Alright, listen up, y’all. We’re gonna talk about some football fellas, the best Bills players of all time, you know, the real good ones.
First off, gotta mention that Bruce Smith fella. He was a big, strong dude, like the kind that could plow a whole field by himself. They say he’s easily the tippy-top best player the Bills ever had. And I reckon they’re right. He’d get in there and just wreck them other fellas, quarterbacks runnin’ for their mama’s. He was somethin’ else, that’s for sure. If you didn’t see him play, well, you missed out on somethin’ special. He was tough, mean, and always got the job done. That’s what made him the best, see?
Now, they got all sorts of lists, hundreds of players and all. Some fella, Sal somethin’ or other, he made his own list of the top hundred best players back in 2019. And they keep changin’ it, players comin’ and goin’ like the weather. Just saw somethin’ about them Bills boys lettin’ go of some players… Anthony Brown, that quarterback fella, and some other fellas, Byrd, Simon, and Jones… Damiere Byrd, Shayne Simon and Deion Jones… sounds like a bunch of city slicker names to me. And Kevin Jarvis too, some line fella. Anyways, they weren’t good enough to make this list, I tell you what.
Let’s see, who else was good? Ah, Jim Kelly, that quarterback. Tough as nails, that one. He’d stand in there and throw that ball, even when them big ol’ linemen were tryin’ to knock his head off. He led them Bills to four Super Bowls, you know. Didn’t win none of ‘em, but that ain’t his fault entirely. He was a fighter, that Kelly, and he knew how to win. You need a tough fella like that on your team. He could throw that ball far and accurate, just like throwin’ a rock at a squirrel way up in a tree.
- Jim Kelly: Tough quarterback, took a beatin’ but kept on throwin’.
- Bruce Smith: Meanest, toughest fella on the defense, maybe ever.
- Thurman Thomas: That running back, quick as a hiccup, could make them fellas miss tackles like nothin’.
- Andre Reed: Catchin’ them balls, slick as grease, always open when Kelly needed him.
Then there’s Thurman Thomas, that runnin’ back. He was like a greased pig, nobody could catch him. He’d wiggle and jiggle and zoom right past them defenders. And Andre Reed, he was somethin’ else too. Catchin’ them balls like he had glue on his hands. Kelly to Reed, that was a thing of beauty, like watchin’ a hawk swoop down and snatch a rabbit. Them boys, they was a team, a real team. They played together, fought together, and they almost won it all. Almost don’t count for much, but they were darn good.
Now, some folks might argue about who else should be on this list. There’s been a whole bunch of good players over the years, that’s for sure. But these fellas, they were somethin’ special. They were the heart and soul of the Bills, the ones that everyone remembers. They brought excitement and hope to Buffalo, and that ain’t nothin’ to sneeze at. You can’t just go around pickin’ any fella, they gotta have that somethin’ special, that grit and determination.
Football’s changed a lot since them fellas played. Now they got all these fancy rules and whatnot. But back then, it was tougher, I reckon. You had to be strong, both in body and mind. And them Bills players, they were strong. They were the best of the best, and that’s why we still talk about ‘em today. They represent what it means to be a Buffalo Bill: tough, hard-working, and never giving up.
So, if you ask me, the best Bills players of all time are the ones I mentioned. Bruce Smith, Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, and Andre Reed. They were the real deal, the fellas that made the Bills what they are. And don’t you forget it. They are the legends, the ones that young players should look up to. They played hard, they played fair, and they always gave it their all. That’s what matters most, see? And that’s why they are the best Bills players of all time.
And that’s all I gotta say about that. Now, go on and get yourself a nice cup of coffee and some pie. You deserve it after listening to all this football talk.
