Logical Reasoning Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Spiller was picked at nine and the draft choices around him are getting signed but he is the first running back and it is interesting that the chargers haven't signed their guy either. It is not only where you are but the position you play too I guess. He is going to be pretty good. If you over pay a bit now before Johnson is signed and Spiller becomes similar in style and production (very high hopes) you automatically have a great deal.

We all trust that he'll be good, but there aren't many 200# RB's that play in the NFL. Chris Johnson is the exception, but he also benefits from a very good OL featuring guys like OT's Michael Roos and David Stewart. Buffalo's ability to run block will be the deciding factor in how well the offense functions. And with Bell, Green, and Meredith being their top 3 tackles I think they'll struggle.

You love to piss on parades. 1) Fred Jackson averaged 4.5 ypc last season. 2) Just a quick scan of the rusher leaders from last year has the following rbs in the 200 to 210 lbs range (Spiller is listed at 196lbs.): Chris Johnson 191 Jamal Charles 199 Jerome Harrison 205 Knowshon Moreno 210 Jones-Drew 208 Ahmand Bradshaw 198 Lesean McCoy 208 Justin Forsett 194 Reggie Bush 203 http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?arc...mp;d-447263-p=1 3) He isn't meant to be an every down back. 4) Considering the league is more of a passing league than it's ever been, smaller, quicker backs are on the increase.
