Check the stats and the bio.
Doesn't matter. He is my all-time favorite football player and the greatest Buffalo Bill I ever saw. He should be in the Hall of Fame and anyone who ever saw him play in his prime knows it.

Therm is also the only player to lose his helmet before the start of the biggest game of the year. Keep'em out.
The NFL's Hall of Fame process is ridiculous. There, I said it.
I hated the Bills during their glory days. I hated them with an almost unbridled passion, and no there was probably no Bill I hated more than Turman Thomas. I hated him because he was their best player and you couldn't stop him. He almost singlehandedly made the Bills worth hating. I can't believe he didn't get in. I can't name three better players from his prime years. If they fucked him over because he never won a Superbowl or because of the lost helmet thing, that is ridiculous.
Capowskie: Thanks blondie, you're sweet.
Cialini: Peep the postseason stats above.
Jables: Agreed. Aikman and Moon but no Thurman??? If Thurman ain't a first-ballot neither Aikman and Moon aren't. I think Moon is, though.
Danny-Banny: Always nice to hear the voice of reason.
