Should The Bills Retain CJ Spiller?

Great ability, but it shows nowhere near often enough. As has been said already, he simply refuses to hit a hole quickly for 4 yards and looks for the big one every carry.

 

But what REALLY put me over the edge on Spiller was the sack he gave up today. Not only did he miss the initial block, but then he turned his back on his man while the guy stepped right around him to get the strip sack. Inexcusable. There is NO part of his heart that's into pass pro.

Yes That just about sums it up.

the guy has a 5 yard per carry career average in the nfl

 

thats ahead of a lot of great runners including demarco murray.

 

i hope they keep him, maybe an incentive oriented contract if he'll go that way.

 

And yet I would bet 32 GM's would take Murray over Spiller.

Spiller is a coward when it comes to pass protection. After all these years, he just won't commit to it. He needs to go.

 

That is a horrible comment, IMO. He isn't a good pass protector, that is true. It is something he never had to do in college and something that doesn't come naturally to him. He has gotten better at it over the years. I believe he has worked on it and tries. He will never be Fredex at pass protection, no question. A coward, though? Please.

I thought Spiller had another dismal game. He whimped out on the block that led to Orton's sack fumble. He can't break a play open to save his life. With his lack of ability to aid in stopping opponent's pass rush, I think he is more of a liability than an asset. I will be disappointed if he is back next year.

 

Your thoughts?

 

Its awful funny when he has a offensive line that can open holes & a OC that knows how to use his strengths he can average 6 YPC , this could be another fire Hackett post instead of keeping CJ ...

I like CJ and would like him to be part of the team. I do believe that, with a better interior line (on the Bills or another team), he will return to his prior production. I also think that he is a good teammate and is well liked by Fred and others on the team.

 

At the end of the day, it is going to depend on $$$$.
