I follow the same sentiment as others with love him, will miss him, but it had to be done given the circumstances.

That said, who's going to be our "gotta have it" guy now? How many times over the past 6 years have we had that moment and Reek was the guy who made it happen?

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking of the following:

- Very early in his career, I can't remember first year or second, but Smith was QB and we were at Denver I believe. Come back, final seconds to tie (or win I can't remember) and Reek made the plays. This was the first time I actually perked up and though to myself wow, big moment, big play...could he do that more?

- At Dallas end of 1st half - throw it to him short and let him work his way through the crowd (untouched) for a TD.

- 4th down gotta have it moment(s) against the Ravens.

- Super Bowl

- Bills - Both the long one with 1 min left and then the end 13 second play to start that series of events.

I know there are a bunch more I'm not thinking of right now. These are big time, pressure is on, everybody watching, gotta have it moments, and he made them happen on the regular.

I said it at the time and people told me I was wrong, but Hardman had his chance to raise himself to that level and become "one of the guys" in the Bills game last year had he really made a true effort to score and win the game instead of running out of bounds. He said himself after the game in an interview "I probably should have tried to score, but I knew the guys would get it done." That means he doesn't see himself as one of the guys, so do we want to count on him in these gotta have it scenarios?

We've got Kelce, of course, but he'll be keyed in on.

I know JuJu and MVS are good, but I really haven't watched much of them. Are they big moment kinda guys?

Is this what we'll be searching for in the draft? Talent is one thing, but taking on those moments is another.

As much as I'll miss the overall exciting nature of watching Hill play, these are the moments I'll be concerned about until I see somebody else take over that role.
