Formerly Allan in MD Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 He should have been traded. Forgot, we're going to have a great playoff run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadLandsMeanie Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I am seeing the opposite thing. I see him as being very nimble today. If he moves on I would hope it is so he can pursue a championship with someone. We are rebuilding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Spiller I don't see the Bills ever drafting a RB early. .....NOT going to happen! I don't post much anymore...no time. However, I felt a comment was deserved here. Well said...and so very true.

In fact I'll go as far to predict a RB pick in the Top 2 rounds. I think he's finally showing his age. He's not shot. He just isn't cut on dime anymore. You should have done a poll. By the time we are good, Shady will not be a relevant contributor to the team, so the exact timing of when he leaves doesn't really matter. He'll be gone by the time this team arrives.

He does juke himself out and falls a lot which is silly but he's still a dominate runner. Cadet did well today too. Yes, he will be here. Of course, his production would be higher on a per carry basis if they would stop running him when there are 8 in the box....must have done that 8 times today. Need to throw when there are 8 in the box, that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsSbSoon Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) Hes still an upper tier rb but i dont think hes quite as elusive as he used to be. But even with that hes still more elusive than mostly everybody else. I wouldnt be shocked at all if he was traded after this year. During this losing streak i was pretty convinced that would be the case too. Either way we need a back after this year Edited November 27, 2017 by BillsSbSoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackington Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 2 yards a carry but Tyrod is the problem this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) He’s not what he was, but is probably the best runner in the AFC East. I don’t think he’s tough enough physically sometimes where it would be better to lower the helmet and slam it forward for 2-3 yards. Too many negative plays, and dancing and not enough one cut and consistent gains. I’d prefer a back that always gets 3-4 yards per carry. Over a guy who gets stuffed twice for every decent gain.

Coming into the season I figured the plan was to run Shady until his wheels fell off, then replace him next season. Here is how I would figure he will be handled in the off-season. I believe they will approach him about either a restructure or pay cut with the idea that he will not be the lone back next year. I think if he is unwilling to deal, they will cut/trade him and swing with a rookie and possibly Cadet. I believe if something can be worked out McCoy will be back with a rookie backing him up/splitting carries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need high picks to get any position if you draft well. If a RB is BPA in the 1st round you take him. Obviously if a QB is there that you like, by all means it makes sense but to completely eliminate the idea of taking all RBs in the 1st round based off of position alone is such a dumb statement that I can't even wrap my head around it.

How many times has drafting a RB in the first round been the tried on this team. It is idiotic and the positional galue isnt there. Of course unless your Buffalo how love taking 1st round RBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonabb Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 no question. Lost a step, too expensive. Cheaper alternatives in the middle rounds. Not saying I don't like the guy or appreciate him. But it's a business and he's too expensive for the ROI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN-CAL17 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I think he’ll be here, but they’ll draft his replacement... Royce Freeman Oregon Raashad Penny San Diego St Josh Adams Notre Dame Nick Chubb Georgia Justin Crawford West Virginia Kerryon Johnson Auburn there are a bunch of stud RBs this year.... gotta grab a guy to learn from Shady....

billsfanmiami(oh) Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Jesus we are fickle...Shady is one of the only good things about this team offensively. If the right side of the line wasn’t a complete dumpster fire and if we hadn’t decided to institute a completely new (horrible) blocking scheme, his numbers would be much better. He has always been a guy that’s going to get stuffed a lot, but he also does amazing things that make you shake your head. And he’s done plenty of them this year.
