Braedenstearns Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I know some people are not that happy with CJ because of his vision, missings holes, etc. But I don't think the Bills will ever have someone so much a team player then CJ Spiller. From day one CJ came in and worked his butt off. Even though as a rookie he didn't see the field much, I never recall him ever complaining about not seeing the field. He always came back to the same thing " whatever is best for the team" He was always a team player. Even in running the football he always credits everyone else for his plays... He gets a big run he always will say " because of my blockers" he is a humble player, and we don't see much of that anymore in the NFL. Even when he was breaking records back in 2012, he said" I give credit to my teammates". And probably the biggest thing is, he truly cares for his teammates. Everytime someone is hurt you always see him there right next to the the man down. Sunday, as Jackson was being carted of the field, Spiller goes over and gives him a hug. He's one of those players that is always there when you need him. Someone has something wrong, he's always always reaching out to them. CJ Spiller is a team player! To see him maybe play his last game as a Bill ( I hope not though) and to have it end like that was truly sad. To see this Humble, great, team player go off the field crying in pain... was sad. No matter where he goes my favorite player will always be C.J Spiller, he's a player people.should like. Get Well CJ! And I know its a business, but I hope Whaley sees how much a team player he is and how much he wants to be here, and try as hard as he can to keep him in Buffalo.

YoloinOhio Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Extremely well said. Very much hoping for a win-win for the team and the player. I am sure one of the first people to call and check on him was Terry Pegula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I think he learned a lot from Freddie about how to act in the NFL. He's definitely one of the most genuine, good guys on the roster. I'm pulling for him regardless of what team he ends up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 It was pretty heart-rending to see him carted off the field. I believe he is an asset to the team, and a great guy to have on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 CJ, the person, seems awesome. CJ, the player, is frustratingly inconsistent, but fun to watch sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'm probably wrong about this. But my gut feeling is he is back next year with the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsForever Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Feel bad for CJ for how it ended and for the fact that I believe his talents were not used properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I think CJ will stay in BUF for a hometown discount, but I'm just speculating based on the type of person he is. He and Freddie are really close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Gump Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Love CJ and would love to see him stay in Buffalo. I think him crying as he was carted off was a combination of the pain, him knowing this was his opportunity with Fred being out and knowing his career in Buffalo might be over. He is a great guy and I wish nothing but the best for him and his family. I was hoping he was going to wave to the crowd as he left, but I'm sure lifting his right arm was painful as well.

TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 That's what I thought the crying was about too. I know he wanted to prove everyone wrong who said he did't have it anymore, and as soon as he busts off a great run he gets hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I think CJ has a player option for the sixth year. Usually those are a decent amount of money, sometimes the amount of say, a transition player. Before this year it was a foregone conclusion that he wouldn't exercise that option and try to work out a long term deal with the Bills or enter FA. Now, after not starting out well, and getting hurt like this, his best option may be to take that last year and play it out hoping he does well and enter next year's free agency. I'm not sure when the deadline is to choose, perhaps it's already past. But since it's a player option and not the team's, it's CJ's choice.

mrags Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Sorry to break up the love fest, but... Pretty sure CJ caused a stir in his rookie season and 2nd season when he didn't get carries and was removed from the starting spot in week 2-3 I'm favor of Lynch and Freddie. No link. It was over 4 friggin years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and no link or proof, it must be true! Edited October 21, 2014 by NDBUFFCUSEFAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 CJ is a great teammate and I would bet that every player on the Bills (with Fred first in line) would love to see him back. Given that someone took issue with my saying haters will hate, I will end with: Crusaders will crusade - even those who in other posts (accurately) critique our guards, but, at the same time go out of their way to trash CJ. I wish CJ a speedy recovery - and a long career with the team and city he loves - the Buffalo Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
