HamSandwhich Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 That's an interesting article. Ageless Freddy J
prissythecat Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 All I know is that we need to get rid of Fred based on that other thread someone started ...
Trader Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Statistical analysis is deadly accurate when using large groups. The problem is projecting that to an individual. People beat the odds all the time especially exceptional individuals and Fred Jackson is certainly one of those. Sooner or later the years will catch up to him. I will bet the later.
Rockinon Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 That is a really great article. I've always liked Fred. There is something about him that just inspires everyone around him. I hope his agelessness lasts a while longer.
Just in Atlanta Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Astonishing how short a RB's career is. The oldest ever to hit those metrics is 32 -- FJ and Walter Payton. Barring injury, I see no reason why he can't be dominant for two more seasons.
It's in My Blood Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 All I know is that we need to get rid of Fred based on that other thread someone started ... I wish TSW had a like button....
boyst Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) So, hey. I remember a thread about Fred Jackson being a top 5 back a few months ago. Yeah. What happened to that?! It was this one: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/162858-fred-jackson-is-a-stud-top-5-back/ Edited December 20, 2013 by jboyst62
Rubes Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 All I know is that we need to get rid of Fred based on that other thread someone started ... No, we just need to trade him for a 1st or 2nd round pick.
3rdand12 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Where is my new friend oman128 ? I am interested in converting him. To a Fred believer . Fred and CJ forever do you all know we have never properly named the duo ? Next season perhaps .
CSBill Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Anyone who watches the Bills on a regular basis can see the obvious: FredX is the best offensive player on the team. And his value goes way beyond the stats (as good as they are), but also his leadership and example. Yes, one of these days he will hit that tipping point of his age catching up to him. But until then, watch and enjoy what a true profession we have in Fred Jackson.
DC Tom Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Plus, he can convert kilobaryes to hectopascals.
boyst Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Plus, he can convert kilobaryes to hectopascals. you're an idiot, but that is pretty funny. Too bad we do not have any other players that can perform with hectopascals, especially SJ13.
dave mcbride Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) numberfire.com/nfl/news/1561/fred-jackson-the-ageless-wonder …Fred is #5 on the top 10 list great find; thanks. The key graph, however (which echoes a point I made in another thread): "Let’s note a few things here. First, NEP numbers are lower for running backs compared to passers and receivers because running the ball is far less effective than throwing it. That doesn’t mean that rushing should be eliminated from the game of football, but it does tell us that throwing the football will yield more offensive success than running it. And that’s pretty evident when you watch the majority of NFL teams in today’s game." The passing game has been the Bills problem for years because of the QB problems. Chan Gailey was a great passing game coach, fwiw. Edited December 21, 2013 by dave mcbride

Having Reggie Bush, Calvin Johnson, and Stafford would be interesting.
Wesdawg Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Possibly the hardest working, most undervalued player of his position in the league.

littlelouie Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Fred is a great back and also a leader. You need guys like him on a team. Bills are fortunate to have him. I wish they could get Freddy and Spiller on the field at the same time.
