Hey I thought they would try for it... didnt really like the idea. And actually, a combo of Tebow and Spiller could be lethal.

I'm still comfortable with my comment in the thread.

I'd say I'd about nailed it. Spiller was a good pick and Tebow would of been a horrible mistake in a trade up.

Lethal to our chances of making the playoffs, Tebow is not an NFL caliber QB.

i still stand by my assessment (which was not in that thread)... i said at worse he was a poor man's Reggie Bush, at best he was Tiki Barber.. and that either way he would be over drafted if taken by buffalo.

While Spiller is looking very good, I still think Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch are better running backs as of this moment in time. He has to take it to a level beyond what Tiki Barber reached in his career before i believe he was worth the pick in that draft.

There is simply no way Lynch is a better RB than Spiller.

I told you so threads are gayer than 9 men having an orgy.

You spend a lot of time talking about gay men.

The biggest complaint about drafting CJ Spiller was that Buffalo simply didn't NEED him, with two 1,000-yard backs already on the roster.
Just because he is playing well now - three years later - does not make those people wrong.

Drafting Spiller eventually forced Buffalo to trade Marshawn Lynch for a fourth round pick. In case you missed it, Lynch ran for over 1,200 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. He also ran for over 120 yards and a touchdown yesterday.

no other RB in the league has run for more yards over the last 11 games then Lynch.

He's tearing it up in Seattle right now.

So i stand by my post. It was an unneeded pick for a utility player. Until I see Spiller carry the rock more than 25 times in a game he'll forever be a 3rd down back in my mind. Remember this is a RB who's never carried the ball more than 19 times in a pro game. So perhaps we should back down from the hype for a bit. He's been the best player on the field for this team this year. Lets see how it turns out. Overall it's good for the franchise if he can become a Tiki Barber or better type of back, so I'll root for him, but as it stands right now, the draft pick was a waste.

He's still a 3rd down back in your mind? Wow... no comment...

And as for the 19 carries per game only.... well its hard for Spiller to get a lot of carries when he is averaging 10 yards per and getting to the endzone too fast.

Oh and Spiller can do 10x more for an offense than Lynch. Its not even close.

Not true and this is why Spiller may continue to only get a few carries (5-7) when Jackson is back. He's not a good blocker, never had been and never will. You can't call Max Protect with him which limits the offense and also is a tell. Lynch is a good blocker, and a great power runner. People want to overlook his ability because of his off the field issues but ask any Seahawks fan and they'll tell you they fleeced us in that deal and its hard to argue otherwise.
