was an all time NFL great?

Oh yeah... and a Buffalo Bill.. dont want to get sent to the dreaded SPAM ZONE

I think OJ was the best, Thurman second.
Cribbs and Cookie not near their class.

Thurman was elusive in the backfield and was a great pass catcher. OJ just murdered the front seven. Nod goes to TT.

some may argue Top 5 but there's no way he was one of the 3 best.

OJ was a pure runner he really made nice cuts even after he retired just ask Ron Goldman.

Good point. He was a slasher who just murdered anyone that got in his way. He was elusive also. He ran like he was in a Ford Bronco whenever anyone was chasing him. He was so powerful he could kill two people at once if he was pissed off enough. Definitely worthy of the HOF.

Of course he is ........ he set the standard for Running backs running for 2003 yard in a 14 game season which we never be done again ..............remember in 14 games

[madness]

My personal all-time league favorites:

1. Payton
2. OJ
3. Barry
4. Thurman
5. Henry
6. Willis ???

He had the best season in League history and raised the standard of elite RB... Before OJ and the ELEC. CO. a 2000 yard season was unheard of.

It took 20 years for anyone to come close to his mark... I think that makes him Top 3.

Besides Jim Brown in a different Era who was nearly as dominant as a pure runner?
