DirtDart Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Fred is a team first guy, has payed his dues no doubt. But he simply can not stay healthy. I would love to see him stay with the team on a restructured Contract. But at his cap hit Boobie could be that change of pace back on the cheap. I think they would be better served to give both Fred, and Brown the axe and pick up a stud RB in the 3rd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'm calling my shot. Fred won't get cut in TC or anytime this season. He will suit up for the Bills after proving once again that he is the best back on the team. He won't start over McCoy due to the money, but Brown, Boobie, or Powell will be gone after Fred thoroughly outperforms them in TC and preseason. He'll be the clear #2. All the naysayers will once again be proven wrong. It's just what Fred does. He's far from finished. Someday the naysayers will be right. But since they've been wrong for the last 5 years, I'm going with the winner. I'm going with Fred Jackson. or the fact McCoy is the better player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA Grant Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 With a reduced role in the run game, would Fred Jackson go back to playing Special Teams at all? Would he be a good fit? Dixon blocked two punts I think last year, wouldn't someone as powerful as Jackson be a difference maker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frez Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Personally, I think it's time to cut ties with Fred Jackson too. He's 34 and I noticed his speed has dropped off from what it use to be. Love the man -the player but I think it's time to say thanks for everything Fred. JMHO Everyone loves Fred until the 34 year old RB gets hurt again. Edited March 10, 2015 by Frez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 or the fact McCoy is the better player Maybe. I've seen Freddy outplay both Lynch and Spiller. I think he raises his game with McCoy here, and surprises yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we have an abundance at the position right now and you want to cut two to draft one. Oyy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Jackson but anyone in the league would choose McCoy and Lynch over him as their RB. Edited March 10, 2015 by nucci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 It could work, McCoy outside run or receive, Boobie down the middle, Fred pass protection/receiver. Brown still worries me with fumbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not going to be like last year where there was a different RB almost every down. Barring injury McCoy is the main back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8-8 Forever? Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Ugh...heard from a source he has been informed he is being released...Said it will happen by Tuesday. Hate...hate...hate this move... with mccoy in town, he is essentially cut as he will not see much of the field I would hate it.....but at the same time I would understand it roster is limited, cuts have to be made. winning trumps loyalty in the NFL. need fast healthy talented backs until we can find a QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Or you could be crazy. But it just might be a lunatic we're lookin' for I think Leroi is associated somehow with Whaley or someone who had insight into the pro player analysis. And you know even though I don't agree with everything he says or his view on Fred, I value his input and do not think he is "trolling". I don't think Leroi is trolling and I do understand the strength of the analytics case for cutting Fred. But he's definitely a guy who wants to have it both ways - wants to be seen as an insider with valuable inside gouge while leaving himself that "in my opinion" out. Either you're sharing inside info, or you're sharing your opinion. Either or, not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
