Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 AP CJ CJ2k Arian Foster MJD Gore McFadden Charles Lynch Rice Steven Jackson Morris McCoy Deangelo Williams Demarco Murray Ingram More than 10 RBs that are all better than FJ. Just saying. Forgot about Alfred Morris, good one. I feel like DeMarco Murray and McFadden are on about the same level as Fred because of their similar injury concerns. As much as I'm a Bama fan and loved him in college, Ingram has been a disappointment in the NFL to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatloaf Sandwich Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) He averages 19.7 carries per game in his CAREER. He's the exactly right person to name. If ANYONE thinks CJ is that durable they're smoking something. The point is NOBODY these days does 20. Not even AP. Lol 19.7 so you're saying it would have been 20 if he didn't get hurt. Thanks just like I said. Edited August 7, 2013 by BuffaloFood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan of Murray but the guy can move. McFadden is an absolute MONSTER when healthy. Which is on par with Freddie. They are a different kind of back but personally I'd rather have McFadden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarylandCuseBills Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Last year, watching CJ sitting on the sidelines while Fred was getting carries because it "was Fred's turn" was among the most frustrating things of the season. I don't know about everyone else, but I'd find myself screaming at the TV for CJ to touch the ball. We finally have coaches who want to use the personnel we have to our advantage. We finally have a coach who wants to acknowledge that CJ is a super star. I can't see how this could possibly be a bad thing. Quite honestly, this is the best news that we could have gotten from our OC. Imagine if he had said that Fred would be the focal point of this offense, everyone would be freaking out.

boyst Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 On your top ten RB's are you all just listing the best runners or the overall best running backs? What can't Fred Jackson do? His blocking is well above average. His ability to catch and get open down field is clear. His YAC is impressive despite the many short dumps he gets. His running is powerful and he can run the ball anywhere between the sidelines. Overall FJ is still a top 10 back. He may not have 1000 rushing yards to show it but he has shown it in his play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) CJ isn't going to average 20 carries a game. You're nuts if you think he will. You're likely correct. However, he could get 20 touches per game combining rushing attempts and receptions. Edited August 7, 2013 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think all those other RBs that many posted cant do the same things at just as high or higher level of play? Do you really think Freddie is better than those guys? CJ CJ AP Foster Gore McCoy Forte MJD D. Williams J. Stewart These guys are at the top of the league every year. And though I thought Freddie was there a few years ago, he's shown he can't stay healthy enough to contribute for a whole season, is getting old, and has actually started to become a liability when it comes to holding onto the football. For years almost automatic when it comes to ball security, then all the sudden he's getting I popped out left and right last year. Times are changing. As fans of this team, we should be embracing CJ as the new leader on this squad of RBs and one of the true electrical players in the league.

microscopes Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 So. Taking one of the top 10 backs in the league and not putting him on the field as a factor is a good thing? Put your 11 best players on the field. Its not about taking turns. Its about winning. This needs to STOP. Fred Jackson is not one of the top 10 RB's in the league. I love Fred as much as anyone. I love his sportsmanship, his dedication, his work ethic. I love that he loves Buffalo. I get that. Everyone loves him. And that sways our opinion of him. He is a GOOD RB. Spiller is a GREAT RB. Spiller last season averaged more per carry than Fred EVER did in his entire career. Spiller had more receiving yards than Fred EVER had in his entire career. Spiller had more TD's last season than Fred ever had in his career. I love Fred. We all do. But he is not top 10 and he is no where near as good as Spiller.

Put your 11 best players on the field. Its not about taking turns. Its about winning. I agree that we should keep our top 10 back on the field as much as possible. That's why Spiller will be getting all the carries he could want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
