You mean like when he played with a high ankle sprain even though he should not have been playing at all. Ok I'll bite. Let's say the Bills used him incorrectly. Please show me stats where he thrived and showed how great he was on another team. I kind of recall the Saints signing him to be their new Sproles since his skill set was a match. I will admit I believed this was going to be great for CJ. I also remember he didn't do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A waste in the modern era - a true waste. Travis Henry was also somewhat of a high pick in the 2nd round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what happened with him and the Saints unless he lost his explosiveness due to his injuries or age. It is just plain incorrect to call him "God awful." From what I read, he had a spectacular pre-season with the Chiefs and he was a surprise cut . . . until people realized that they had a young gem in Kareem Hunt.

I agree it was stupid to spend a high first round pick on yet another RB for the Bills, but saying he was a bad player is just wrong. He was one of the best RBs in the NFL for a short time under Chan. If you could draw up plays that got him the ball in space, he was beyond elite. Running between the tackles... not so much. Ultimately, definitely not worth the position he was drafted at. NO. He wasn't. He was a specialty back. He couldn't carry the load over a season. He did it in one game, the night game in Buffalo he dominated. But that's it. He never was someone other teamed planned around and was definitely something that we never planned around. He was a joke. He was just a dumbass dude who could run fast and be elusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is in the league for 8 years and has a total of 3,451 yards that's like 400+ a year. He was the worst back the Bills have had in a very long time. He had 1 good season.

hondo in seattle Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 29 minutes ago, dave mcbride said: His 2012 season was one of the best offensive performances by a Bill this century: a staggering 6.0 ypc plus 10.7 yards per reception (extraordinarily high for a running back). All very true. Yet the guy seemed to have a skill set that was hard to utilize. Only Chan got much use out of him. I feel bad by the guy. He went from that great season to a guy on the bubble who gets cut and signed by the same time 3 or 4 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berg1029 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Hopefully he sticks with them for the playoffs. When I think of Spiller, a few things come to mind: 1. Spiller wasn't used properly post-Chan. Even after going to the Saints, a place where it would seem he was set up for success (think Reggie Bush!), he still wasn't able to recreate the success he had with Chan. 2. The waste of a high draft pick on another RB. 3. Undue hate for the guy from fans-not his fault Bill's management took a RB that they didn't need 4. The video of him talking about sponge bob Didn't Buddy Nix or Chan Gailey refer to him as a water bug or something like that? I forget what their exact wording was Edited January 2, 2018 by berg1029 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
