u r the ludicrous one. Fred was amazing at an age where most NFL running backs are over the hill.--And this was on a lousy team. Fred Jackson starting at age 22 or 23 would have probably led the league in rushing at least a few times and gotten massive yardage.he was brilliant making yardage out of the absolute nothing the bills o line gave him.He had home run ability even at 30 years of age. He was powerful enough to drag d players that xtra 2 yards.

put him on those 90s bills teams with a full career...he woulda led the league in total yardage as often as thurman.

Nothing ludicrous about speculating what Fred coulda done if he werent ignored for the prime running back yrs.Fred shoulda been well over 10k yards with a decent start.No problem at all.

 

Talk about hyperbole. Fred played with a lot of heart. But he was never an elite runner.

This is just wrong. Before the knee injury in 2011, Fred was leading the league in rushing and was getting MVP talk. The only reason he never got more was because the Bills wasted 1st round picks on Marshawn and CJ, who then got beat out by Fred both times. Fred may be done, but you can't say he was never an elite runner.

I'll say it. Guys like Gale Sayers, OJ Simpson, Walter Payton, and Eric Dickerson were elite. Fred Jackson.....never!

Please show me then the All Pro selection that is basically a recognition that the guy was one of the best for a season . Heck, I 'll even take a Pro Bowl selection (which at times is just a popularity contest). There is none right?

I mean, what would really be the harm in bringing him to camp? He's probably better then the last rv currently on the roster. As sad as it is, he might be better then our current #2 lol. Let him go to camp, you can always cut him if it's all gone. Give him a chance to retire as a Bill the right way and maybe even play a preseason game. Let him suit up as the guy in the 4th preseason game. It would give some fans a reason to watch it

Because he was awful 3 years ago and definitely didn't get better.

Lots of narrow-minded ageism going on. I'd say invite him to camp and see if he can help the Bills at a position where they have next to nothing behind Shady. A player who had more career carries than Fred going into last season, for the record.

Fred has been proving the doubters wrong his whole career. I wouldn't bet against him.

Wow was expecting some more of this in here honestly...

...let the kid sail off into the sunset unscathed and with dignity......as far as WOF, somebody post the EXACT AND KNOWN criteria for membership and we then can discuss his pros and cons qualifiers if such a document does exist before the yipsters automatically disqualify him...........t,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I say bring him in and let him compete.

 

McCoy could definitely use motivation. He strives on it. And he had no idea who Fred Jackson is, obviously, so it would be great.

Sure. While we're at it, why not bring Terrell Owens back to compete for a WR spot, since they weren't able to sign Maclin? It'll be like 2009 all over again! In all seriousness, I would also like to make a simple request to the posters on here: please stop living in the past.
