boyst Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 This is just too much to resist responding to... Trade deadline is done. Adrian Peterson has just as many years of lifespan left as Jackson. Peterson is not as good as Jackson. We could never get fair value for Jackson. Jackson is not going anywhere.

Best Player Available Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) would you consider trading fred to the vikes with ap done for a while? what is fred's value? Seriously, how much do you know about football? For once the Bills have a position where we can say is a strength! How friggin rare is that? So yea, lets trade a guy who would have had serious MVP consideration because we have a kick butt water bug. really, are you serious?

artmalibu Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Whats worse trading him or over paying him. I am sue he will want top nfl rb money, if so let his agent broker a trade deal that will give the bills a low first or high second pick. If he is worth the big bucks he should be worth a good draft pick. As much as I like Fred I dont want to see a stupid extension deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â God bless Freddie, but Peterson is as good as Freddie. He is 26. He has nearly twice as many yards as Freddie, 4 times as many TDs. He averages 1350 yards a season. Â Couldn't resist.

nuklz2594 Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 some of the comments are comical. this is a hypothetical question. why overpay for a 30 year old rb? he will want spiller money. not saying he does not deserve it, just seems excessive. we are not a playoff contender. not even close. ap is much better than fred, just saying. to be honest i would be happy with hillis.

Â Surely you must have posted this after entirely to much to drink for your Christmas celebration b/c that is just stupid talk !!! Do you think when Fred got hurt that the Vikings were entertaining the idea of trading AP to us ----------- NOT !!!!! Â Go back to drinking & when you wake up tomorrow you'll feel like crap & realize just how foolish of a post this actually is !! :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jabber Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 A 30 year old RB that was putting up MVP numbers. Is that a bad thing? Jackson had his best season this year before he broke his leg. This was the first season that Jackson was the starter from the beginning and he proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he belongs as a starting RB in the league. So, just because Jackson is 30, that means the Bills should trade him? Very bad idea! Â If Jackson can get 20-25 touches a game, and Spiller gets 10-15 touches a game, the Bills will have the best RB tandem in the league. Â A 30 year old RB that was putting up MVP numbers.

TheBrownBear Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) I'd trade him in the offseason if you can get decent value. He's too old to rely on and is unlikely to stay healthy for a full season going forward. How many 31+ yr old rbs do you remember making the probowl? Spiller is the future. If you can get a second or third for fred, ship him off to a contender. He'd be a great fit for someone like new england.

mrags Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Yes if: you can get a 2nd rounder or better you can get a stud WR you can get a stud passrusher Fred holds out of his contract for better money (top RB money) if you think he's less than 2 years from retirement (which is basically the case for a 30+ RB)  No if: Gailey ever decides to run the ball correctly Gailey thinks he can actually utilize both Fred and CJ you can pick up a WR and or passrusher in FA Fred decides he's 30+ and goes forward with his current contract Fred signs a 2 year extension with more if a signing bonus than his actual contract number  all this being said, the trade deadline is over and the Vikes won't be in the hunt for a stud RB anyway. We need a team one good RB away from winning the Superbowl or more likely being one RB short of being a true contender. Green Bay Cincinati New England Arizona these teams cone to mind. Arizona only added because I feel they are better than thier record and should be better next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggieScooby Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Jackson is a great RB and if I'm the Bills I extend his deal or face him every year in New England. He's so good you know Belichick would snatch him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineMoxie Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 No way! Fred's still better than Spiller and it would be nice to have a 1-2 punch in the backfield, especially if Chan would actually stick to the run a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealityCheck Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Trading Jackson this off season would be extremely stupid. Fred maybe 30, but his performance each year appears to easily eclipse his previous year's production. One can argue that he has not even played his best football yet.
