KD in CA Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 It's sad that people seem to taking pleasure in a good guy getting cut. I think it's more people taking pleasure in how wrong the posters were who insisted Spiller was a top 5 RB, just needed to be 'in space', was only held back by Bills coaching, etc. I don't wish the guy ill, but he was yet another mind-numbingly stupid draft pick and that is frustrating as a fan.
boyst Posted September 3, 2017 Author Posted September 3, 2017 It's sad that people seem to taking pleasure in a good guy getting cut. no, it's hysterical. Just like all those who cheered for EJ Manuel, Reggie Ragland, Peerless price, Rex Ryan... And so many others. seeing this happen just reaffirms that some of us know a heck of a lot more than others about football so our joy is simply that we are laughing that we were right to begin with well others were so obsessive that we just need to give him a chance. If he played for any other team nobody would have ever cared, quite simply put most of these guys were terrible football players. I soon believe that Sammy Watkins will be on a list of players that didn't do amazing things when they left, just like Mike gillislee
dgrochester55 Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 I think that Spiller would have been better suited being groomed in a Sproles/Woodhead/Gillislee type role. Its too bad that Buffalo saw him as a top 10 draft choice and tried to treat him as that franchise back that could endure 20-30 carries every game. . It seems like KC would have been one of the few situations where he may have had a chance if there was anything left. With Charles gone from the team and Ware hurt for the year, he still could not even crack the roster. This may be the end for him in football. I hope he does well for himself in life.
dave mcbride Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Likeable player who had one transcendently great season for the Bills (6.0 ypc), and a lot of yahoo fans taking pleasure in his decline. Nice. You people who are dancing on his grave are pathetic. no, it's hysterical. Just like all those who cheered for EJ Manuel, Reggie Ragland, Peerless price, Rex Ryan...

KD, I think C.B agrees with you. It's the idiots taking pleasure in his failire that are the issue.
JMF2006 Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 I watched some KC PS games and he looked ok to be the 3rd or 4th string back......but he can't play ST and thats what got him cut. The KC commentators said as much during the games.
machine gun kelly Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 To the OP, were you not watching Spiller these last couple of years. Also, yes, he had some explosive runs in Buffalo, but more times than not he had zero gain runs and was frustrating because he's not patient and sees the hole.
Doc Brown Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 2010 has to be one of our worst drafts ever - Spiller, Troup, Carrington, Easley, Wang, Moats, Batton, Brown, and Calloway.
OldTimer1960 Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 It's sad that people seem to taking pleasure in a good guy getting cut. Agreed.
Another Fan Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) I always liked CJ. Still remember that kickoff return against the Pats in 2010. But unfortunately for him it wasn't a matter of the Bills just not knowing how to use him properly if he bounced around so much. Still don't think Marrone did him any favors.

Nice. You people who are dancing on his grave are pathetic. See above. i'm not dancing on his grave. clearly you lack reading fundamentals to understand what i said, which is actually pathetic. i want every player to become a HOF player - even the ones I do not like or think are that good (or overhyped). i am dancing on the coffin of those who may have already buried this and enjoy the idea that they are eating crow. i am dancing because i know it won't be much to have someone imagine he is still a capable nfl back. so, sorry charlie but you're wrong.
Bill from NYC Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Likeable player who had one transcendently great season for the Bills (6.0 ypc), and a lot of yahoo fans taking pleasure in his decline. Nice. You people who are dancing on his grave are pathetic. See above. Dave, I can't speak for everyone but I don't see any grave dancing. In fact, I wish him well and from day one I said that he was one of the worst draft choices I had ever seen. That is a heavy statement coming from a Bills Fan. It isn't about hate dave. Imo people marvel at the fact that posters on a message board (with you near the top of the list) have been on the money WAY more than Bills management. It is pretty amazing, wouldn't you say? He seemed to be a good person and I pray that he and his family are successful in their future endeavors.
Sandy McFiddish Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 If Andy Reid can't figure out a way to use you, may be time to gang them up or go north of the border. He would do well in Canada with their super wide fields
Haslett_Stomp Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 It's sad that people seem to taking pleasure in a good guy getting cut. ^ this. Spiller rented a house near a good friend of mine, who said CJ was a great guy.
Bills Fan in MD Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 So do the people taking pleasure in him being cut think that he sucks on purpose?
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Dave, I can't speak for everyone but I don't see any grave dancing.

He seemed to be a good person and I pray that he and his family are successful in their future endeavors. Bill, I didn't want Spiller but rather Bulaga. That said, I believed he could be a special player if used right. And for a year and half, he made some of the most explosive plays I've ever seen a Bill make. Some have suggested that Spiller may have had a learning disability and struggled to pick up the playbook. It makes sense because teams have said that and he was an academic all American. All that said, I hate the people who do badly want to be right on a message board. I hated almost every move the Bills have made this offseason but I want to be wrong. I won't be happy if I get proven right. ^ this. Spiller rented a house near a good friend of mine, who said CJ was a great guy. I've only heard positive things about him as guy. Taking pleasure in a good guy losing a job seems like some bad karma.
Ralonzo Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) New Orleans was CJ's best hope. Buffalo and KC are too far from the equator. Getting into space is more difficult. Subtle rocket surgery humour Edited September 3, 2017 by Ralonzo
