  1. Rex encouraging Aaron Williams to wear the #22 in practice today showed he has class. He was also clearly gritting his teeth to take the company line on letting Fred go, but anyone with the slightest common sense could read between the lines. He did what he had to do on a comparatively smaller issue, and took a stand where he needed to starting Tyrod over Whaley's pet.

     

    The sting of Fred not being here is going to way on all fans, but we'll move on just like Fred himself will. Still, a piece of our heart will always have a spot for Fred, and if our season becomes a special one there will be a tiny residue of bitterness that it didn't include our Freddy.

     

    Anyway, it is what it is.

  2. Actually, I did offer a reply. Whaley didn't make this decision on his own. You called out Whaley and I rebutted it. Apparently reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.

     

    Way to ignore the substance of what I said again, darling. You crusade to stop me from commenting and then fall back on a baseless comment entirely unrelated to my comment.

     

    Consider yourself blocked. Any further obsessions you have with me will go on deaf ears.

  3. Ohhhhhhh I'm scared. Please don't report me! Oh no. Face it. The fact is you absolutely cannot stand ANYONE who differs in their opinion of what happened. Go ahead and report me. I haven't violated any of the TOS.

     

    Actually, honey, we can let the mods decide. You are obsessed in a creepy way with me because you can't stand my criticism. You offer nothing, zero, zilch, in any thread I've seen, except personal attacks against me to stop criticizing Whaley. You are by definition a troll. You offer nothing. Zero. Not a single opinion or comment of substance beyond crusading to stop me from criticizing Whaley.

     

    Keep it up. Please keep it up.

  4. What is this nonsense about him going there to be a glorified babysitter? You people do realize Seattle won a super bowl (and probably should have won another) without a "babysitter" for Lynch. If it happens, this is a smart move by a smart organization for the sole purpose of winning football games. Fred is a gamer and a team that's gone the distance two years in a row recognizes that. The one that hasn't sniffed the playoffs since the turn of the century sees differently.

     

    Truth. I think this comes from having a young and insecure GM. Hopefully, he'll mature over time.

  5. as Cris Carter said on mike and Mike this morning, if Fred can get Marshawn to wear the right shoes and not make inappropriate gestures and 15 yard penalties when he scores TDs, he is worth his weight in gold. Marshawn was actually pissed when they moved on from

    Percy Harvin, they were friends. They want him happy and controlled. Fred is perfect, and can still play.

     

    Exactly. A high character guy who can still play is invaluable for a top team. A guy who can keep the stars aligned and a locker room together. They dump Harvin for poor character, we pick him up, then send them Freddy Jackson gift wrapped and ready for a championship run.

  6.  

    No...because neither of them are the "calming influence" they're looking to provide for Lynch.

     

    "As the source explained it to PFT, the primary factor in the mutual interest between the Seahawks and Jackson is the pre-existing relationship between Jackson and starting tailback Marshawn Lynch, based on their time together with the Bills.

     

    Having Jackson in the locker room will provide the private, reclusive Lynch with another confidant, along with the comfort of knowing Jackson has Lynch’s back."

    In other words, they want a high character guy who can still ball to provide leadership on and off the field. Certainly nothing we could use.

  7.  

    You lie like a rug, Son. It doesn't make you question the motives. You have already made up your mind what the motives are, and are just happy to run into any ideas that bolster your notions.

    The fact that other people might look at what Seattle's RB roster depth is before questioning, is just one more symptom of this.

     

    I'm lying? So, an opinion that isn't goose stepping with the regime is considered lying? Wake up, boy. We have an injured 5th rd draft pick and two bums backing up McCoy. Ask yourself this: If BOOBY or BRYCE were waived you think Pete Carroll is flying them out to Seattle on the next flight out to sign? Not a chance in hell.

  8.  

    The motives? 34 yr old - oldest RB in league - hurt much of the time - 4th on depth chart.....expensive......am missing any motives?

     

    I don't know...he only led the team in rushing and receptions last season, is one of the best blocking backs in the NFL, highest character, top leadership skills, and was the team captain. Oh, and none of the other backup RBs on our roster have done jack sh*t in this league.

     

    You think Seattle signed him because he's a washed up old hag? Wake up.

  9. There really is no debate. Everyone knows it was a horrible decision to cut him. Everyone knows it wasn't a football decision. Everyone os pissed off. And everyone is resigned to these facts and prepared to move on as fans accordingly.

     

    Those trying to hijack the majority with snark are message board trolls, or plants with agendas. We all know it. Not much left to say. On to the football with a carryover of bitterness for the injustice done to Fred.

     

    That's it. Done.

  10. Why is this a thread that isn't closed yet? Can I post a thread about how the illumati are behind the decision to start tyrod and keep the bills out of the playoffs for 15 years?

    Yeah, how dare the mods permit a theead with opinions differing from yours.

  11. So you're saying that Freddie is faster and more explosive than Brown? Those are two facets of the game where Brown is clearly the better player. Freddie also gets hurt a lot and fumbles more than Brown does which also needs to be factored in. I love me some Freddie Jackson and hated this move,, but I completely understand why they did it.

     

    Freddy did not fumble games away, and the body of work for Fred is way beyond Bryce. Way beyond. The ability to run a faster 40 doesn't mean crap. Fred is a better running back. Fred breaks tackles, fred makes big plays, Fred has vision, great hands, great blocking, high football IQ, clutch play, a powerful leader, plays hurt, and has done it all over time. He has proven himself to be all the things you want in a back. Bryce Brown? WTF has he ever done but suck. He couldn't even make the active roster last year until we were decimated with injuries...because he sucked.

     

    CJ Spiller was faster and more explosive than Bryce Brown, and Freddy beat him out. You simply don't understand football.

  12.  

    I cant believe I keep responding to your lunacy, but its a boring Monday.

     

    You do realize Freddy has been injured more, and has fumbled more, than Brown, right?

     

    You do realize that Freddy is 100x better than Brown in every facet of the game, and his career proves it in spades, right? You have watched football at some point in your life, right?

     

    The real question is why I bother responding to you, junior. I don't intend to moving forward.

  13. It's nearly impossible to believe that Whaley trading for Brown had nothing to do with healthy Freddy being cut and injured, fumbling, soft, lost Brown being kept. Considering Rex has done nothing but bash Brown and say positive things about Freddy, it doesn't require a tinfoil hat to do the math here.

  14. They would have scored easily on that play.Bryce could run backwards as fast as Fred. But Fred did have heart.

     

    The next time Bryce Brown is able to see the field and find a hole will be the first time. He's a bum. A stiff, and does not belong in the NFL.

  15. Correct. Fred is not too slow. How many running backs in the league would have outrun a secondary that had an angle? He almost did, barely getting tripped as he was diving for the goal line. I don't accept the argument that Fred was done, and Fred is still better on his worst day than Bryce Brown on his best.

     

    I repeat: The decision to release Fred may have been a lot of things, but one thing it absolutely was not is a football decision.
