Like a Phoenix from the ashes, CJ Spiller on the Chiefs

[CardinalScotts]

Hopefully their Spiller experiment works out better for him that our Bush experiment last year.

didnt need Bush, CJ was on 3 teams last year alone- under a new contract he's a good kick returner #3 back

[Manther]

If this keeps up he'll soon play on more teams than his wonderlic score

Bahhahha TRUE! What was that a bakers dozen!?

Cant disagree here. While there is always excitement and optimism when you take a highly touted play maker in the draft, there was just absolutely no need for us to draft one at RB with the 9th pick when we had Lynch and Freddie. Even more foolish, is that he was drafted to be more of a change of pace back that Gailey liked to call a "scat" back. So we used the 9th pick in a loaded draft to take a THIRD RB that was intended to be part of a duo rather than a bell cow type player. Spiller showed a lot of promise and hope for proving the gamble worth it after his one big season, then did nothing ever again and compounded the mistake of taking a RB at 9 when you had 2 really good ones already.

 

Even if Ezekiel Elliot had been in the draft, it would have been dumb to take him given we had Lynch and Freddie. I know they had soured on Lynch, and rightfully so given his block head off-field non sense at the time, but RB was FAR from a need even if they wanted to trade him as we had Freddie still and could have added another one later if need be.

 

We had so many other needs and so many great players at positions that needed help went right after Spiller over the next 15 picks in no particular order. This was worse than taking Whitner over what was thought to be a lock of Ngata because at least we NEEDED a Safety at the time. We did not need a RB with this pick.

 

S - Earl Thomas

DE - JPP

WR - Demaryius Thomas, Dez Bryant

G - Mike Iupati

OT - Bryan Bulaga

 

Man just more reasons why I hated Chan Gailey. Making matters worse, when Freddie and CJ were crushing it on the ground game with 6 to 7 yards per carry in the first half of a game, he would then rush 3 times the 2nd half and put the game on noodle arm Ryan FitzCrapTrick who would then throw us right out of the game. FU Gailey...you were the worst.

I couldn't have said it better. I was really bummed out that draft day & knew the Bills had a bunch of losers running the show.

Ryan L and C.Biscuit were breathing fire at folks who criticized CJ and they were dead certain he was going to be awesome in New Orleans........."Lock it Down" said Ryan L ........but they are not to be found in this thread.

 

I think most of the people who thought he was great just say nothing about him now.......which is probably for the best.

Haha. You're creepy.

 

1) I wanted Bryan Bulaga in Spiller's draft. But instead of just crying about it, I saw an amazing physical talent who could be a weapon if used right. And for a year and half, he was.

 

2) Yup, I thought Spiller and Payton was going to be a great mix in NO. I was wrong. You should try admitting sometime instead wasting time with the same boring takes about McCoy.

 

3) you treated Andy Levitre like he was John Hannah & killed people who disagreed you. You probably have a ton of terrible talents but I don't read many of your posts because they all have the same boring "I'm so smart" and d bag tone to all of them.

 

Say what you want to about Ryan, but he's not a bore & probably actually has friends in real life.
