Skoobydum Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Spiller was the most explosive offensive threat drafted in 2010. In need of a playmaker at wide receiver, the Bills surprised many when they selected the multi-dimensional Spiller with the ninth overall pick. The Bills have a crowded RB depth chart that features Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch, and it could be challenging for Spiller to achieve 10 touchdowns on the ground this season. However, coach Chan Gailey stated that Spiller could split out wide as a receiver in certain packages, which would create matchup problems for the opposition and open another avenue to get him involved in the offense; the result is more opportunities to reach paydirt. Said Bills GM Buddy Nix, on Spiller's ability to get in the end zone: "He's a playmaker. He's a guy that creates field position and scores points. He's exciting. We need some excitement, somebody that can make a big play and create some things on their own." http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/story/1...-impact-in-2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Seems quite high, especiially if that is not total TD's (includes KR/PR) Desean Jackson was amazing last year and he ended up with 9 offensive TD's. I would obviously be thrilled with CJ getting to the house 10 times, but I would not count on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I say 8-10 times is realistic. Let's say he gets 15 opportunities per game, that comes out to 240 in a season. Getting a TD one out of every 24 times you touch the ball is definitely realistic IMO, especially for a player of his caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy10 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Maybe let's get him signed first, before anyone anoints him the next Eric Dickerson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoobydum Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Maybe let's get him signed first, before anyone anoints him the next Eric Dickerson. I think it's nice to see the press say we might actually score this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hossage Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Maybe let's get him signed first, before anyone anoints him the next Eric Dickerson. If Eric Dickerson was three feet shorter and twice as good, he would be C.J. Spiller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I think it's nice to see the press say we might actually score this season. I agree 100%. I would rather he sign on the dotted line first before I get my hopes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Said Bills GM Buddy Nix, on Spiller's ability to get in the end zone: "He's a playmaker.

Sounds like Buddy knows his offensive line pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I hope CJ does we need some excitement on offense. The one other explosive player we have in Evans is consitantly undermined by lack of QB and #2 WR talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingon Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Something further on in the article: ... Be the 2010 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year: C.J. Spiller, RB, Buffalo Bills Since 1969, the Offensive Rookie of the Year award has been handed to a running back 39 times. But, over the past seven years, a running back has won the award twice; Falcons QB Matt Ryan (2008) and Vikings WR Percy Harvin (2009) were the most recent honorees. If you believe in trends, note that the running back position has never been shut out from the award in three consecutive years. The last running back to win the award was Vikings RB Adrian Peterson in 2007. There are scouts who believe Spiller will have the kind of impact Peterson had during his rookie season when he rushed for 1,341 yards and 12 touchdowns. That is very encoruaging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
