I really like it. He has a chance to win a Super Bowl and provide some leadership to a talented team.

Yes and going completely out of conference to boot. I never put much credence into the possibility of him going to the Pats.

Hitler learns of Fred being cut. (Captioning NSFW - language)

 

http://captiongenerator.com/57177/Hitler-Finds-Out-The-Bills-Cut-Fred-Jackson

I've seen about 1,000 of these. This one is pretty good!

 

For those that aren't familiar with this scene, it is from the German film "Der Untergang" and was marketed in the USA under the title "DOWNFALL".

 

It is one heck of a good movie worth watching.

Actually might be the best one yet.

Once he was cut by the Bills, I could not care less what team he signed with or how that team does.

Couldn't agree more. The reaction to him getting cut is absolutely ridiculous. 34 year old back with one one thousand yard season and no playoff appearances in ten years. Not to mention all the good things that have happened this offseason alone like hiring Rex and probably more importantly getting Roman. Getting Shady and Charles Clay. Fixing the miserable guard situation. Getting QB play that has exceeded expectations by far. Having an offensive line coach who actually knows how to teach guys to block not to mention an owner who will spend any amount to give this team the resources its needs across the board to get a championship. Let's also not forget that we aren't part of the LA conversation as this team is going nowhere for the next fifty years. And I'm supposed to be pouting like a #@$%$# five year old cause Fred got cut. The glass isn't even half full for some of you. It's shattered and your on your way to the ER with a severed artery and about five minutes to live. Get a friggin grip.

Yes, yes, and yes. Bruno Ganz is a terrific actor.

Do all you guys criticizing fans for being upset because Fred "wasn't that good" understand WHY people like him? They don't like him because he was born with Bo Jackson's ridiculous power/speed combo or Barry Sanders elusiveness. He wasn't an amazing athlete that dazzled fans with his talent. That wasn't the attraction.

 

They love him because he's an everyman who made himself into a guy who competed with and won jobs from guys who were brought in to be better. To take his job. For years the Bills were infatuated with drafting RBs high in the draft. They kept brining in first round guys and Jackson kept sending them packing. How? Hard work, perseverance, determination. Every ounce of his being was put into making himself a better player than the high profile picks. He became a back who could, literally, do it all. He rounded out his game in a way that superstar guys rarely do.

 

What Fred Jackson did transcends sports, he became a guy every human being could look at and admire because he's who we all aspire to be. He made himself the best he could possibly be. He couldn't compete with any of those guys athletically, but he did everything else in his power to hold onto his dream of being an NFL running back.

 

If you don't admire a guy like Fred and root for him no matter the jersey then you're not a human being I'd care to know.

Do you understand that virtually no one thinks differently? I think everyone agrees with that. That doesn't mean there isn't a time when he is no longer effective and worth a roster spot considering 20 different factors. It's debatable whether that time has arrived or not.

How effective is is currently has no bearing on what I'm talking about. And yeah, there are plenty of people in this very thread who obviously do think differently. I'm referring to the people who are basically mocking others that expressing their displeasure or are simply upset about Freddie not being a Bill any longer.

it is Belichikian, I agree. He always would rather move on a year too early rather than a year too late. He will have no issue cutting Brady when the time comes. Edited by YoloinOhio

But even if they are doing what you just said, I think that they agree with your core premise.

The fact that the Bills cut him doesn't bother me doest mean I don't admire him and quiet frankly I could care less that you don't want to know me. Love the dramatic touch BTW. 'Your not a human being Id care to know'. Sorry dude but Im not an ax murder or child molester because the Bills cutting fred hasnt motivated me to chastize management and disown the team. I love Fred as a person first. He is the model of class. He's done great things in the community. The Bills feel the right move is to go with younger players at that position. Don't see the need for the drama that has followed this decision. To many good things have happened this offseason and the play of Tyrod makes me think we could be on the verge of something special. Not Gonna let the release of one player(granted a very popular one amongst the fans) ruin that.

It's better than good -it's great. Performance for the ages by Ganz.
