papazoid Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 C J Spiller will not be on this team in 2015 and maybe not this season. CJ can become a free agent after this season. I believe he will absolutely want to test free agency and has no plans to give the Bills any kind of home town discount. in fact, I don't think he wants to be here. CJ has said he will seek advice from Jairus Byrd on how to handle free agency. Jason LaCanfora just came out with a story stating the Bills would consider trading CJ. probably leaked by the Bills to drum up interest. the bills admitted they tried to move up into the second round of this years draft in order to pick RB Carlos Hyde. even though you would consider RB our first or second strongest and deepest unit (other than DL). possibly the strongest RB unit in the league of any team. the bills traded for Eagles RB Bryce Brown. the bills added Anthony Dixon. the Bills extended fred Jackson another year. Spiller is not viewed as an every down type of back. he gets winded easily. he is very elusive and a game breaking home run threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the OP's take, Spiller has openly stated at least a few times that he wants to stay here. Spiller was very excited to see Sammy Watkins drafted by the Bills, and about the only player equally excited was EJ. I could see why the FO might think it would be a smart move to trade Spiller before the trade deadline should the team fall on its face the first half of the season. That is "IF" they can't reach a reasonable negotiation point with CJ by then, and the FO wants to make that #1 to Cleveland next year less painful with a #2 or #3. Should Hackett grow a brain, and utilize Spiller like Gailey did in a pass first, spread offense then that might make him as valuable as to get a #1 pick in trade. Better to get something for him then see him walk like Levitre, Byrd. But this trading away #1 picks for 4th rounders (Lynch) is beyond moronic. The Buffalo Bills, farm club for the rest of the league. Someone explain why Mr Fumble, Bryce Brown from the Iggles who hasn't proven a darn thing, and is currently 4th string along with Ronnie Wingo is anywhere near as good as CJ (who made the pro bowl when used properly in 2012) Anthony Dixon from SF, in his lone start in 2013. 28 rushing attempts for 56 yards for a whopping 2.0 YPC avg. EDIT: Should the team fail badly on offense again this year, can we trade Hackett for a yoohoo in a bottle, and a pack of slim jims? Or just fire the guy before the half way point and bring back Gailey. Man, what that guy would do with an actual decent WR corps.

The Iggles also had the #1 graded run blocking unit in the NFL last year. Jeez, they had an OG who graded (46.7),wowzer! I can see why Brown might have seen some success as an alternative to LeSean McCoy. Still, it doesn't explain why so many Bills fans think CJ is so easily replaced by someone who has done almost nothing in the NFL, and why that player is currently 4th string. Its very telling to me that Chip kelly tried to trade for Spiller, and equally telling that he traded away Brown. I'm hoping that CJ does well this year, and the bills sign him to a long term deal. I tend to appreciate the better players on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Had CJ ever run in a read option offense before? With that crap we had as an Oline last year that couldn't ever convert a 3rd and 2 and CJ playing most of the year with a high ankle sprain he still averaged 4.6 per. Talk of trading him now is ridiculous. Lots of teams are bringing in numerous good RBs----SF, NE, even the Eagles got Sproles. Its bc these guys get hurt and hardly anyone carries it 300 plus times let alone 400. So brining in the RBs we did tells me we simply wanted and had the opportunity to upgrade over CJ, 32 yr old Fred and Tashard Choice. Im not on the trade CJ train. No way. Get an OC first. Now by the sound of things it appears EJ is starting to look better. So maybe Hacket is starting to actually coach em up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I think the going rate is a 6 pack of yoohoo along with the box of slim jims At this point it looks like one bottle will be good enough for Hackett, along with two or three slim jims...one of them bitten. Now by the sound of things it appears EJ is starting to look better. So maybe Hacket is starting to actually coach em up. Not according to what I'm reading about Marrone, and his frustration with the offense. Right now the Bills D is killing the O. 8 sacks in 17 plays in series. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/team-report-buffalo-bills-115517731--nfl.html its because Chip is a freaking idiot. Yea well, I would love some 10-6 type freaking idiot for the Bills. From what I'm hearing about Kelly is that he has instituted state of the art camp in every aspect for his team. Diet & nutrition, exercise regime, workout pace. You do know that the Eagles didn't have one player land on IR last year. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000256451/article/chip-kelly-conditioning-plan-helps-prevent-injuries http://mmqb.si.com/2014/07/29/training-camp-report-philadelphia-eagles/ "Kelly runs, by far, the most efficient practice in all of football. There is no wasted time on the field. I mean, why have guys standing around and watching when you do team drills side by side on the same field? And he’s also just smart. At one point, the offensive starters lined up against the entire defensive unit. At every defensive position, the four-deep roster was lined up, one behind the other at each position. As the offense was shifting and motioning, the defensive players went through their checks and calls. Each side of the ball only took a few steps into the play, but that’s the most important split second. By having the four-deep defense on the field, the less experienced players could mirror and learn from the players in front of them. That’s just smart. And it’s so simple. That’s the genius of Chip Kelly." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
