I have to say I would trade Spiller.

 

Cleveland took a lot of heat for trading Trent Richardson but they got good value for him. Spiller and RB's are not the answer in the NFL. They aren't even in the question anymore. As many on here point out, their ability to pass block is probably more important than their ability to run. This team has only one asset of any value - Spiller.

Go ahead and accuse me of trading away the good players. I ask you what is the chance he resigns with the team? At 6 yards a carry last year how many wins did that translate into? This team needs multiple OL, multiple TE's, a gamebreaking WR, two DB's, and now a DE.

It is time to make up for yet another bad decsion by Nix and build this team around the o-line, EJ, and the passing game like every other succesful team is doing.

Continue to build through the draft. Anyone that thought we would be 3-0 by now is just fooling themselves

 

I'm so happy that I'm not a Jets fan right now, at least we're getting slapped with reality early. They're gonna be planning for their parade when they're mathematically eliminated week 10.

Where ? How? Trade up/down? What position do you target? OL, WR, TE, DB?

 

How long do you want to rebuild?

 

They have been building through the draft with 5 different GM's for over a decade.

If RBs "are not the answer in the NFL" and blocking is more important than running, why would anyone be interested in trading for him? And since RBs aren't valued, how can Spiller be the "one asset of any value"?

I didn't just shake my head at this thread, I actually got pissed. Give me a freaking break- the guy was arguably the second best running back in the NFL last year and you want to trade him after three games- one of which he ran for 100 yards? You want to become the Browns and have our front office send us the message that they're throwing in the towel on this season? Yeah that'll go over well. Get outta here man. No really, get outta here.
