Fr. Jerk Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) I saw a commercial for the AFFL and they mentioned Freddie. Glad to see the guy is still earning that nice gwop. Edited July 8, 2018 by The Jerk 1
Freddie's Dead Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 He'll still be better than the last RB on our final roster. GO FredEX!
Homey D. Clown Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Arguably the greatest Bill since the superbowl years. 1

Thunderstruck Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Clearly- it was time to move on.... to Tolbert 1

But come playoff time with wind blowing 25mph and a 0-0 game; when we march 90 yards to the 1 yard against one of the best defence in the league, we decide to throw fades and a bunch of other stupid plays. yes, I'm still pissed at the play calling on the 1 yard line that would most likely have won the game even if it was only the second quarter.

Fred Jackson was an average player on terrible teams. Great guy and the only decent player to watch for years on offense, but Kyle has easily had a better career. Go look at Fred's stats. He was never an elite player. He was average. What makes Fred great are the intangibles.

I think most people would agree that Kyle Williams has been a very good player. It's obvious, though, that you have a bias for some reason, so I'm not going to bother. Have a nice day!

eball Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Man, I appreciated Fred's effort as a Buffalo Bill as much as anyone but people sure do like worshiping "decent" players on bad teams. Aside from 2011, when Fred was off to an awesome start until he got hurt, he had "nice" statistics but nothing that jumps out at you. Really hard worker, great guy, and some memorable moments as a Bill, but certainly never an "elite" RB in the NFL. He overcame pretty ridiculous odds to fashion a 9-year NFL career and should be commended for that. He doesn't belong in the NFL in 2018 and to suggest he's "better" right now, at age 37, than RBs on NFL rosters is a bit silly. Could he suit up, carry the ball a few times, and catch a few passes? Sure, but not at the expense of younger players with more potential. When someone starts clamoring for Fred to be on the Bills' wall of fame, my eyes will really start rolling. 1

He led the NFL in all purpose yards before.. don’t let just rushing yards make your opinion of him he was one of the best if not best blocking back among his peers... he was a kick returner / punt returner for us at 1 point a slot receiver and a 3 down back He was the star of the offense and the league knows how good Fred was Edited July 9, 2018 by Buffalo716
