Best Player Available Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 RB where you're ancient at 29 Shady= 28 years old. With high mileage. Father time is undefeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I laughed when the Bills drafted him with Lynch and Jackson under contract. One of many dumb-ass moves by Buddy Nix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I don't think that his best days were behind him. He was a bad scheme fit with Marrone. He wasn't a guy on his last legs like Freddie. There still aren't a lot of miles on Spiller. Something isn't adding up but the speed and quickness is still there. He just can't play football. Agreed The problem is that it's hard to find a scheme that calls for your RB to do no running between the tackles, provide no pass protection and not catch any passes more than 5 yards downfield.

Best Player Available Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) spiller has 704 carries and 192 catches. mccoy as 1680 runs and 336 catches. spiller should be fresh I agree with that. it was the other back I commented on. the guy who got an extension at 27. Then again one of the arguements for old Fred was he was low mileage too. Granted he was older when he left Buffalo.

HumbleAndHungry Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I'd cut Tate and bush and sign spiller . Have him and Powell return punts and kickoffs.J Williams replaces reggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw Reggie do damage in NOLA and figured that Spiller would be used similarly. He just couldn't figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djp14150 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 spiller has 704 carries and 192 catches. mccoy as 1680 runs and 336 catches. spiller should be fresh I agree...he hasn't lost his tire tread yet. I would get him in a heartbeat. Since it's after the season started their isn't any guaranteed season money. That was the primary reason they cut felton then resigned him.

KDIGGZ Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 We already have 2 RB's that bounce it outside and lose yards. Maybe the Jets will add him for Thurs, that would be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWATeam Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I was always a Spiller supporter but I've come to the conclusion that he's just not a football player. Lacks vision and Instincts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 If Reggie Bush goes down, or Shady, I'd pick up Spiller. I do think he's not an intelligent back, who lacks the mental acuity and the body type to be an every down back. The only system Spiller has ever functioned well in is out of the spread offense of Chan Gailey. If Sean Payton can't utilize his skills it's very likely Spiller is finished. He had a good 6 year career by NFL standards. Entered NFL in 2010 at age 23, looks finished at age 29. Spiller was an excellent punt returner in college. Unfortunately that never translated to the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihilarian Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Good thing Spiller chose to sign with the Saints rather than resign with Buffalo. Whaley made him a decent offer and he went to NO instead. Bills dodged another Bullet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
