DC Grid Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 So FredEx makes sense for a team that's stacked with a lot of young talent and has been to the SB the last two years, but he's not good enough for the Bills? Yeah that doesn't inspire a lot of confidence when it comes to the Bills decision making process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Greg Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Awesome. Great spot for him. Hope he does well. Can't wait to cheer him on in the NFC, and thank god he's not on the Pats. Keep a great career rolling FJ! Looking forward to you returning and hopefully signing a one day contract to retire as a Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 How can this be true? So many here said without a doubt he was signing with Pats* Fred is a dignified man who has his standards. I'm sure he and his agent had a plan in place to deal with the possibility of him being released. It's not hard to imagine that "what if" communications were made previously and then a quick phone call gets Fred on the plane to where he wants to go.

Yeah that doesn't inspire a lot of confidence when it comes to the Bills decision making process. I would bet anything that if Seattle also had Karlos, Boobie and Bryce as backups to Marshawn, they would not be signing Fred. Turbin just isn't very good.

Maddog69 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I couldn't think of a better place for him to go. That's great. I hope we face him in the Superbowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TH3 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Seattle signs Fred immediately but the Bills didn't need him. Glad he's getting a chance with an organization that understands how to win.

negativo Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Â The motives? 34 yr old - oldest RB in league - hurt much of the time - 4th on depth chart.....expensive......am missing any motives? Â I don't know...he only led the team in rushing and receptions last season, is one of the best blocking backs in the NFL, highest character, top leadership skills, and was the team captain. Oh, and none of the other backup RBs on our roster have done jack sh*t in this league. Â You think Seattle signed him because he's a washed up old hag? Wake up.

Â Brown has had some very good games in the NFL. He racked up 170 yards rushing in back-to-back games in 2 starts as a rookie. He had another 100-yard game backing up Shady in his sophomore campaign. In his only game as the Bills' feature back last year, he had 100 yards from scrimmage on 13 touches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayoffsPlease Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) ever consider changing your avatar pic to Eeyore? Done "Ouch." But you're right. It seems almost intentional now, Bills release Lynch, he goes to Seattle & rips it up. Now they take Fred. Yeh, its personal. JMHO There was also that weird thing where we sent them a late draft pick in order to put Tavaris Jackson as inactive on our roster for a year.

cage Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Fred can take over all of Marshawn's media obligations! I need to rewatch the "I'm just here so I don't get fined" interview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BmarvB Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) He deserves a chance to finish his career with a title contender (as long as it WASN'T the Patriots). I hope it happens for him. Edited September 1, 2015 by BmarvB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
