Frez Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I wouldn't be surprised to see Buffalo trade Fred Jackson for a draft pick or another player that could help us now. Jackson has more trade value than Lynch and we are loaded at RB with this Bell kid also waiting in the wings. Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Very few RB get traded. It is easier and cheaper to just draft one. I doubt either would bring much in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought Jackson had 4th highest total yards from scrimmage in NFL history last year -- on an otherwise pitiful offense -- and you want to trade that kind of production away? The more weapons this team has, the better. Gailey has got to feel like a kid in a candy store when he is drawing up plays with the talent in the backfield.

That is the WORST stat of all time and is very deceiving...remember that over 1,000 of those yards were on kickoff returns. Being a 1,000 yard kickoff return man can be done in your sleep - especially when opposing teams score a lot of points and you have 7 opportunities a game to get 20-25 yards a pop before you even see a defender. I am in agreement that Lynch should be on this team and that IF any gets traded out of the backfield, FJ should be the first to go of the three - Freddie is reliable and can get the job done for sure, but Lynch can and has too and has more big play capability.

OCinBuffalo Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 This... We need all the weapons we can get... Especially when we lost 2 running backs in one game already this year. Hopefully the FO learned the lesson. While I am very much looking forward to seeing Spiller get carries, I want Lynch in the game for 3rd and 2. I want to see Fred Jackson start the game and take the initial tough carries, and especially be in the game on 3rd and long because I don't trust Spiller to pick up the blitz...yet. My prediction: I bet there are a whole lot of plays, including wildcat sets and motions that set them up as WRs, with all 3 running backs in the game(Fred can throw, and so can Lynch), that we haven't seen yet. No point in putting them on tape in preseason. Never mind the fact that McIntyre has shown he can make a play when needed. Anybody remember the '88 Bengals 3 RB backfield? That was deadly...provided all 3 of them showed up and didn't miss the SB due to cocaine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I think -to the OP's point, we're going to be parting with at least 1 RB as I can't see keeping 6 on the 53. Simpson -from Indy- has NFL polish and will make a roster somewhere. Bell & McIntyre aren't going anywhere. Then we have 3 bona fide starters on a team that will go with 3 &4 wides as situations dictate. That's a whole lot of UN-use. As Frez sez, better to get something than nothing. Fast Freddie's '09 campaign puts a lot of luster on an aging RB who still has gas in the tank. Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast Freddie's '09 campaign puts a lot of luster on an aging RB who still has gas in the tank. Why not? Dick Jauron loved CBs, and now we have the, if not one of, the best secondaries in the league...supposedly. Chan Gailey loves offensive play makers. It seems reasonable to assume, especially given his gadget plays, that he will want to retain as many play makers as he can. That's why not. Consider: our much maligned offensive line has helped produce 1000 yards of total offense and 11( -2 Pick 6s...so 9) touchdowns...against teams that have supposedly good defenses...in three games. The offensive line is starting to look less and less important...and the playmakers more and more important...as time goes on.

PromoTheRobot Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 We need to trade away all our good players so we can draft our QB of the future. Were in danger of making the playoffs and messing up the plan. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDaDdy Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 This won't be a popular opinion with the fan boys. Jackson is a great running back but Lynch makes a better thunder to Spiller's lightning. Lynch is even better at getting the tougher yards and Lynch is MUCH younger. Lynch is more truly a change of pace from Spiller. It's still really early but Spiller just looks like a younger, more elusive and much more speedy Jackson. Right now and potentially for the future as well keeping all 3 makes a LOT of sense. That doesn't even take into consideration the injuries. If one does have to go next year or the year after that, it's probably Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmjoyce113 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Why would be we trade anyone? Think about how effective Spiller will be when defenses are tired in the third and fourth quarter. Spiller has only had 3 or 4 carries going into the second half. Lynch and Jackson have had 30 carries or so. I just don't see how a tired defense will stop and of our fresh running backs. Especially if that fresh running back is the fastest of the 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Both of those guys are Wally Pipp. Keep one as a power back, send the other one to Seattle for a conditional 3rd. I'd rather keep Lynch as a talent, but Jackson as a person with less risk of implosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Based on age & draft status (1st rd vs undrafted FA) Lynch has more trade value than Jackson. Plus, of the two, Lynch is the guy who wants out of here. Trade Lynch when a contender loses its #1 RB after a few weeks & have Jackson, Simpson & Bell backing up Spiller.

bowery4 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 yeah because trading your best players is the best way to build through the draft I want to hear this argument again in week 11 or 12 and you guys do know this is MLs contract year right? That maybe reason #1 they shopped him a little earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather have Jackson take that carry. Jackson finds space and hits holes. Lynch runs into people's backs. As far as trading one vs the other, I don't care. RBs of their caliber are a dime a dozen. Edited August 31, 2010 by Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
