I still have a C.J Spiller one.  I won a Victor Cruz jersey around that time.  So I traded that jersey for a C.J Spiller one with a Giants friend of mine. Water under the bridge at this point but I though after Spiller’s 2012 season he finally turned a page.

 

Seeing a Josh Allen jersey for sale made me of think this.  As much as I’d like to see him succeed that’s kind of a risky investment so to speak

Seeing your post made me think of this topic we had here a couple months ago: But being that its a long off season & that we've had more than our fair share of players who haven't worked out, theres no shortage of jerseys i imagine that'd fit this list.

 

I don't have the money to buy jerseys like i'd like to, especially investing into a player that may end up gone, like my Fitzpatrick or McGahee jerseys. So now a days I'll put my own name on the back of it, since you can't ever go wrong with that. PS: I'm glad I never bought a Poz or Dareus jersey. Come to think of it, there's not many BIlls players i'd want as a jersey. But all that's starting to change. Maybe that in itself is a sign that times here are changing... and for the better!

Marcel Dareus.  When I purchased it (right after he was drafted) I expected to get a lot more use out of it.  My wife has had the worst luck, as her last two have been Spiller and Watkins.  My current jersey is Tyrod.  I’m thinking I might spurge for a nice Thurman Thomas jersey that I will be able to wear forever.

My son has a signed and framed Bruce Smith jersey hanging in his media room. It’s one of his prized possessions with a prominent spot in his favorite room.

Feels like a creative way to criticize the drafting of Allen.

I've never really been a jersey guy, but in 2013 I went to the Andre Reed HoF induction and in my excitement decided to get my first one there. They only had two choices, Manuel and Watkins, so obviously (h/t then coach Dougie) I went with the latter. Knowing I can be a bit of a jinx, my friends razzed me, but figured Sammy was a sure thing at that point. Oh well.

 

One of the friends from that trip has a picture of his two kids wearing jerseys of JP Losman and Fitz, with him wearing CJ Spiller. He calls it the "Timeline of Bills Misery." 

 

Another friend has a host of these, but he's a comic and has a tendency to send away for jerseys of pre-season stars like Arthur Moats and Jordan Mudge. He bought one of Eddie Yarbrough last year, but it turned out to be a t-shirt. Although two of the three I named here actually exceeded expectations, so...

Other than maybe a Kyle jersey, the older guys is the way to go, in my mind. I wound up with a Thurman jersey (I didn’t buy it), and I think that’s the safest way to go.

Bought Marel Darius right after he signed his big extension. 

 

BIG MISTAKE! At least you got good use outta yours cuz you bought it after the draft.

I thought Bruce Smith worked out pretty well myself but I am a Homer.

Just following out on my comment that we are not really jersey people. THAT is what it takes for us to get into jersey’s. One son got it for the other for Christmas. Very cool.

I had one in a storage locker somewhere with some other things but I 'didn't bother' to keep up on the rental payments.

Bought the following for my kids: Poz, Watkins, Gilmore, Dareus, Lynch, Edwards. 

The only jersey I've ever owned is Thurman Thomas HOF emblem. Never worn. Never will.
