It's hard to say what a new coaching staff thinks of existing players. They allegedly didn't love Jackson, have made comments about brown publicly and roman didn't fight to keep boobie in San Fran. They also allegedly chased Powell, and drafted a back.

 

It's possible they don't look at the group with the same views we do.

Maybe they should have drafted one higher then or FA?

I think it s been more of a "leave no stone unturned" more than they cant work with what they have including Willams now. Conner and Felton. lots of options there to noodle with as Coach i might wager>

and i will never be sure about the Jackson story honestly. Its such a homer story that it seems so Brandon ish

 

It's bad when Rodak is the voice of reason.

dont worry. wont happen.

 

I think we already have our reclaimation project on the team in the Cog

And dont forget Harvin?

Ridiculous. If Whaley were to do this, or Ryan, .........please, no. And what the heck is all the negativity towards Freddie now? How much does a guy have to give and show every year before people stop with the "you're old and slow now so go home and, and thanks a lot, really, I mean it".........Is that what it is to be a Bills fan?

New poster?

 

Your Point about Fred Jackson as a Buffalo Bill. From honest to goodness Bufalo Bill fan is your post is refreshing. Being a Fan is being a Fan of the team. the whole team. all the time.

I still B word and yell at the TV but i always root for the guys on the field.

That why i dont want no Ray Rice here.

I dont care if he is Adrian Peterson good. I would take Fred everyday. Even if i need to go down there and block for him. would not be pretty. but i would do it.

The only thing that hit the ground faster than his fiancee was his YPC.

 

He sucks. Let him park cars.

ouch

and awesome Weo

Or, it doesn't take intelligent football fans much to realize he is 34 years old and on the decline?

 

The team already wanted to let him loose, but Pegula went all Jerry Jones because of the fans undying love for a 34 year old RB, that probably wouldn't be a starter on any other NFL team. I love the guy. Went out of my way to get his autograph. But I am done wanting guys on the team because of what they do in the community, or what kind of leader they are. He's behind McCoy on the depth chart, and Brown/Williams both have a higher ceiling of what they could become.

 

Whaley gave up a draft pick for Brown, drafted Williams, traded for McCoy...cutting Jackson saves needed money.

 

I am fine with keeping him this year, and would love to see him win here, but not at the expense of cutting a younger, more promising RB. I'd rather have the potential of what Brown/Williams could become, than Jackson's 500 yards rushing this season.

 

But, I definitely do not take Ray Rice over Jackson, Brown, Williams or even Dixon, to be honest.

That would be so classy. Nice thought !

it's all about timing. Wouldn't making the announcement when they had him the keys to a new pick up truck as Superbowl MVP make better sense?

Well.
i have to return to the concept, its not my money.

I dont think they need any this year (6.5) nor is it 'needed" money right now.

Now that could change Bubbles, and the system needs to flex. Injuries or opportunity could prevail.

 

i dont see anyone playing better than Fred just yet. I did watch Boobie and Bryce last year btw

But i can assume McCoy is by far and wide the Man!!

But Dixon is more of a niche player ( as a RB ) and Brown has an uphill battle i think. Potential ? sure.

Williams is an unknown in the NFL. again we can wager on the potential ( i like him ! )

But why dispose of a known qty for potential. when you may not need to to , honestly?

Bryce Brown is a tease. He is the one with something to prove.

I agree with you 100% let the best player win the job.

well. i think it just might.

Lets go with that thought for now BPA :thumbsup:

Not happening . Fred was on the NFL network a couple weeks ago. Said he was playing 3 more yrs until he was 37. Should have seen L.T.s face.

Innocent until proven guilty, no?

When OJ was found not guilty 20 years ago (Gawd has it really been that long?) it's not like Hollywood rushed out to make another Naked Gun movie. In fact OJs career as an actor and sports broadcaster was was dead as his ex wife and her boyfriend.

 

NFL is in the same entertainment business. Rice is damaged commercial goods

That team was pretty terrible, for the record.

oh gosh really? i had no idea of the record. Thanks for that fact. And that was not the point. I enjoy any games we win and even some we lose, I dont need playoffs nor superbowls to be a fan, but i do need a group of guys i like, which is why i dont watch a game of nba anymore since they are mostly primadonnas. But again, very insightful, I thought we were a top tier team until you mentioned we were terrible.

"Thinking" you are a top tier team and actually being one after off season paper crowns are subjectively won. Are two very different things. Stay enlightened! Glad to hear the NFL has mostly no primadonnas

And the Pats** will be hailed as geniuses for signing him. The Bills would be derided.

Because the Pats have a reputation for making moves like this get them to the top. We don't.

they better keep fred this year as a transition to what looks like a team full of thugs that rex is assembling, If he were to get rice, i would stop being a bills fan for a year at least, i already didnt want harvin, (thug) we got incognito (jerk), he wanted some other dbag, and we drafted williams. This and adding rice would be the last straw. And considering he wanted to cut fred on top of all this, My friendly neighborhood buffalo bills would instantly have become the evil "Venom" version of themselves.

 

Freds and Kyle are the only real core remnants of the team I watched for the last 10 years.

A team of thugs? I probably missed this one, but how is Harvin a thug? I'll agree about Incognito - he always was an A-hole. So that's one player, where is the team full of thugs?

the guy can play. would be inexpensive. works for me. he is perfect for what Roman wants to do. then we can ditch all but mccoy, fred, felton and connor . the personal stuff is what it is, but pretty much ancient history..

 

WTF makes you think he can play. The last time he played, he was not very good.
