NoSaint Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Boobie knows Roman's system and is a valuable ST contributor. He'll be on the team this year. It's Bryce Brown, as many have stated, who's on very shaky ground. The flip side being the niners let him walk. Just because the guys were paired before doesn't mean he's a gimme
rafter Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Common theme in both clips is Fred making things happen when we need him to. He made a mistake that time, but doesn't do it often. No one can ever question the heart. That's the reason for the longevity. Usually when a rb gets a paycheck taking the hits doesn't seem so fun
mitchmurraydowntown Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Ah yes, the subject those who cannot think of anything legit to post, post. He will cut himself.
Haslett_Stomp Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 hate to post this, but this quote reminded me of a specific game. sadly http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap2000000093109/Fred-Jackson-s-second-fumble All RB's fumble. Fred was/is a dynamite overachiever for us for years. I think he should get a fair shake in TC. If he still has anything left to offer it would be great to see him ride off after a playoff victory @ home. I was at this game at Gillette. Spikes knocked out Fred with a questionable elbow to the head. Watch the video closely, Fred is lying motionless on the ground while others scramble for the ball.
BuffaloFan68 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Next RB Coach for the Buffalo Bills - Fast Freddy Jackson.
Rob's House Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Question: How do you cut a player with dignity? WTF does that mean? Do you give him a dozen roses when the turk comes calling? fred has been and will be a very important part of the offense. 2 dozen roses. And an older bottle of wine.
todzilla Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 FJ will probably be a 5-8 touch per game guy this season and that should keep him healthy and effective. 1 more year.
dezertbill Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Brown will be gone before Fred. Jackson is going no where his year. Stop this nonsense. Yup
Freddie's Dead Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Wow, the Fred haterz on this board are simply breathtaking. You guys have been throwing dirt on Fred's grave for 5 years now. He's outplayed both Marshawn Lynch and CJ Spiller when they were with the Bills. As What a Tuel pointed out, he led the team in first downs last year and had over 1000 all-purpose yards. So you go from that to cutting him, or you say he's only good for one more year. Fred's going to prove you all wrong one more time. But you'll be back next year saying to cut him again. Eventually, you'll be right, and then you'll say, "See, I told you so". Meanwhile the rest of us will remember Fred's last 5 years and look forward to his next 3-4 as a specialty back before retiring as a Bill. Edited May 3, 2015 by Fred Jackson Jockstrap
Dorkington Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 McCoy is the only sure thing in the backfield this off season.... FredEx, Brown, Boobie, and Karlos will be battling it out for two spots. I could see FredEx being one of the two, but I could also see him not. Because I like him and think he's awesome, I hope he steps up to the challenge.
ALF Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 When its time for Fred to retire , the Bills can keep him as a RB coach , makes room on roster and cap space.
Thunderstealer Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 FJ will probably be a 5-8 touch per game guy this season and that should keep him healthy and effective. 1 more year. Watching Fred run is like watching fast water wash over smooth rock. If Fred was never on the Bills, Whaley would be searching for someone like him to play his limited roll. If you're looking for him come fall--he'll be in the endzone.
Buffalo Boy Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Fred is an ALL TIMER as a Bill but the time has come. Whaley has to put on his "Big boy" pants, make the move and take the flak. This board will explode, the crying and whining will be tremendous.......and life will go on. This move is as much about Whaley demonstrating his GM acumen as it is about Fred. and I LOVE Fred!!!!!

If he's actually beaten out I think everyone, including Fred, will accept it.
K D Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 I just saw Fred at the casino last weekend. He looks like he's in great shape and he was killing it at the blackjack table if that's any indication. I wouldn't want to be a RB competing with Fred trying to make this team (Brown, Williams). Fred is going to bring it and prove the doubters wrong
