26CornerBlitz Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Me to...... I looked at him and saw Barry Sanders He has terrible instincts with very little ability to set up and read blocking. Doesn't know how to be patient to the hole and accelerate through it. Just a straight line speed guy with the ability to hit a big play now and then. Bust! Also not a good receiver.

Helpmenow Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Great year in 2012. I remember seeing him play in college and went holy cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Remember when it was Hackett's fault? Hackett is killing it in Jacksonville though! I'll freely admit I thought he would be a much player than he became. Seems like a great dude. Sad some people seem to get some weird joy out of failing. Live your life.

HurlyBurly51 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Another Clemson great college player. Not in the NFL Who else? Certainly not Sammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't you be laughing at folks calling him a failure? Anyway, if you wanna start a CJ Spiller sucked in the NFL GoFundMe, I'd be happy to donate $10.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 CJ's career circling the drain at this point. Nice guy, but was a bad pick for the Bills at #9 in the first round. Had his moments....but, they were to few. Doesn't bode well for the tank strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, if you wanna start a CJ Spiller sucked in the NFL GoFundMe, I'd be happy to donate $10. You're right. It is pretty funny. Dude won. CJ's career circling the drain at this point. Nice guy, but was a bad pick for the Bills at #9 in the first round. Had his moments....but, they were to few. I was on the Bulaga train for that draft but let's be honest, does a decent RT who is hurt a lot really change anything for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDD Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I still remember laughing when Nix drafted Spiller while having both Lynch and Jackson in the backfield. Classic example of the Bills trying to show how much smarter they are than the rest of the NFL. Priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's maybe 100 RBs in professional football, give or take. He is not one of them. So that's more like in the bottom 1% of his profession.

mountainwampus Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 All his best career plays were in the passing game. He would be a better WR than a RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 How could I have been so wrong about CJ Spiller?Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking either. He's not even close to one of the biggest Bills mistakes. Like Bill Lumberg said, "I am going to have to go ahead and disagree." The thing is CB, even if you are correct it doesn't make the entire Spiller episode any less sad, ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably shouldn't go down this rabbit hole again, but the guy did have a great season and a half stretch. If ended up being a Jamel Charles type player, would anyone been against it? And all these picks are amplified when you don't have a qb. The Pats sent a 1st round pick on Lawrence Maroney and no one cares about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
