Beerball Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I'm glad he takes his annoyance out on the opposition.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I understand him being upset. But he should understand the Bills stance. They are wanting to see him keep producing the rest of the year. i am sure he will get a nice offer from them. Fred is also over 30 years old, that is old for RB. Not saying he wont get paid, but he will have to be reasonable. Dont think he is getting a huge contract from anyone. Maybe 4-5mil a year for 3 years. History shows that RBs production drops off fast somewhere over 30. it is crazy, but go look at Thurmans drop off at age 31.
Just in Atlanta Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Pay the guy. At 30, given his lack of play, he is in his prime.

The bills stance is, or was anyway, lets see what CJ does this season before going overboard with Fred Jackson. Pay the man Ralph, damn
Mr_Blizzard Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Pay the guy. At 30, given his lack of play, he is in his prime. Yup These players have a very narrow window to capitalize on their abilities. Get the money while you can!
iinii Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 pay the man! he has worked hard and it won't hurt Ralph to show some love. These kinds of things send reverberations throughout the locker room. Go Bills
artmalibu Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Maybe he should have played out his first contract to become a free agent. He doesn't have any leverage, 30 with 2 years left.

White Linen Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) I'm getting a little annoyed at hearing how annoyed Fred is all the time. Seriously! Shut your mouth and play. Edited September 21, 2011 by Triple Threat

The Big Cat Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 This is NOTHING. When the media rips a single word from a quote, gives you an 80 word blurb and never provides the entirety of the quote, it means they're making "something" out of "nothing" in order to meet their deadlines. Moving on...
billsfan89 Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Give him a nice bump just don't guarantee a lot of money I think Freddie has another 2 years of prime play in him (This and next season) and maybe could be a productive number two back the season after next as well.
Kelly the Dog Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 This is NOTHING. When the media rips a single word from a quote, gives you an 80 word blurb and never provides the entirety of the quote, it means they're making "something" out of "nothing" in order to meet their deadlines. That is complete and utter garbage.
Clippers of Nfl Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Maybe he should have played out his first contract to become a free agent. He doesn't have any leverage, 30 with 2 years left. hes top 5 right now. i think that's leverage if you ask me.
Chandler#81 Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 That is complete and utter garbage. Please explain. Annoyed. That's all. It's rare when I agree completely with the Big Cat, but I do here.
Kelly the Dog Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Please explain. Annoyed. That's all. It's rare when I agree completely with the Big Cat, but I do here. It doesn't at all mean anything. It could be a precise explanation of the only newsworthy element of the interview. Sometimes, sure, reporters take words or sentences out of context and it's extremely misleading. It happens all the time. But seeing an article like the one we just read doesn't "mean" anything, and especially doesn't mean that whenever you see one word like that, it's misleading or a lie. It's very likely, in this case, not only the word Jackson used, but the very best, and most accurate word to describe what he's feeling. I would bet $10,000 on it in fact, because I heard elsewhere the exact same thing.
Rob's House Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I'm getting a little annoyed at hearing how annoyed Fred is all the time. Seriously! Shut your mouth and play. I'm a little annoyed by these "shut up and play" posts. Dude is being the "good soldier" and going out and getting it done. He signed a back up contract, outplayed it becoming the starter for the last 2 years beating out 2 first rounders, and guys like you tell him to shut up and take what he gets. And don't give me this bull **** about honoring the contract he signed. If the he underperformed they'd have cut him outright. That sword cuts both ways. -see David Garrard
Endless Ike Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Pay the guy. At 30, given his lack of play, he is in his prime. He was still playing, still getting hit, still running into things. He just wasn't doing it in the NFL
