YoloinOhio Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Phsyclally compares well to Le'veon Billbell went to HS about 5 minutes from me and wasn't highly recruited. He was definitely a late bloomer.
flomoe Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I know there is a huge love fest for Fred because he's been a Bill for a while but if he doesn't outperform the other RB's on the roster, he doesn't belong on the team. A roster spot for a fan favorite that doesn't contribute much on offense or on special teams probably shouldn't be on the roster. I like Fred as much as the next guy but the reality is that if he doesn't contribute, he shouldn't be there. The current structure of teams in the NFL with the cap, 53/46 man roster and overall struggle for teams to keep their own sucks. Hopefully things will change in the next CBA.
FLbills Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I don't assume that Whaley is attached to Bryce Brown beyond what he has and can prove in terms of his worth. GMs make great acquisitions and bad acquisitions. The good ones know when to move on, they don't stick with a guy just because he traded for him. If he isn't going to help the team more than another guy on the roster I don't think he will hesitate to move on. Jmo. Agreed. Pride should not be a determining factor when making roster decisions. Unfortunately, IMO, it is in some cases.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 It's possible they could try and show case Brown in pre-season to try and raise up some trade value in him. Even if only gets a6th or 7th rounder, still worth something.

Fred has never had a problem contributing on the field. I don't see how he'll be useless all-of-sudden...
