Freddie was true Blue and was a ray of sunshine for Bills fans when we needed it the most... SO I vote yes Fred had the stats one year too. Lead the League in total yards, running, receiving and returns. Edited April 18, 2018 by USABuffaloFan

All I could see was that Fred was supposed to go down and he just kept running. I couldn't understand it. Then they showed the replay. Oh, my, you are correct, my man.
Pasaluki Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 He definitely deserves the WOF. Hell of a player for us who came out of obscurity.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) As a Buffalo Bill Freddy gets mad love- for that reason I guess so. As a player he was good, not great. Edited April 18, 2018 by Over 29 years of fanhood

What do you think? Absolutely!!!
USABuffaloFan Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 "Jackson became the first player in NFL history to register at least 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 kickoff return yards in a single season. That same year, the led the National Football League in all-purpose yards.

Go-Bills Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Fred symbolizes everything Buffalo is!!! Never say quite Never say Die! Put on the Wall tomorrow. 1
Putin Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 41 minutes ago, Utah John said: Yes, certainly. Only the fourth best Bills RB (after OJ, Cookie, Thurman -- can't rate Shady yet) but still the most heart and drive of any Bill during that era. I thought he was 3rd behind only Thurman and OJ

You don't have to have the best career in the history of the franchise to get on the Wall. You have to have been a transcendent Buffalo Bill, a person who occupies a special place in the fan psyche. That's why Bob Kalsu is there. That's why Daryl Talley is there. And that's why Fred will be there. Well said!
SouthNYfan Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Meh. Loved the guy, but not Wall of Fame. 21 minutes ago, Doc said: No. WOHM (Honorable Mention)? Sure. Agreed. Not sure what everybody thinks he's a no brainier. 1

For the most part he played on some crap Bills teams. But his effort every game was like he was playing in the SB.

Buffalo716 Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 From 2007- 2014 Fred Jackson ranks 14th in the NFL in rushing yards 11th in Yards per attempt 6th in receptions for RB 5th for Receiving Yards Heck of a career buddy! Blessed to have watched you as a Buffalo Bill
WhoTom Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Freddie was the quintessential Buffalo Bill. He was an underdog, but he didn't get the memo. He didn't have the natural ability of Shady, Marshawn, or other elite RBs, but he gave 100%, every play, every game, even on some really lousy teams with bad coaches. When you work with a guy like that, his work ethic compels you to work harder. He should go on the wall to serve as a role model for every guy who puts on a Bills uniform. (And when Kyle retires, I'll say the same about him.)
blacklabel Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 100%. He's third all-time in rushing for the Bills behind only Thurman and that other guy.
