Now That Jackson is Re-signed

Does this put Marshawn one step closer to the door? Discuss.

Hope so.

I'd take a 2nd rounder.

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

If he stays out of trouble i would hope we give him an extension at some point. I love Jackson but come on, Lynch is our guy hands down

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

no*&%#ing way, unless he finds trouble with the law again, then he's out. As a player he's very hard to replace.

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

Not unless he gets in trouble with the law again. Geeze... lets see if the young kid will learn from his suspension.

He's too talented to give up on this early. You guys are nutz.

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

No. The love for Jackson is well-founded. The guy has a story and can play. The anger towards Lynch is also well-founded. He has made mistakes.

The thing is, Fred Jackson can start in the NFL, but at the moment with the Bills he is a #2. A change of pace back. Which fits better.

Lynch goes in and fights for every yard, wearing defenses down and tiring them out. Then Jackson goes into spell Lynch and takes advantage of the bigger holes and slower D. That is how it works. Lynch is the number one, Jackson the number two.

I have a feeling that Jackson would be a stellar number one for a couple of weeks, maybe even a half a season, but once defenses start playing towards his strengths he will struggle. Lynch plus Jackson > Jackson alone.


Lynch is the franchise guy now. He needs to stay out of trouble, but he is a great back and hasn't even tapped his potential yet.

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

No way we give up on him this fast. If he gets in trouble again, he will be released

[The Spaz]

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

I can't believe any fan would "hope" for him to leave. If he stays out of trouble why wouldn't you want him on he team?

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

No way you trade him away...in this NFL you need the 2 back set, luckly we now have 3 RB's who all can play, with rhodes contributing. Obvisoulsy Lynch and Jackson are 1 and 2, but Rhodes can spell either when needed and play FB in a 3RB set.

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

No Jackson is old and not big enough to be every down back.

No Jackson is old and not big enough to be every down back.

jackson is not that old so that's a terrible excuse, and he can be a every down back because he did it in a few games last year!!

We still don't get rid of lynch tho!! he is too good to release or trade

He's not that old but he is 28 so he has 2 years until 30 when most backs start to go downhill.

Re: Now That Jackson is Re-signed

This thread wasn't one of me hoping or suggesting that we get rid of Marshawn, I love the guy. I was just speculating from another perspective.
