YoloinOhio Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 I will really be rooting for him. I was already going to, but even more so now that I read this.
Kirby Jackson Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Now that's class, have a good career CJAmen Spiller is and has always been a class act. I wish him nothing but the best in NOLA. I have a feeling that he is in line for a big year in that Payton offense. He is the prototype for what they have done so successfully.
YoloinOhio Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 Amen Spiller is and has always been a class act. I wish him nothing but the best in NOLA. I have a feeling that he is in line for a big year in that Payton offense. He is the prototype for what they have done so successfully. I hope he stays healthy. If so, he will be ridiculous in that offense!
K D Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Class act. Great guy, wish he knew how to hit the hole. He will do much better in No on that fast turf in the dome and with Brees
eball Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 It's really hard to dislike CJ. I know many here try -- primarily because they didn't agree with where he was drafted -- but he's total class and always gave it his all. Hope he has a great year in New Orleans (but I still hope Shady has a better one here).
Gugny Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 CJ was a great Bill. I hope he has an incredibly productive rest of his career.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 During his spot on NFLN, when the trade went down, I thought I could see the disappoinent in his eyes. I think he truly wanted to stay here. I will always root for Spiller. Maybe Sean Payton can figure out how to "get him in space."
Charles Romes Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 The real interesting thing about the article is not what spiller said its that graham a buffalo reporter followed up on an outgoing player for a story. I'm not sure I've seen this level of digging for an NFL story but it goes to show there is an infinite demand for information out there.
Webster Guy Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I'm glad he didn't land with the jets. He's too good for them. I will always remember his 6 yard per carry season and how he embarrassed Miami. Met him at Canandaigua lake a few years back, super nice. Saints fans will like what they're getting.
qwksilver Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Him landing with the Saints will allow me to still root for him in a big way. Thank goodness it wasn't the JEsts or Cowpokes.

YoloinOhio Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) It is pretty crazy to think how far this organization has come in recent years. Clearly they are not over the hump yet when it comes to finding a franchise QB and making the playoffs. Hopefully this year. But ... hometown discounts? Sad to leave the city? No trashing of buffalo on the way out? FAs lining up to come here? Stars want to retire here? Cover of SI? Bring it on! Edited April 17, 2015 by YoloinOhio
Dorkington Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 CJ is awesome. Hopefully he finds success in NOLA
firemedic Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Class act, would have been killer to have kept him, best backfield in the league........
Malazan Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 not rare for a decent player or high pick to get a little follow up story here and there. It's pretty rare after they are on a new team. There's a lot of new guys that are here that could be interviewed.
Beef Jerky Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Good guy like most of these guys are but this is about football and CJ was a Bust for the Bills.
Kirby Jackson Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Good guy like most of these guys are but this is about football and CJ was a Bust for the Bills.I think that bust is pretty harsh. He was poorly used and still had a couple of good years when healthy. If he stays healthy he will be a monster in Payton's system. Spiller isn't a guy that you "run until he pukes." He is a weapon not really a RB. Just watch how Sean Payton uses him in the screen game, on jet sweeps, returning kicks and with a handful of carries in space. Neither Reggie Bush nor Darren Sproles have Spiller's natural ability and both of them flourished in that role. He is the prototype for what they do. People are going to talk about it like a "career resurgence" when in reality it will just be Spiller being used properly. Edited April 17, 2015 by Kirby Jackson
BigdaddyinOrlando Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Great character!! Class act and rooting for him to flourish!!
