JPS Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Trading Spiller makes no sense because he fills a role on this team and would get you next to nothing in return right now......... I think Spiller is in the perfect spot....if we want to keep Freddie productive like this for the next few years he is gonna need to be spelled......Spiller is getting better and better......but not a threat to take the starting spot from Freddie just yet. Well Put. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCBongo Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Spiller will be Kenny Davis to Freds' Thurmo. Having Spiller will extend the career of Fred by giving him some plays off and sharing the load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 what happens if and when Freddy gets injured?? Tiki Barber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappy Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Jesus man, why! haha My wife liked the Special Version Flirt Jersey here, it only came in the Spiller version. I always buy 4 of the same players after the Briere / Vanek incident a few year ago , I picked Vanek & she took Briere (against my advice). My Jersey is still useful & hers is good for nothing. Now we ride 4 high & Spiller should get better & better, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Just a thought I'd like to throw out there. With the success Freddie is having plus the inevitability of a new contract, added to the fact that Spiller rarely even plays, and, when he does, does not produce as a RB or WR. I think the Bills should try to deal Spiller to a team in dire need of RB help (Denver, Chicago, Cincinnati come to mind) and see what, if anything, we can get in return draft pick wise. Perhaps if Spiller got a chance as a starter elsewhere, maybe he could turn into something. Just a thought. Can the draft choice run the ball this year if Fred gets hurt?

reddogblitz Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 The thought of Johnny White as our starting RB if Fred gets hurt give me hives. NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billshank Redemption Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 idiotic idea we can use spiller in a variety of ways and he hasn't done anything wrong this year freds just been so damn good he hasn't needed to do and when we need him he will be ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailar Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Guys I think there was no-one here thought Fitz should have played before last year. Back up was all I heard. I remember not long ago people were saying to trade Kyle Williams as we were going to a 3-4 defence and he was a 4-3 DT not a 3-4 NT. Freddie Jackson was a nice back up etc etc etc. Last year Spiller wasn't ready, he wasn't patient enough. Spiller played well against Oakland and is not makig serious numbers because he's not getting the carries. Why? Because Freddie is on fire and according to Michael Irvin "the best RB in the World". Freddie is getting the carries. Spiller is the RB here for the next ten years. You are too quick to call someone a bust.

Brand J Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) There's only 1 player I'd trade Spiller for at this moment - Von Miller. It's not gonna happen, so we can move on from this idea. Edited September 27, 2011 by JayBaller10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Guys I think there was no-one here thought Fitz should have played before last year. I was lobbying heavy to name Fitz the starter during pre season last year. If I have time I'll look up some of those old threads. You don't seem to remember that in 2009 despite all the turmoil, he led us to come from behind wins against eventual AFC Championship game competitor Jets, and the Dolphins. He lit it up in a snow storm. We went 5-4 with him in and 1-6 with everyone else. Just because you missed it, doesn't mean we all did.

Maury Ballstein Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Spiller brings a ton to the table......guess you missed the Raiders game where he had 60 or so yards on 5 or so touches.....Spiller is a beast, worst idea ever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against the colts he was excellent in the snow. I remember him laying out a massive block on one run. I even brought it up. Dont assume! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I've been wondering if anything happened to Spiller during the game. He was barely on the field during the second half. Is he hurt? Is he in Gailey's doghouse? Were they just playing a conservative strategy that didn't involve him? Were they afraid to use him in such a high pressure situation? I kept looking for him and he was hardly ever on the field. Any ideas or insight? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiller is no where near Evans, well besides he is playing and not in a boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how to do what you did link wise, but here's what I said: Fitz is the class of the 3 QBs we have on the roster right now. If we did nothing, I'd be for Coach Gailey designing up an offense around him. He's not accurate and erratic, true. But he's got the fire to win. That's important. In that Indy game, yeah we were playig chumps, blah, blah, blah, but he played great in the blizzard. Can you honestly see Trent doing that? He didn't even look cold. Put him in there, throw some screens, run the freakin' football, throw some 10-15 yard passes which he seems to be good at and Trent sucks at coupled with an aggressive improved D and we could battle it out for the last playoff spot into mid December.

I saw, more willing than I was back then to say what you thought. I was all brand new then However as I said my point is if you read that post most people were very down on Fitz being anything more than a back up. Some people need a little time.

Hmmm I have always thought running back was the most "natural" of all the positions and easiest to learn It depends upon what's expected of the running back besides "take the handoff and run, man!" Chan expects a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
