  1. i will agree that IF he stays healthy, he has much better help around him and should produce this season. Not betting on it. But it should happen.
  2. unfortunately, you cannot or never could rely on him to do it. Even in that "spectacular" season, he was injured twice. A RB has to be relied on. He's got to be one of the foundations for the team. And when he's out, it hurts the overall progress of the team.
  3. 1,700 yards... The way you say it gives the impression that it was all on the ground. 500 of it was receiving. CJs best season is still barely as good as 3 of Fred's seasons from 09-11. And Fred was already 30 at that time.
  4. thanks bud. I am not old enough to have watch the Great. It is a different time. But I agree that CJ could be a monster if used in the right way, on the right team and with all the pieces in place. For example, if he was on the Chiefs instead of Priest Holmes, he would be on his way to a HOF career. But that's in perfect scenarios. Like many others have already said. We can complain about the play calling all we want. We can complain about the offense all we want. But at the end of the day, a dominant RB doesn't worry about all that, he just produces and CJ doesn't do that. Even his "good" season was miserable IMO broken down to average per game. I ised to really want him to succeed. Be the next big thing. But he's just not. Just like Chris Johnson. All the hope in the world but in the end, after a few years, nobody cares anymore. There's only so much we can say "if he was just used correctly" he could be one of the best in the league. At some point, he's just gonna have to show it. And for the record, I wouldn't care if he left and went to any team. The Jets, Pats, Dolphins, or any other. He doesn't scare me. He makes poor decisions while running and choosing holes, not waiting for blocking, running out of bounds, and is ALWAYS hurt.
  5. actually I'm not marginalizing any achievements from CJ. IMO he's done nothing. Even his 1,200 yard season is disappointing IMO. Never hit 10 TDs. Only one 1,000 yard season. He's never produced. I will give you this, he does have all the potential to become a monster. However, he lacks the durability to do it. He lacks the vision to do it. I too once had high hopes for CJ. Thought he could be dominant just like Tomlinson, or Priest Holmes before him. But he has constantly proved us wrong. Honestly, I'm not alright with giving him another contract at all after this. If he has a dominant year this year, he's going to want way too much, if he has another disappointing season, he's not worth any money were looking to pay him. Let him go I say. Personally, I think he may be gone in a trade at some point this season.
  6. 300, 600, 1,200 is hardly stellar. Even the 900+ yards he got last year is miserable. You can look at YPC all you want. But it doesn't mean anything if your not putting up solid yards in the end. Even 1,200 yards is barely a good season. Break that up into yards per game and tell me if that's really good. Think about it in fantasy standards if you think that'll help. But CJ has produced the following averaged per game. 2010: 17.69 yards per game with 0 TDs 2011: 35.06 yards per game with .25 TDs 2012: 77.75 yards per game with .38 TDs 2013: 58.31 yards per game with .13 TDs Hardly stellar. If you had that in a fantasy back, he would be your 3rd or 4th option. Solid backs produce no matter what offense they are in. No matter who they're offensive coordinators are. http://www.nfl.com/player/c.j.spiller/497204/careerstats
  7. sell said. And I'll add to it. Who the hell really cares if CJ goes after this year if he hails another year like he did last year? People always want to bring up how they should use him like Chan did. Why??? He had 1 single solid year under Chan. The rest were just as terrible as last year under Hackett. And besides, if he can't adapt to the way our offense is supposed to be, why bother with him??? Isn't that why we just traded Stevie? People need to get a grip sometimes. Attached to certain players is correct. This kid has barely shown anything IMO. And of he craps out again this year, regardless how they use him, it shows me that he's not worth a big contract. You know who gets big contracts? Guys that are dominant no matter what happens, who their coach is, every year. CJ hasn't shown any of that.
  8. the Cargil elevator would be perfect. Just use the elevators as one of the sides of the stadium.
  9. Cheektowaga- aero drive area near Madams and Pharoahs as well as the airport, transit, and the 90/290split. Downtown-waterfront, harbor, possibly using some of the old grain mills as basis for the stadium. Hamburg- using possibly ecc lot as base for the stadium. Right across the street. Using the lots available. Complete renovation of the Ralph.
  10. not knowing anything about the guy, after a minute of that video in on board. Is he a FA?
  11. Thank you for your service. Thank everyone that is the military serving or has already. Prayers go out to the families of the ones that made the ultimate sacrifice for this country and it's people.
  12. I always liked LS. My sister had a crush on SC. Can't imagine why. He was one ugly MFer.
  13. haha. Yes. I can see JS saying that already. And in all fairness, the only reason for the ruptured sewer line was because they had already started work on it. If they didn't start updating already, it wouldn't have been an issue.
  14. I also don't like the black but I guess I'll just have to see it when it's finished. I'm thinking the black we see now looks like a lot but the amounts of blue, red, and white that'll be in there are going to drown it out a little.
  15. Grats to you both
  16. then Ore suites or luxury types of seats with heaters and wait service at yiur seat. Not quite as expensive as a box, but more expensive than the average ticket. More party areas at the end zones like a bar/restaurant that overlooks the action, much like the 200 level in First Niagara. There are plenty of options. the only problem is that this is not baseball. This is football. People can leave work a little early and still catch a baseball game. Football is an all day event. Also, there are 80 games a year in baseball, and only 8 in football. Defeats the purpose a little.
  17. Chicago, Green Bay, and Kansas City all disagree with you. It just so happens all 3 are also cities and stadiums with a lot of history. No different from The Ralph. Hundreds of millions could be out into The Ralph and completely update it for "today's NFL" instead of over a Billion on a new stadium. this
  18. if they can get out from stadium parking for a measly $4m. They will do it in a heartbeat. Insurance liabilities, resurfacing, hiring attendants, security, worrying about fights, vandalism, etc... would cost more than that. I'd even go upwards of doubling that or even more. Some guy paying $1B for a stadium doesn't care about $4m a year if it means less hassle and legal work for him. Hands down the easy option.
  19. $4m is like buying a pizza to these guys. Would be worth it to not even bother with the $4m because then you have to deal with the issues the lots can cause. Liability. Etc..
  20. If they move the stadium downtown, or NF. Tailgating is over. At least as we know it. It'll be like corporate beer tents for our foreseeable future. Which is why I'd rather perform a Chicago Bears, GB Packers, KC Chiefs type renovation on the Ralph. Add another level over the end zones on top of the scoreboards or something. But keep the team playing where they are.
  21. Dumb. For her using that. And even more for them allowing it. Can't out it in there and then punish later. Their faults for not catching it sooner.
  22. believe whatever you want guy
