Rob's House Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 His 3 yr career average is 4.0 yrds a carry how is that dick per carry. Fair enough, he doesn't suck, but he isn't great by any means. That's about the league average, and Fred Jackson has averaged 4.5 over that same span, and w/o the baggage. Plus Lynch is one wrong move away from a long suspension. I just don't think we're giving up that much, especially if we can get something in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson from Gamehendge Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 the Bills are supposedly "in play" for Chester Taylor, RB, Minnesota Vikings. If so, I'd deem this a real good move from the front office. He is starting potential the minute he signs with the Bills, IMO. I said this in my Off-Season plan a couple months ago...and people RIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPED me apart... I think he is a quality backup...I would not want him as my starter. However, he is in play for the Bears, visiting them tomorrow. They need help and he fits in there...gets to face the Vikings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 i dont see how this would help us. fast freddy and c taylor are simlar players. we need a change of pace back if we get rid of lynch another overused cliche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playman Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 xactly. having 2 similar guys allow you to run your offense no matter whos in there. about the only time a " change of pace back " is really needed is when youre in goalline mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasty Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Our backfield is fine. Haven't you guys ever heard "if its not broke don't fix it" trading away Lynch would be stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I like Lynch as a player...I really think he is going to be a great player in the NFL - whether it is with the Bills or some other team. I love the way he runs with 3 and 4 tacklers hanging all over him. Lynch is a tough kid and he runs as hard as anyone I've ever seen. However, the reason he always has 3 or 4 tacklers hanging off him is he seems to lack the vision required to be an NFL running back. That's what truly separates Jackson from him.

BYGD1 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Chester Taylor has alot left IMO. If we lose a RB to trade, he'd be a solid replacement. Bills will not spend what Taylor will want, there are cheaper backs and the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike In Illinois Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Ah Chicago. The NFC version of us. ....with recent playoff appearances (including the Super Bowl) over the past 10 years as a slight difference. BTW, how'd that Darwin Walker deal work out for Chi-Town?

tennesseeboy Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 chester taylor is a great player, but I'm not seeing him as a major target for us. Too many other glaring problems in about five other positions for us to go killing ourselves where we already have one good and one very serviceable back.

Fan in Chicago Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Ah Chicago. The NFC version of us. Close I think. Their personnel seem to be a mess. There are way too many needs (OL, WR, RB, DE) and dont have the first two picks this year. They are not deep in any position to make a meaningful trade. If they sink insane money for a Peppers, they will be woefully short of money to shore up the other aspects of the team. Their pursuit of Peppers and the cost that is likely to bear will really hurt them. One side note is that if they indeed get Peppers, Mike Brown may become expendable (read: trade bait) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I agree. Lynch is a beast. Give him something to run behind. Lynch is a freight train and needs a hole of some sort, Jackson is a jaguar and just needs a crease, both are better then Taylor. Taylor is a 3rd down player, kinda stupid to sign him when the Bills already have a younger version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Gun Special Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 doesnt really make sense to dump lynch and be left with a 29 year old and soon to be 31 year old in the backfield DOnt say things that make sense on this board.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary_JG Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 DOnt say things that make sense on this board.... Thank you! common sense has no place on this board...look at this thread. Seriously?? we're talking about adding a 31 yr old back up RB when we've got two starting caliber RBs on the roster...and some people LIKE this move? and Steve Wyche is the biggest idiot NFLN has (and that's saying something)...he couldn't point out Buffalo on a map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Why, with all of our needs, would be be targeting a RB when we have two capable starters on the roster. Say what you want about Lynch but he has proven he can start and is still young. Jackson may have been our offensive MVP and certainly has something left in the tank. Agreed.
